Great ValueNovember 29, 2008 Pretty easy setup. You'll need a couple of wrenches and a hammer. Having a helper helps. Took me about 45 minutes by myself.
Works great for me.
My biggest gripe is that the upper supports that hold the pullup bar make it so I can't grab the bar right where I'd like to. I think this is the case for all of these towers, though.
My second biggest complaint is the quality of the grips and the pads. They're not bad...they're just not gym-equipment grade. Of course, this thing isn't gym-equipment expensive.
I'm 150lbs and with this on carpet it wobbles a little when I do pullups really fast. If you're heavier, you might want to consider bolting it to the floor.
Also: mine's black, not white like the picture.
Designed for the average joe.October 19, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am 6'4"; therefore, I have found the VKR Tower lacking in two areas. When performing wide grip pull-ups, the padded arm supports are rather confining, coming too close to my sides. The second annoyance is the diameter of the pull-up grips; they are far too small for my larger hands causing too much effort to be directed into my forearms rather than the area I am attempting to strengthen, my back. To circumvent this problem, I wrapped a sock around the grips and used athletic tape to wrap around the sock and grip. Despite all this, I would buy the product again. It was the right price, and I was able to modify the product to make it work.
If Space is a Concern, this is the Power Tower to GetOctober 6, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
First off: I received the shipment missing two pieces from the manufacturer. I emailed them requesting assistance. They immediately shipped the missing two pieces to me. I can't fault a company for an honest mistake, but I will commend them for so quickly and easily fixing it.
Secondly, the unit, itself. A) Construction: I was able to put it together by myself in under 2 hours. B) Exercises: The pullups are good. Good widegrip and normal pullup options. Very little movement when using. The dips wobble just a little, but the tower is certainly stable. Also, because the dips are on the same side as the pullup bar, there needs to be a slight bit of care to avoid the overhead pullup bar when raising on the dips. This does not hinder the exercise, just requires a little getting used to. Although I don't use them as much, the pushup bars and vertical knee raise bars work well. C) Space: this is why I purchased this equipment. I had a limited space and this machine excels at that. Because the exercises are all on the same side, the machine fits smooothly up against a wall. I am more than willing to be a little more attentive when doing dips in order to have the equipment fit where I wanted it to. D) Bottomline: I wanted a pullup and dips machine and I had a limited space to put it in and the Amber VKR Tower - Space Saver definitely met my needs, along with adding two additional exercise options, and all for a very reasonable price ($130 + $55 S&H). I am very satisfied with my purchase.
Great, takes an hour to set upJune 30, 2008 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This power tower does the job. I had to knock one of the pieces together with a hammer to jam it in, but besides that, installation was smooth. Took about an hour. And it performs very well. I especially like the how the leg raise handles fold out of the way, so you can do pull ups and tricep dips facing away from the machine.
