I've had one for a while and it works ok. I got it because it is too easy to skip working out when your spotter does not make it. It seems better than a regular machine where the weights are confined to a certain path of travel but it's not as good as free weights. My two biggest complaints is that it does not have enough weight and it costs too much. If I had it to do over again I'd save the money and look for a different or an addition friend to go to the gym with and stick to freeweights.
