2.0 out of 5 stars Functional, but many compromises, May 14, 2009

I decided to take a chance on this because the reviews were ok, and it's cheap. Well...it's a good try, but I think that in order to hit the sweetspot of attractive price and UPS shippable packaging, too many compromises had to be made.

Kind of flimsy: I weight about 190, and this thing flexes noticeably under my weight. I can see the pull bar bend as I put weight on it, and when I do dips, the whole thing gets rocking. At no time does it feel like it's going to tip over, but it definitely flexes in use.

Ergonomic nightmare: I'm 6' tall, and for me, the back pad is way too low. When doing pullups, at full extension, the horizontal arms are touching my armpits- it's too narrow. When I do dips, if I'm not careful, I will hit my head on the pullup bar. I understand now why MOST pullup/dip stations place the pullup bar on the other side of the tower. It takes up more room, but it would make a MUCH more useable apparatus.

I think the photos they use are either photoshopped, or they found the tiniest models they could to make the device appear roomy. It isn't.

$200 isn't a lot of money, so I don't feel 'burned' or ripped off...I just wish now that I had built something myself instead.

Look for mine on Craigslist real soon!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pwerline Knee Raise, May 22, 2007

Powerline Station is a nice piece of equipment. The instructions to put it together are terrible. The worst I have ever seen. It was almost a two hour ordeal in order to get it all together. But once it was all together I really like using The Powerling Dip Station and recommend it for the price and construction.

This review is from: Powerline PVKC83X Vertical Knee Raise Chin Dip Machine (Sports)

My order was fulfilled by Bayou and arrived sooner than expected. The plastic bag that holds the bolts and washers was ripped, so the hardware was strewn all over the box. As mentioned by other reviewers, the assembly instructions are limited to a schematic. Although the footprint of this station is really small, it works for me because I am only 5' 7". Initially I did bump my head on the pull up bar while doing dips. Also,the distance between the inside edges of the two arm pads is only about 18 inches. So, I think anyone taller than me will find that this unit is cramped and that the pull up bar on the same side as the dip station is not ideal. Also, the diameter of all the grips are narrow and not as comfortable as the grips on my Body-Solid home gym. If you do buy one and have difficulty sliding the foam grips into the push up bars, apply soapy water to the bar and the inside of the grips and they will slide in fairly easily.
