DONOW Smith Machine, Power Rack Squat Rack Power Cage Home Gym System with LAT-Pull Down System Chest Station Landmine for Home Gym 2000lbs New Version

I've had this for a couple months now and I'm really digging it. I'm nearing 50 and I wanted a way to get back into some light lifting without worrying about failing a rep and strangling myself. The boxes arrived kind of beat to hell but nothing inside was damaged. It took me about 4 hours to put it together myself. Everything lined up, all the holes were drilled correctly, no problems there. The instructions were sufficient and all the nuts and bolts were labeled which I'm always grateful for. Other than that, I've enjoyed using the machine. The cables have held up fine and honestly I have no complaints.

First off, the machine was relatively easy to put together. I put it together by myself in about 2 hours. Instructions were straightforward from booklet and visually from YouTube video. All the parts were labeled and easily identified. After it was built, workouts have been easy to transition from smith machine to lat pulls to low rows to semi crossovers, where you can isolate one arm and focus on the movement with each arm. So far just started with workouts, but also easy to handle multiple people once workouts are completed for unloading and loading different weights for different needs. With up to 600lbs on Smith and 400lbs on pulley system, you won't need more weight, if you can get up to that much to begin with. Very solid machine so far for the entire family to use. I looked around for weeks and this is by far a better value than paying 4 to 5 times more for other systems.

The machine was very easy to put together and is great quality. All the parts work smoothly, and when a piece was accidentally broken in the process of putting it together, the seller quickly shipped out replacement parts. 10/10 machine and customer service. Would highly recommend this product to everyone interested.

Giving its price, the product has very good quality with many features. The seller’s customer service is just too good. They solve my issues very quickly. And they respond to my questions within just a couple hours. I highly recommend this seller.

Brackets on pulldown and rows could be better made for angles. Corners need brackets to help stabilize it and could be 4 to 6 inches taller. But I'll make it work.

You have to apply some weight to the back of the equipment to use properly. Other than that, the movement is sound and the equipment is nice

5 stars for seller sending me another part that got bent during shipping
