The Innova ITM 4800 advanced heat and massage therapy inversion table is a very similar table in many respects to the lower priced Innova ITX 9600 (one of the best budget inversion tables currently available.)

The main difference with this table is the heat and vibration massage pad. In fact this feature is really the only reason you would opt for this inversion table over the ITX 9600.

If you have no interest in the heat and vibration massage pad we recommend you save some cash and have a look at the Innova ITX 9600 inversion table.

On the other hand if you are on the lookout for a fairly well priced inversion table that has heat and massage functions this is one of the best available!

Padded backrest and adjustable headrest:

The large and fairly wide padded backrest is a feature that is commonly found on many modern inversion tables and is always a nice feature that provides welcome comfort.

The adjustable headrest however is a less common feature.

The adjustable headrest is useful as it allows the user to customize the table a little more to their body length and comfort preference.

The footrest can also be adjusted in small increments also providing even more specification.

Pin Selector angle limiter:

If you wish to limit the angle at which you invert at on this inversion table you can use the pin selector device on the side of the table.

While this system is a little more rigid than the usual tether strap device, there are plenty of angles to choose from.

When using the Innova ITM4800 you have the choice of 5 angular increments as well as full 180 degree inversion.

The angle can be limited to either 15, 30, 45, 60 or 85 degrees. These can be selected by simply placing the selector rod into the corresponding slot.

There is also a 90 (180) degree slot on top of the device where you can place the pin if no restriction is desired.

Heat and vibration massage lumbar pad:

The real stand out feature is the lumbar pad with the heat and massage functions.

It is fairly common for heat and massage functions and pads on inversion tables to feel a little useless to some users.

On other models many will state how ineffective the heat was, or how weak the massage is. However on this model, many reviewers feel it is a very good feature.

The pad is powered by the mains and can be plugged into a wall socket to operate.

The wire for the pad is also fairly long so you don’t have to worry about setting the inversion table up near a power outlet.

The heat and massage pad is operated using a wired remote control which lets you choose between auto and manual settings.

Is the Innova ITM4800 heat and vibration massage Inversion table one of the best options?

The Innova ITM 4800 is a very good inversion table to consider, it has very positive reviews and the heat and massage pad is a great addition!

However before committing to this table be sure to take a look at the more advanced Innova ITM 5900 inversion table.

While the 5900 inversion table from Innova does cost a tiny bit extra, it is overall a better and slightly more advanced inversion table.

It also comes complete with a full spinal massage and heated lumbar pad which covers more of the spinal area compared the lumbar pad on this 4800 model.

The buyer reviews for this ITM4800 Innova inversion table are very positive overall and this is one of the most popular heat and massage inversion tables currently available.

It is also very well priced and one of the cheapest heat and massage inversion tables.

Overall we (and many others) feel the Innova ITM 4800 heat and massage therapy inversion table is a very good table to consider.

However, due to the pricing of the Innova ITM5900 often being similar to this model, the ITM4800 is overshadowed somewhat.

If you are prepared to spend a little extra we would recommend you opt for the ITM 5900 over this model.

The Innova ITX9600 inversion table may not immediately stand out to you due to its fairly conservative design.

However, you only need to take a look at the buyer reviews in the next tab, to see that it is considered a good quality table at a low price.

You will also likely be surprised at just how many have left a review for this very popular table.

The Innova ITX9600 is able to hold a maximum weight capacity of 300 lbs and is suitable for users between the heights of 4 ft 10 in – 6 ft 6 in.

One of the main highlights of this table is how adjustable it is, it also has a great inversion limiting device that we will take a look at below.

Padded backrest and adjustable headrest:

A comfortable padded backrest is a fairly common feature on inversion tables these days, however the addition of an adjustable headrest is something rarely found!

The adjust-ability of this inversion table is (as mentioned earlier) one of the best things about this particular table.

As with all inversion tables can you control the height of the table to match your specific measurements.

However, the Innova ITX-9600 also allows you to adjust the headrest and the footrest, to ensure you can easily find the true center of gravity no matter what your body proportions are.

As you can see in the image to the right, all 3 of the adjustable features are labelled.

You will also notice that the image states the majority of inversion tables only feature one adjustable feature (user height).

If you have ever tried using an inversion table that is set at the wrong height for your body proportions. You will know how much harder it can be to invert.

With this table you can really dial in on the adjustments to make inversion completely effortless.

6 position pin system for angle limitation:

Rather than opting for the tether strap system found on so many inversion tables, the Innova ITX 9600 inversion table features this great looking pin system.

While there isn’t a huge advantage to having a pin system over a tether strap. A pin system is likely to be a little less hassle to use and adjust.

Also due to the pin system being a more ridged inversion angle restriction device, you can quickly get a good idea of what inversion angles are more preferable to you.

As you can see in the image, the pin system allows the user to invert up to the angles of 15, 30, 45, 60 or 85 degrees.

To adjust the angle you simply pull out the circular pin and place it within another selection hole.

If you decide you do not require any angle limitation, you can simply remove the pin from the side selectors and place it in the 90 degree selector at the top of the device. Thus allowing for complete unrestricted inversion!

Angle limitation is a great idea for inexperienced inversion users to gradually built up confidence on a table. It is also very useful if you are not a fan of inverting fully!

If you are quite unfamiliar with inversion angle limitation devices found on inversion tables, you can take a look at our features page here where we take a look at each in a little more detail.

Reversible ankle system:

The ankle system on the Innova ITX 9600 is fairly standard in design, although you can reverse it to suit your preference.

The ankle system features molded cup holders on one side and foam rollers on the opposite.

The majority of inversion tables tend to have the molded cups positioned at the back to support the back of the ankles. However if you prefer you can adjust the supports so the rollers are positioned at the back.

For most this probably will not be a feature that is particularly worthwhile. Although some may have a preference after they experiment with both settings.

To secure the ankles in place this inversion table has a fairly standard spring pin adjuster.

Other features and quick specs:

Aside from the fairly long side handles which are useful for when returning to the upright position there are no other notable features to mention.

• Max weight capacity: 300 lbs
• User height adjustment: 4’10” – 6’6″
• Dimensions: 52 x 28 x 59″
• Item Weight: 54 lbs
• Assembly required
• Folding design
• Padded backrest
• Ergonomic reversible ankle supports
• Adjustable headrest and footrest
• Pin inversion angle limiter (15, 30, 45, 60, 85 degrees)
• Long side safety handles

Is the Innova ITX9600 A worthwhile choice?

As you now know this rather simple looking inversion table actually possesses some very useful features.

These additional features alone make this inversion table from Innova an excellent choice!

In addition to this the low price is also a perfect reason to consider this table.

If you are on a budget this is an especially good inversion table to choose.

It is also a great entry level inversion table for those who may not know if inversion is right for them, since it is often available for half the price of other inversion tables on the market.

The buyer reviews for this table are mostly exceptional, and there are a lot of them to go on. You can take a look at them all in the next tab or on visiting the retailer.
