***Video: 43 Bathmate HydroXtreme 7 Review***
In this video, I gave my honest first initial review of the Bathmate HydroXtreme 7. And to be frank, while I know this will be a great PE tool, I don't think it's a nessicary one that I need to have. While I'm still a massive fan of the Bathmate, especially with the gains it's helped me get and the overall fun I have using it.
The $300 price tag for what amounts to a ball handle, hose, a different release valve system, and a fancy leather bag. It isn't really worth it in my opinion. That said, I will still use it because it gives me an edge over my regular Bathmate 7, and the quality of this pump appears to be better. One thing is for certain this might push me ever so closer to using the Bathmate 9 because of how easily I get close to maxing out this pump due to the extra psi I get from the ball handle.
My opinion is subject to change as I continue to use the pump throughout time, but initially, I don't know if $300 is a good price. That being said. I think the Xtreme brand of the Bathmate line seems to be more targeted at those who are more experienced with pumping. I recommend that if you're new to pumping or PE in general. Then you should start off with the basic Bathmate, then move up to the Hydro series. And then after a year or so, the Xtreme series. Will you be spending more money over that period of time? Yes. But in my opinion that would be the fastest route to take as you gain experience.
Think of it this way. If you're new to driving it would be insane for you to start off driving an eight hundred horsepower car that does well over two hundred miles an hour. So instead, learn in a Honda Civic, then once you're experienced, move up to a four hundred horsepower car. And even with that new car, you need to understand how to handle that power, how to understand the limitations of that car, and your own skill. And once you've mastered that, then it's time to go balls to the wall.
That analogy is the same when it comes to these pumps.
