UNITREE PUMPPro Exercise Equipment Cable Machine Home Gym

The Unitrree Pump Pro provides smooth, easy-to-change resistance in an easy-to-use, well-made, relatively inexpensive device. It's also compact, lightweight and looks cool.I think it's great as a supplement to, or replacement for, elastic bands if you prefer resistance you can set precisely and that can remain constant throughout the entire range of motion (rather than starting out low at the beginning and getting higher as you stretch the band). Like bands, you can also use it while traveling. It's also good as a stop-gap if you would like a full-fledged magnetic-resistance functional trainer like Tonal or Vitruvian but are waiting for the next generation of products with lower prices when competition increases.I use the device primarily for rehab/prehab upper-body exercises like external shoulder rotations, shoulder raises and wood chops that are somewhat awkward to do with free weights. It also works well for curls and other exercises that don't require more than its 44 lb. of resistance. I'm very impressed at how well it works for these. However, it's not a replacement for a room-full of free weights (I still use those) or a functional trainer. If that's what you expect, you may be disappointed.The key feature for me is quality of resistance. The resistance is quite smooth though not quite as smooth as a Tonal, as I recall from doing a demo on the Tonal more than a year ago. It's constant resistance (with a few modes that change that) like Tonal or other magnetic-resistance machines and doesn't have the inertial acceleration of free weights. I prefer the feel of free weights but have gotten used to constant resistance and find it very effective at increasing strength. Constant resistance also provides more resistance than free weights due to the lack of inertia, so 44 lbs. on this device feels like more than 44 lbs. of resistance from free weights (presumably due to more time under tension at full resistance).The device makes a whirring sound when the pull-strap moves in an out, similar to some rowing machines. It's not particularly loud and doesn't block out music or TV sound, but I find that it detracts a bit from the exercise experience, though not enough to be a show-stopper. The other thing I found slightly annoying was that you have this somewhat heavy 1.5 lb. device hanging from a strap while you exercise. It doesn't impair functionality but, like the whirring sound, I think it does detract a bit from the exercise experience. It would be nice if there was a cage that allowed you to mount it firmly on a power rack or wall without the use of an anchor strap.A second key feature is ease of use. The device is very easy to use. It turns on with either a double press of the on button or a quick pull of the handle. It requires a phone app to change weight and access other controls. I would have preferred the controls to be on the device itself or on a dedicated remote control. However, the iPhone app was easy to set up, pair to the device, and use. Changing weight requires waking your phone (if it's gone to sleep) and moving a slider--a few seconds including the time to get to your phone if it's not next to you while you're exercising.The quality of the device and accessories is outstanding. The device itself feels solid and looks like it was designed in a high-end design studio. The thought that went into design details and functionality is particularly impressive. You can anchor the device with a door anchor or loop anchor that fits over a pole or peg or chair leg (both included) or a suction cup (not included). They all attach using a twist-on rod that's quick and easy to use and much neater than a D-ring and carabiner. The included 30mm (1.2 inch) diameter silicone-wrapped ribbed handle with nylon straps is the best strap-type handle I've used apart from knurled steel ones.I won't detail all the thoughtful design choices that went into the device but I'll give one small, surprising and impressive example. When I first got the device I went to charge it and noticed that it had a USB-C to USB-C charging cable. My usual charger for miscellaneous devices like this is a USB-A charger, so I started trying to remember where I had left the USB-C to USB-C charger for my iPad. Then I looked at the cable more closely and noticed that it was actually a USB-C to USB-A cord to which they had thoughtfully added a USB-A to USB-C adapter. Think about how many times you have used products where the manufacturer put thought into a little detail like that that when it wasn't a selling point and would only make the user's life easier. They actually spent money to do that instead of cutting corners by reducing quality or features to reduce manufacturing costs.

First off, this feels more than 44lbs of resistance, and the convenience and versatality of it is incredible, especially if you travel, it's somewhat necessary to buy two if your more intermediate with El giminisaso.

Pretty decent little tool for a good workout in a pinch or quick pump. Would be great if it offered a higher weight but still cool. 4 stars only because of the lack of lock in anchor options. I just want a simple carabiner lock I can hook up to an anchor point.

I was an original backer on KickStarter, got the two units in November 2022 and it worked as advertised, but I didn't really incorporate the units into my workouts till recently. So after about two months of active use these are my findings1) the units aern't always smooth; it will slip a bit, or the resistance will change slightly for a second, on like 5% of the pulls. Not a dealbreaker to me but just be aware2) My workouts are in the 20-44 pound range, and I barely get 30 minutes run time (standard mode). This is true for both3) Lately (mind you after only about two months of true use 3 times a week for about two months) one of the unit decides it will no longer respond to commands - the app says it is connected, I hear the connecting beep, but it doesn't allow me to change resistance level or length. I shut it off manually but that doesn't fix it. Next day it works fine. This has happen twice already.4) I have an inquiry to Customer support, took four days to respond. Send a reply, on my second day still waiting...Sorry, I need something that is going to work reliably. Looking into a real functional trainer or even just cable/pulley system. I really wanted this to work.

This is GREAT for anyone wanting to get a good work out but doesn't want to spend a fortune and space on a full "gym" or set of weights.EVEN BETTER is this work out is all in a box with a carry bag which makes this kit perfect for the traveler. Never miss a work out.This convenience is also what makes it easy to use this box anywhere. I have used this on my work out bench, living room using my feet to hold the anchor strap, my backyard, anywhere you can place the anchors and you are set. There is door anchor that is placed between the door and the door frame too that helps in that versatility and a strap anchor to be held by your feet or wrapped around a sturdy furniture leg or the like.You can use this with or without the AP. BUT you REALLY NEED THE AP to get the most use of this kit. Without the AP you are just wasting your money, just use the AP it is FREE (i.e. "included" with the box, you just need to download it).The AP is what makes this work out kit ROCK!With the AP >- You can free style your own work out and adjust the "weight" (resistances) from about 4lbs up to 44lbs.- Select a work out zone (upper body, Abs, butt, legs) under "plan" from beginner to advance, a 7 day weight lost program, and you can create custom work out plans too. It has a video showing how to perform the each exercise.- There is a door and a strap anchor included along with a comfortable ankle strap and a pull strap. All good quality and strong straps. Easy to hook them up and switch them out as needed.- The resistances is spot on, I have been using this working a different zone each day (allowing the worked out zone to recoup and rest at least a day) and my muscles are feeling it. The work outs are simple and short (about 20 minutes) to get you started. You can lengthen the work out as you need.- the AP makes working out motivating and fun. Even my 8 year old daughter is jumping into the fun, which brings up the next cool thing....-The resistance is pre-set per each work out program and exercise, so as you get tired the resistance does not get easier. BUT you can CHANGE the workout level resistance level before you begin. So if work out is too hard or easy just select level and adjust the percentage, so harder for me and easier for my 8 year old but still a good work out for both of us. The AP will remember your last setting.- The video will automatically stop/pause and start with your work out. If you take too long to start the next exercise the video will pause, to restart just pull the cord or push play on the AP and the video and counting will continue.- You can skip or replay an exercise if needed by scrolling and then selecting the next exercise on the work out menu.- Don't want a full work out plan then you can customize your own work out actions from the custom plan tab under the Plan menu. Select an action and then you can edit the action adding weight and/or reps.- The AP will count you reps! No more lost counts or need to count.Overall I would give this 10 stars if possible I am loving this kit! This is a must for anyone wanting to get a good work out. And specially for someone like me that needs a some motivation and simple and effective time efficient work outs.Highly recommend!!!And if you are still not sure, you can always download the AP before you buy this box to see the possibility.

It’s solid. But too heavy to be considered portable. Cant say much about the function , as I returned mine
