...and I am NOT impressed! I expected it to be a lot nicer for $40!!!

F1mom · 03-27-09, 03:29 PM

Details. What don't you like about it?

fit44 · 03-27-09, 05:07 PM

I received mine today too.
It's ok. I like the shape of it, but it's not what I expected. It's very light weight and somewhat flimsy material.
I guess it's suppose to be light weight.

I do think it's overpriced.

Very poor quality IMO. The metal is flimsy and light. The foam seems like it could tear easily. There is like NO weight to it at all. I could have saved the money and used a stick or broom! Sure the shape is nice, but I would have rather saved the $ and improvise a bit.

Is there any way you can send it back?

Thanks for giving us your opinions, and I'm sorry you're not happy with it. I think I'll just stick with my Swiffer handle!

aww Adrien *hug*
That's really sucky.I mean, i knew that she would probably NOT have it weighted because she didn't want weighted stuff, but I would have thought better quality to the"light" pole". does the curve thing at least make a difference?

Thanks for the heads up, VFers. I was already chafing at paying $15 for the Squeeze Down rotation and I'm still on the fence about that, but $40 for a stick when I can use my broom or Swiffer handle (thanks for that idea, Raphig!). Yeow!

This is a bummer. Sorry to hear about your experience Adrien. I had wanted to preorder it at Christmas but ran out of money. I guess I'll count myself lucky. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Which Squeeze DVD uses the bar? I have one from Escape Your Shape; and, as Lucky Star mentioned, it's the same device - just purple instead of red.
