DEX II The DEX II is a forward-rotating, user-controlled inversion machine. The body is placed in a 90/90 position which helps to flatten the lumbar curve for greater separation of lower vertebrae. Traction is applied to the hip joints and spine, with no loads to the ankles and knee joints. The DEX II is ideal for back extension exercises - it works like a roman chair, but with better ergonomic support. The unique traction handles offer a method for increased decompression. |

Great for achy backsJun 12, 2008
Well constructed, easy to set up and comes with all tools needed. Thighs are horizontal when inverted, so your weight is easily held on the pads and you can relax your legs and back. Pads quickly adjust to fit multiple body sizes. This takes up a bit of room and doesn't fold up, but is great for decompressing your spine. An inversion device was recommended by my chiropractor to relieve back and hip pain, and this model is worth the price.
 Excellent MachineMar 19, 2008
The machine came very quickly from Amazon and I could set it up within 15 minutes with the tools they even provided in the (large) package.
This machine notably does not have a center support but two on the side so that you do not hit your head when doing upside down crunches. It is of quality construction.
My back feels much better with the time spend stretching it out at the end of a day sitting. A very worthwhile purchase.

Dex II - Versatile Combo MachineJan 12, 2008
I had actually intended on getting a Roman chair to do back extensions, but Amazon's great price ($175) on this dual capability machine convinced me to give it a shot and also add the capability of inversion. As for the machine itself, it's quite heavy-duty, but very easy to assemble. Make sure you have the floor space available as it does not collapse after assembly. As for user weight limitations, in my judgment it will easily support even the extremely large individual.
The unique design for inversion takes all the stress off the knees and ankles as the weight is supported primarily on the upper thighs, anchored by pads behind the calves. These pads are adjustable vertically, but not horizontally. So, if you have short legs, you will not be able to hold the legs in a 90 degrees angle as you hang upside down ( the lower legs will be somewhat extended behind the pads.) This may be an issue if you intend to invert for extended periods. I have not found it a problem for my ~ 10-min inversions.
Individual machines typically costing $200 or more apiece would obviously do a better job at both back extensions and inversion; however, at $175, this versatile machine is well worth the money. Also, highly recommended for larger users who want the benefits of inversion but cannot take stress on the knees and ankles.

Teeter Dex IIDec 25, 2007
Delivery was on time. Easy assembly. Very good for traction on lower back. The only drawback for me is that I can only hang upside down for a couple of minutes at a time. Not a miracle, but it is definitely beneficial to my lower back.
