Teeter FitSpine LX9 Inversion Table vs Teeter FitSpine X3 Inversion Table
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Inversion Tables: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The LX9 adds an arched frame with a raised boarding platform and is the one to buy if your budget reaches premium. The X3 gives up little that matters, since you keep the same Deluxe EZ-Reach ankle lock, which makes it the smarter buy for most people.
