Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Panana Ab Machine is a foldable core trainer with a sliding knee carriage, five frame-height settings and an LCD counter, finished in black at £39.99. It is number 9 in this guide, and it is the cheapest of the four listings here that carry a 440 lb maximum weight recommendation — the same figure quoted on machines costing up to £155.47, in a group where the price varies 3.9x. None of the Panana's own five bullets mentions a weight limit at all; the 440 lb (200 kg) figure sits only in the specification field, with no explanation of how it was arrived at.
The rating numbers on this listing do not agree with each other. The customer reviews field says 4.3 out of 5 from 40 ratings. The histogram behind that score adds up to 100 ratings: 8 one-star, 3 two-star, 6 three-star, 17 four-star and 66 five-star. One of those two figures is wrong, and the listing gives no way of telling which. Everything on this page is read from the Amazon listing as it stands, not from a test of our own.
