PX All-In-One Power Smith

Bon produit qualité prix

I bought the PX All-In-One Power Smith (w/o pulley weight stacks) during a sale for $1599. After tax and shipping it came out to around $1950 (I live in British Columbia).

Pros:

- Pretty solid construction, it's what you would expect

- Lots of pulley attachments included

- Cheapest price I could find

Cons:

- The smith bar counter weights weren't welded on the bottom correctly and both were leaking what I assume is iron dust in the box? Luckily it wasn't too much and I used a hot glue gun to fill in the hole. This should definitely have been spotted in quality control.

- Poorly written instruction manual. Difficult to understand what piece goes where when there's hundreds when you first open the boxes. Took me around 8 hours to put together, tighten and lube everything.

- Frame is less stable with side to side movement, particularly when using the smith bar and readjusting the frame can vibrate.

- The black plastic end caps of the tubes pop out too easily from sliding plates on/off. I've had to continuously slap them back in which can be annoying.

Overall, if you're looking for value per dollar and want a machine with a smith bar and two pulleys this machine on sale is pretty hard to beat. If you're particular about quality or are lifting very heavy, you might want to invest in something a bit more premium.
