VANSWE Lat Pulldown Machine with AB crunch

I have had it for couple months love it.

I couldn't be HAPPIER with this lat machine. It's sturdy and well built and it does what it is supposed to do. Better yet, the CUSTOMER SERVICE replaced a faulty pulley wheel with no hesitation or questions. You can't beat doing business with folks like that. It's just a bit tricky assembling it but I'm 80 and managed to do it by myself. The only thing I may be doing differently is before each use, I spray the column that the weights slide up and down on with silicone spray. I figured silicone spray wouldn't harm the plastic slider. So far I've gotten lots of sore muscles from using this for exercises I couldn't do without it.

I sold my commercial gym quality lat / row machine just before my recent move to make space in the moving truck. Was on a budget to resurrect my home gym. Found this and figured I’d give it a try. It’s definitely not commercial gym quality. My biggest complaint is the actual weight mechanism that holds the plates, and the Olympic sleeves. There’s nothing to really hold the sleeves on when taking or putting on Olympic plates. They slide right off the standard size bars. So a bit inconvenient when loaded and unloading plates. Then comes the actual piece that slides up and down the vertical post. I wish there was more stabilizers inside to make a smother pull. It kinda grinds on the post. I added a decent amount of silicone spray to try and make it smoother… still a lot of grinding. Someone also mentioned how 2 of the pulley system posts have hardware that don’t include spacers… that’s true, but I added a couple spacers and haven’t experienced the wire slipping at all. Pretty easy fix. Regardless, for the price it’s pretty solid. Easy to put together, directions are pretty cut and dry, but clear enough to make it happen. The last bar included has nice spacing. I don’t mind the seat position as a proper lat pull down should have you in a slightly leaned back position. I’m 6ft and enjoy the layout. Overall, not bad! Great price point, will update after 6 months of heavy use!

This machine is great: a quick setup, smooth range of motion and it is pretty sturdy. Oh, and the best part: it’s not expensive !!!!!

Wow! I would give it 6 stars if I could ! The engineering is top notch. It was very easy to assemble with accurate drawings. The bolts, nuts and washers were put together, put in separate well marked bags and exactly matched the component details in the instructions. It works very well and doesn't shake while lifting.There is a substantial feel to the entire structure and at under 60 pounds, it is easy for one person to move around. You can put the weight end against a wall, considering you can step through it instead of having to go around the seat end to change weights. I highly recommend this machine to all ages and experience levels. It is hard to believe that it only cost $160 and all the red parts make it extra cool. I have been lifting weights for 44 years.
