Drone2 Smith△ Machine – All-in-One Home Gym Squat Rack with Weight Bar, Dual LAT Pull-Down Systems & Cable Crossover Machine

If you don’t want to waste your time reading: It’s an outstanding product. Highly recommend it for the price. Sturdy as a rock, has everything you need, great product support. If you want to read: Not a sponsored bot or low IQ so let me break it down for you Shipping: Shipping was quick for me. The seller messaged me all tracking numbers on the Amazon app for all 3 boxes which was helpful. The packaging of the product was well done, whoever packs these is a god at Tetris. Assembly: As expected it took a few hours but the instructions were easy to follow there’s a video too. Highly recommended having for assembly: impact drill with 9/16 socket bit, adjustable wrench, step ladder, and someone to hold things up. 2 of the pre install bolts on the bar for the smith machine required an impact drill to loosen. But no big deal just have a drill on hand in case. The product: the smith machine is super smooth. The cables are smooth too no issues (had they been designed with the same slider design as the smith this machine would be top tear). ZERO COMPLAINTS just making a suggestion. All the attachments included are great and provide you with everything you need. Super sturdy, for a product at this price expectations were low but seriously surprised with the design and sturdiness. NOTE TO REVIEWERS: don’t be a snob. Don’t be dumb. These companies don’t control the shipping or Amazon’s inability to do things, so don’t screw a product because you hate Amazon.

Well built machine. Quick shipping, but be aware the boxes come from various warehouses and may not arrive at the same time. This may hold up putting it together somewhat. In my case 2 boxes arrived the same day, but the third box arrived a few days later and it was the main frame parts. Had it arrived first i could've started putting things together since the other 2 boxes were parts that attach to the main frame of the machine and were not needed to start building. I think all together it was roughly a week to get it delivered. The packing was done well and the blisterpack for all the hardware is genuinely great. You see everything you need captured in the blisterpack and not just loose nuts and bolts in boxes, and there are alot of them. The powdercoat and general finish looked good. Everything fit together great and once I tightened all the bolts up it's rock solid. It's perfect for someone like me just wanting to be able to stay fit and maintain my middle-aged body. I'm not a powelifter but it has plenty of features to work out and stay toned up, and i feel I could put some major weight on this machine if I wanted. It's built well in my opinion and it's got everything I need and I don't have to go to the gym. It's easier to come home and hit the weights and then relax without the added step of a gym membership. It's easy to drive past the gym and not workout, but you're not driving past home so my motivation is greater in that regard since it's at the house and I find I'm working out more because of that convenience. I think most people, young to middle age would be ok with this machine.

All things considered, this is a good work out equipment. Had it about 2 weeks now and it has held up so far. Seems to be pretty sturdy and offers a lot of different workouts. I like that it came with a number of different accessories and for the price, that's good! Assembly took me more time that l thought but that's because it was just me. Instructions were pretty okay, added with YouTube videos. Only part that was challenging was unscrewing the bolt that came with the smith machine bar, had to go to Lowes to get some help. Only thing i'd say is I wish the weight holder for the cable didn't rub off against the rod so much, it's not a show stopper but it certainly seems to impact the flow and smoothness of cable work outs. All in all.... Money well spent!

I just put my Drone 2 together yesterday, by myself. It took about 5 hours. I was pretty meticulous. Overall, I give the assembly process a 4.9. I used the printed manual as well as the assembly video, which you can find on YouTube. I mainly used the video to see how a few things went together and for close-ups on a few things that were kind of hard to see in the manual. The packaging is impressive. It all comes in three heavy boxes - over 100lbs each. Every piece is very clearly labeled I have not yet gone through a workout yet, but I will say that I am impressed with the quality and solidness of the gym. The smith bar moves very smoothly, as do the cables. I was worried, coming from commercial equipment that it would feel a little flimsy, but it really doesn’t. You might notice in the picture that I didn’t install the weight storage horns on the back or the Major Fitness banner. I was trying to get it as close as possible to the wall to give myself more space in the front. I have a separate Olympic weight tree. Also didn’t want to block that window with the banner. Really looking forward to my first workout tomorrow!

This thing is the real deal. Its perfect as a starter and doesnt break the bank doing so. It took about 5 hours to assemble not to hard, great instructions.

Gut it at a great price for Black Friday. Have not set it up but major fitness sales good quality machines.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Price and versatility. This machine will have to grow on me until I get a chance to do a full workout on it. It took me roughly 3 to 4 hours to assemble with help 20% of the time. I was able to do most of it by myself. I did miss a few parts and had to go back and add them. The instructions are just ok, because the pictures and instructions are confusing. The most frustrating part was installing the pulley guards x 12. There were about 12 of them and each pulley nut had to be removed to put the guards on. OMG. I had the EXACT amount of nuts and bolts, so don't think you can drop one and find it later. You will come up short. The only extra hardware was washers. Make sure to use the correct hardware according to the instructions. The guage of the the metal could have been thicker, but it will work. I'm sure they probably have a more costly option, but I got a Father's Day discount, so this is what I got. The bench is the best part of the entire machine. The bench and padding are very solid and the paint is top notch. The handles, attachments and bonus gifts are cheesy at best. ZERO PADDING on the hand grips, so it hurts more than it helps. I'm glad I had commercial attachments already. Would I buy 🤔 this particular machine again? NO. Would I spend $1,000+ more from the same company for a taller, heavier guage machine with steel weight stacks on the sides? YES. I hope this helps in your decision making.
