Carmen Electra Pole Review

If you are a beginner then surely you have come across the Carmen Electra Pole. There are a couple

models but most commonly known are the Carmen Electra Professional Pole and The Peek A Boo Pole.

There are both good and bad qualities about this pole

and it really depends on how you intend to use this

pole when determining if it is truly a good or bad pole

for you.

If you are a light user and don’t plan to use this pole for

exercise purposes and you plan on using it as a “show”

pole then this pole could work for you. It is screwed

into a ceiling joist; however, the pole itself is of lower

quality metal, sporting plastic parts, and a wobbly

install – all things that indicate that the pole will not

last under heavy use.

Here is a great video I made comparing the Carmen Electra Pole to the X Pole and the sturdy affordable

no brand pole I have on this site:

To sum up my review shown in the video, this is what I found:

What I liked about the Carmen Electra Pole:

If screwed into the ceiling and made it more reliable, it wouldn’t be suitable to use at all if it wasn’t

screwed into the ceiling. On the flip side, it kills the portable and removable qualities of a dance pole

and that sucks, especially if you are renting and don’t plan to stay in your home for the long term.

I like that they made the chrome on the main pole parts of good quality, it won’t chip off and cut you

during use.

The price was low and great, can’t beat that!

It’s got Carmen Electra’s butt on the box. She is hot you have to admit and it sells! BUT don’t get sucked

in to the sexual ads, stick to your guns and get a pole that fits you and your needs best!

What I didn’t like about the Carmen Electra Pole:

Above is a picture of the plastic breaking away from tightening it with their enclosed wrench. There is

no way this pole could be installed multiple times without breaking and if it can, I would be shocked.

There are way too many plastic parts. Put bluntly, plastic breaks and it won’t last long term.

It won’t hold up to heavy or professional use and I feel that the word “professional” should be stripped

from their packaging …. It’s far from “professional”.

The joints are very unstable and could bend easily if used during to many pole spins that require lots of

centrifugal force or momentum. If you plan to learn pro pole spins and moves like the Butterfly,

Superman, or any other inverting trick, I would recommend that you find a better pole to use.

If you plan on using this for exercise, climbing, and especially SPINS - get a different pole.

I prefer a portable and removable pole and this pole is not that!

The metal construction is thin and very light, all good

quality poles are pretty heavy, right around 40lbs.

This pole doesn’t even weigh half that I bet!

The bearings didn’t turn as smoothly and I had to

push into my spins like you do when the pole is

static, only the Carmen Electra pole was in spinning

mode. Not a good sign that it will continue to turn

easily year after year.

Overall Thoughts:

Don’t go swinging on this pole and if you are a heavier gal wanting to use this pole for fitness, steer

clear!

It only costs about $20-$40 bucks more to get a good sturdy affordable pole dancing pole that will last a

long time.

A dance pole is an investment in your joy and health; you don’t want to go cheap!

I wouldn’t buy it for myself, the choice is yours.
