I have one on my bedroom door. Do pullups all throughout the day.
I also like to flip upside down on it and do other random stuff..

I have one, I'm just afraid of breaking my doors when I use it. I have a dip/pullup station and pullups on it SUCKS, it hurts my grip too where I slip too easy with it and almost need gloves.
Hammer pullups are the most effective, I tend to feel better lat contraction with chins than pullups anyway.

I have the iron gym pullup bar that I can also do the wide grip and parallel grip pullups which I believe is the extreme version got for a good price and this thing helped my pullups like crazy mostly because I did them everyday alternating between different grip variations of it. It's also awesome for pushups; try doing decline pushups on it by putting your legs on a high chair and using this for pushups like 5x10 right after doing 4-5 sets of pullups feels great for off day exercising.
Basically stuck at 7-8 chinups before having the bar in my house and now do easily 15-17 chinups with about 50 pullups within 4-5 sets every off day and increasing... enough said
