Anybody on here got one? If so, how does a workout on it compare vs. dumbells & free weights? Any quality issues with the equipment?

Works great when you use it for something besides a clothes hanger, that's what mine has been transformed to.
I have the Ultimate Home Gym II, and felt great when I used it better than in years, just have gotten to sorry to use it any more.
Wife wants me to sell it if you are interested pm.

Honestly, I've got the Bowflex Powerpro and used it religously for a year and a half and quit because of a I injured my arm moving a gun safe to my second floor. I don't really know how to say this. It does a good job, and I was seeing improvements in my strength. I just wasn't seeing improvements in my physique even on a strict diet, and adding cardio. When my wife and I would go out of town to a hotel, I would use the hotel gym. I felt like I got a better workout using free weights and weighted machines. I'm not going to get rid of my bowflex, because I like the fact that it stores well, and weighs very little. I think you would see better results from other systems.
