Teeter Hang Ups EP-960 vs. Contour L5 Inversion Table Comparison

November 6, 2013 By Steven Kirchhof

We have been fielding questions about the differences between the Teeter EP-960 and Contour L5 Inversion tables lately, and thought we would publish a quick comparison between the two. To see a comparison of over 10 of the most popular tables, check out our best inversion table review and comparison article.

Background

The Contour L5 is sold through retailers whose sales are primarily local (brick & mortar), while the EP-960 is sold through online and offline retailers. It is not uncommon for B&M retailers to have access to exclusives. This helps them compete against online merchants who frequently have better pricing due to their low overhead. And with heavier items, such as an inversion table that weighs around 70 pounds, many consumers would prefer to have it delivered to their door rather than have to pick it up (especially for those with back pain). Keep in mind while reading that Better Health Innovations carries the EP-960, but not the Contour L5.

Feature Comparison

The two inversion tables share the same bed design, foot clamping, and tether, which are critical parts of an inversion table. So, back and foot comfort will be identical on either table. In addition, operation of both tables is identical.

The L5 has a unique mechanism where the rotational speed (basically an adjustment for the center of gravity) of the table can be set with a dial. On the EP-960, this must be set by removing the bed from the frame. While this may seem important, the rotational speed setting is typically only set twice during the life of the table. Having dealt with thousands of inversion table customers, and having used inversion tables ourselves, we have found that this is set once when the table is set up and maybe one more time once the user gets used to inversion (by speeding up the rotational adjustment).

The L5 sports a different frame design with a more curved look. We will leave it up to you on the attractiveness of the table vs. the EP-960. We have not had experience folding the L5, and we are not sure if the leg design would effect storage. The EP-960 folds up very well. Both tables accept the accessories that came out for the 60 series earlier this year.

Warranty is the same for both tables – 5 years on everything. I am absolutely sure that the L5 has comparable quality to the EP-960 and other Teeter inversion tables. Teeter doesn’t mess around with quality, and I have never seen a poorly design table from them. Both tables carry the UL Mark and have passed UL certification testing.

Looking at the manual for the L5, assembly appears to be pretty much the same with the same components being pre-assembled (such as the frame and mainshaft)

Strangely, I cannot find any statements for money back if the table does not work for you. With the EP series, Teeter offers a 30 day money back, allowing you to use the table for that period and return it used for a full refund.

Conclusion

So, which is the best inversion table? Whether the rotation adjustment improvement and the leg design warrants a price tag $100 to $179 higher than the EP-960 is debatable. Currently (subject to change with time), the EP-960 price is $399, which includes a 110% price guarantee. Advertisements for the L5 indicate a $499 to $579 price tag. If money were no object, you may consider it, but even so, with the L5 it appears there is not a trial period and the BHI Inversion Coaching Program is not available. From that perspective, you are actually getting less value for more money. Based on this, I very much recommend the EP-960.

How To Adjust a Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table

August 21, 2013 By Steven Kirchhof

We get a fair number of questions about how a Teeter inversion table is adjusted for height. With Nadia joining us for the summer as an Intern in our video production department, we thought that is would be a great opportunity to show how a table is adjusted. Nadia is 5’5″ tall and I am 6’7″. As you can see in the video, adjustment is very easy and fast.

The model used is a Teeter Hang Ups EP-960, which can be purchased on our Better Health Innovations site. Click here for more information or to order on Amazon.

Back Pain Solution: How To Use An Inversion Table Correctly

January 31, 2013 By Steven Kirchhof

Solving back pain! In this video, I discuss the importance of having someone who knows what they are doing coach you through your inversion therapy experience.

Because most people do not hang upside down prior to getting an inversion table, we strongly recommend doing it with someone who has. Our Inversion Coaching Program, gives you just that; a person you can contact by phone or email to answer questions and help you through the first 90 days of your inversion experience. Watch the video for details!

TRANSCRIPT:

Believe me, I know, you just want to get rid of your back pain, been through it myself. I have relatives, including my wife, who have been through it. Severe back pain to the point where you just can’t function, you can’t play with the kids, you have trouble doing basic things at work, basic things at home. You stand up for too long, your back hurts. You sit down for too long, your back hurts. You lay down for too long, your back hurts. There’s little doubt at this point that inversion therapy definitely can help a lot of people with back pain. The simple act of hanging upside down for a few minutes a day has helped out thousands and thousands and thousands of people.

When you buy an inversion table, you might be a little bit overwhelmed about how to use it, how to put it together, even where to store it, how often should it be used, and for how long should you be using your inversion table? Do you hang on it for an hour? The answer’s no. Do you hang on it for an hour? Do you hang on it for a few minutes? Is it better to do it in the evening and in the morning or just one shot sometime in the middle of the day? There are an awful lot of questions when it comes to using inversion therapy. A couple of years ago, we launched an extremely successful program called Inversion Coaching. When you purchase an inversion table from betterhealthinnovations.com, a Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table from us, you receive the services of an inversion coach, an actual person who will coach you through the inversion process. As part of this, you receive assembly instructions and receive information right up front before you even receive your table. The coach will walk you through based on your pace, using that inversion table. You get that inversion coach’s personal email address and you get that inversion coach’s personal phone number here in our offices, so whenever you have a question about inversion, you can certainly just give that person a call. You have an actual person’s name.

A little disclaimer here, we’re not doctors. We can’t provide any sort of medical advice to somebody using an inversion table or somebody who is looking for a back pain solution. We can coach in the mechanics of using an inversion table. What, in our experiences, either personal experiences or experiences in working with thousands of other customers, what, in our experiences, has worked the best for inversion table users.

I really encourage you, before running out and buying an inversion table, consider Better Health Innovations, consider our longstanding Inversion Coaching Program, so that you get a well-trained person, who knows how to use an inversion table, along with you as you start out. We launch this program, and it will last for 90 days, but certainly on the 120th day you can still call your inversion coach. When we launch this program, it will last for 90 days, to get the person up and running. We also have a 90 day trial period, so within that 90 days, if inversion isn’t working out for you and it does happen on some occasions, where for whatever reason, either you’re not using the table or it’s causing another issue or whatever, if you want to return that Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table with us, unlike virtually anybody else that I’ve ever seen, with us you can return that for a full 90 days and you get all your money back. We don’t charge a restocking fee. We don’t try to reclaim the original shipping cost or anything like that. You contact us first, obviously, and then you ship it back to us and you receive a full refund from that, so the 90 day trial program coupled with the Inversion Coaching Program, it’s done very well for us and it’s done very well for thousands of our customers.

If you have any questions whatsoever about the program, about inversion in general, you can watch our other videos. We have several up about Teeter Hang Ups and about hanging upside down and inversion therapy. If you have any other questions, certainly leave them down there in the comments below. Definitely recommend that you subscribe to this channel as well, as every once in a while we will pop out another video about inversion therapy and other things that can help you out. Until then, take care everybody and have a great day.
