Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

What I purchased vs what I received are two different things. What I purchased was the Gold's Gym XRS 50. What I received was a Weider XRS 50. Whether these two machines differ in exercise, range of motion, ease of weight/exercise switching, how smooth the pulleys/weights are and stability, I haven't the slightest idea. As I did not receive my expected purchase and it's too much of a hassle to dis-assemble and package for return (restocking fee???), I rate this 1 star. What I will offer is a review for the Weider XRS 50. -Even for beginners, i would advise to stay away. Yes, it comes with an approx. 100lbs weight stack. HOWEVER, the weights are of "high quality" plastic filled with sand(?). -Yes, i received all the parts necessary BUT some parts of the eye-loops for bolt installation were bent -Yes, the weights are easily adjustable BUT, depending on which pulley is activated, the weight difference between each "weight brick" is too high. It can jump from anywhere between 11lbs to 20+ lbs. PLUS, the weight deltas aren't even consistent as you move down the weight stack (more of a problem for a beginner). -Yes, this machine is compact BUT you will not be able to get a full range of motion per exercise. The ceiling for the guide rails (sliding weights) are too low. this machine will literally prevent you from a full contraction and extension/stretch. -Yes, this machine is set up so multiple exercises can be performed BUT you can seriously injure yourself or anyone else that may be around. When using the "low pulley" (bicep curls, upright rows, modified dead lift, bent over back row, etc) on slightly higher weights (still within the weight stack provided), the MACHINE WILL TIP BACK. I'm literally lifting the machine from the front -__- annnnndddddddddd It's wobbly. This machine does however come with a lat handle bar, a single grip handle, a chain link extension and a couple of carabiners. I'm an avid gym goer and have been for over 10 years. Id thought I would finally start on my home gym (no better time than a pandemic, I'd say) and decided to purchase this set. Even for people that are just starting out, I'd recommend giving any machine a test run before buying. If nothing else, a full range of motion is VITAL. Thanks for the bait and switch and almost killing me in the process.
