 Not for the overweight October 16, 2008
I am overweight, and I could not use this. Because my legs are fat, and the ankle cradles are too close together, this put a lot of pressure on the outer bones of my ankles, even though I wore very thick socks, rolled over several times. (To the developers - did it never occur to you to use padded ankle cradles instead of hard plastic???) I tried putting a pillow on top of the cradles, but then my feet kept slipping off. And the hip swivel disk was useless. I agree with the other reviewer who said the ankle cradles must have been designed for small Asian women and not overweight Americans. I bought the unit *because* I'm overweight and have trouble with mobility. I can't walk enough to get a good aerobic workout without having major back and foot pain. Anyway, sad to say, I now have to send this back. I will have to pay for shipping both ways (and it weighs 15 pounds, so that's expensive) and a 15% restocking fee - so I will only get about half of my hundred bucks back, after having used it once for about two minutes, which resulted in excruciating pain in my ankles. So again, if you are overweight, please don't waste your money on this product. It might be fine for normal weight people, but for heavy people it is worthless, unless maybe if you're top heavy with thin legs.
Sunpentown Chi Swing Okay after 1 Day June 28, 2008

I started using this Chi swing machine today in hopes that it helps my lymphedema. I researched several and settled on this Sunpentown model. Others cost way more than I wanted to spend, $[...]. This was around $[...]. I'm a little leery, especially because I haven't read anything that says that it will help lower-extremity lymphedema, which is why I bought it, but what little research I've done suggests that it gets the legs moving at a decent enough pace that I think it should help the lymph nodes drain. So I'm hopeful.
The machine is more robust than what I thought it would be. It's actually <[...]>Read the rest of the review here.

I have had the abillity to try other models and have found that this one was the worst. The ankle cradle is hardly sized for adults and painful to use without adding socks and/or padding to the cradle. The speeds are okay in comparison but the swing disk you sit on is not comfortable at all. I recieved this one as a gift and after checking on returning it I see it has no guarantee and a restock fee for the product. So they don't really back what they sell. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I think the healthy swinger lives up to its advertised claims and could actually brag a little more about its benefits. I use it 2-3 times a day to get temporary relief from arthritic stiffness and pain in my hips. It gives me more hip mobility than some of my physical therapy exercises without injuring me. My muscles are less achy. When I want to relax, I put it on a slow setting and let it gently rock me back and forth. When I want to be energized, I use the automatic setting which is delightfully envigorating.
I favored this product because of the disc. With my arthritic hips I thought I might need the extra comfort. I was right. It takes some of the strain off my hips as they move.
I also thought the price was marvelous after having seen how expensive some of the other offerings were.
Initially, there was discomfort to my ankles. Using some of the suggestions I had seen in other reviews, I tried thick socks and other cushions. However, what works best for me is to simply and slightly correct my body's alignment so that my ankles are resting perfectly straight in the plastic ankle cradles.
Of course, this is a simply product. You lie down, put your ankles in the cradle and turn it on. However, there are those of us who read the directions and try to carefully follow them, regardless. And, this is the only real complaint I have about the product. I couldn't understand clearly what was being communicated in some of the instuctions. For instance, it indicates that for arthritis, one should (among other things) raise one's hip off the floor. There is a diagram with a lady lying without a disc on the floor; ankles in cradle. Was this the time to use the disc? It didn't say so and the diagram didn't include the disc. So I tried to raise my hips off the floor without the disc. It works better to use the disc, so I do. Also, there is a fish movement demonstrated where it is written, "hold your fingers tightly and deep arms to the side of the legs". For weeks, I have been trying to determine what is meant by "deep arms". Today, I am thinking it is a typo. But, these minor setbacks haven't kept me from loving my healthy swinger. I want to always keep one of these in my house.
Perfectly satisfactory machine February 26, 2008

Due to the loan of a Sun Ancon Chi machine, we could make a direct comparison with that machine. The Supentown is a little bit noisier, but not objectionably so. The side-to-side motion is the same in distance. The motion of the Supentown has a little vertical motion; not noticeable or good or bad in real use. The maximum speed is very slightly (3%) slower than that of the Sun Ancon machine, again not a speed difference that is noticeable in use. No experience yet with the variety of speeds available in the Supentown. The overall quality of build is similar for the two; perhaps the Sun Ancon feels a little more rugged, but not in proportion to the price or in a way that gives a lack of confidence in the Supentown.
Bottom line: this machine delivers the desired effect at a very good price, leaving no sense that more expensive alternatives would lead to a better result.
We use the machine with a (baby's) wool 'pelt' laid over the moving element to cushion the legs. Makes it look and feel like a friendly oscillating sheep.
