This was a covid buy for me. My old house had low ceilings, the tent-style saunas didn't exist yet, and I needed one that plugged into a standard wall socket. This thing takes up a ton of floor space, but it's low to the ground and gets plenty hot! The electrical panel shorted out after ~2 years and the company sent me a new one without much fuss. It's overpriced today compared to what else has come on the market and I eventually swapped to a SaunaBox Pulse after my kids stepped on and broke my second control unit.

Box squats, step-ups, landmine jack, stool, ipad table when I'm rowing. I like to throw it on the end of my bench and use it for wrist curls and wrist extensions. This thing is lightweight and so easy to move around that it doesn't feel like it takes up any space. I use it a ton.

Doesn't take up a lot of space. I like that the pinch grips are slightly offset (more comfortable than a traditional guillotine style machine) and you can do different styles of pinch on it - flat w/thumbs on bottom (thumb close), flat w/thumbs on top (finger close), round squeeze. I'll usually leave it loaded for one of those for a week or two and bang out 10-20 reps when I walk past it. Then swap weights/rotate it to the other side for a week or two. I'll probably play around with 3d printing some ergo ledges for the back flat side (I usually pinch the sides like a sandwich right now).

I watched a bunch of negative YT reviews before buying this thing, but they all mostly centered on the weight horns being hard to load. I solved that by leaving off the weight horns. 4 plates is about as heavy as I want to load it this way, but it's been a good attachment for ~2 years. I'm about to move up to a smith machine and will probably get rid of it. I think it does 4 movements very well (assuming 180lbs or lower is good enough): good morning, forward facing sumo-ish squats, rear facing hack-ish squats, viking press. You *could* do RDLs or rows or cleans on it if you have a narrower frame, but I don't think it's better than a barbell for those -and- the handles are placed a little narrow for me.

I have two each of the 3"/4" square, the 2"/5" square, the globes, and the 2 3/8" round. Need to pick up a set of the 2" handles. I'll max them out single or double-handed occasionally just to test, but my favorite way to train these is just hanging them by bands off my rack and doing holds for time (you can ease up if your grip starts slipping).
