RitFit Smith Machine Power Rack with LAT-Pull Down System, Landmine, Barbell Bar, Plate Storage Pegs

Good price for a dependable machine!
I Got the 2 boxes and box with collars in a timely manner. I contacted Ritfit and they were very quick to reply and very friendly as well as professional. I watched a YouTube video to put it together, which I recommend.It fits nicely in my mancave. I can move the foot rests for rowing and move my bench in for incline Bench. I had read where that could not be done, but it works. Then put the easily to take off and put back on feet rests. I can a complete body workout with no problem.The only thing I did not care for was the small tube of oil for bearings, it had leaked out. Before using. I will get some for the future. It the bar slides smoothly and very little noise.If you want a way to workout at home without the hassle of going to a gym this is for you. Less wasted time and easier to do right there at home! Quality of the equipment is very sturdy for my needs. Highly recommend this product.I had ordered some extra accessories such as a v-shaped tricep handle and v-shaped row handle. But it has been about 2 months with no reply saying I would get email when they were sending it, so I cancelled that order. Everything else was great!

Great product but slightly tricky instructions
The machine shipped a couple of days after I placed the order and arrived in multiple boxes over three days.For assembly, I followed another reviewer’s advice and used an 11/16 socket with my drill. This method proved to be a significant time saver compared to using a manual socket wrench or the provided tools.The instructions are primarily visual, so pay close attention to the illustrations. While they weren’t bad overall, there was one part with a poorly drawn diagram that led me to install two parts on the wrong side initially. This mistake required me to disassemble what I had already put together to correct it. Timothy Murray’s review highlighted a similar issue and included helpful images for reference. I wish I had read that before I assembled mine.About 75% of the assembly can be completed alone, but for the remaining 25%, you’ll need someone to assist in holding up certain parts during the process. It took me approximately 5 hours to complete the assembly by myself, and I had to use a ladder and pillows to support some pieces while screwing them in.I contacted the seller for a replacement piece as one was damaged and I received it quickly. Thank you!Aside from the hiccup with the instructions and the damaged piece, I am happy with this product. It is sturdy and works well.Tip: Take all of the parts out of the box, label them and layout in order BEFORE beginning the assembly. I did this and it helped a lot, especially since the parts do not come pre-labeled.

Great value but nearly too small (updated)
For the money, I don’t think you can beat this Smith machine. Had to wait on a replacement part but Ritfit sent it out right away. Assembly took me almost 3 hours but I did it alone. Lubed the guide rods and tested out several movements. It’s smooth and the stability is fine for a machine of this size. The pulleys work fine but I upgraded most of them with some aluminum pulleys I had, so even smoother. My Rogue bench just barely fits for me to be able to do low incline press (see pic). I have to flip the bench around for 45-degree incline and shoulder press. As you can see in the pic, the distance between the guide rods is narrow. I barely fit to be able to perform pressing movements, and my elbows hit the safety hooks if I try to flare my elbows out (e.g., guillotine press), so not sure the safety hooks will do me much good for pressing. I’m nearly 6’2” and I weigh 285 lbs. If you’re taller than me or have a wingspan greater than 73.5”, you will have to tuck your elbows to press on this. The band pegs are a nice touch, as are the foot plates and landmine attachment (which seems to have been improved over previous versions I saw in reviews on YouTube). I’ve loaded 315 pounds on the bar so far, and it felt fine. While not up to Coop’s standards, the knurling on the bar is adequate. Only thing keeping me from giving it a 5-star review is I wish it was about 2” wider between the guide rods. As I use this more, I’ll update my review if necessary.Update (May 5, 2025): I’ve been using the Smith machine regularly since my last review. I really like it and have had no issues using it with up to 3 45-lb plates per side. A few things I’ve noticed: The heavier the load, the harder it is to turn the bar to return the safety hooks to the holes. I can’t use the safety stops on some lifts because the holes are spaced just far enough apart that it either limits my range of motion or they’re outside my range of motion in the bottom of the lift. Finally, if you have two or more 45-lb plates on the storage posts and a 45-lb plate on the bar when doing anything that goes low on the rack (e.g. stiff leg deadlifts), the plate on the bar hits the plates on the posts. These are small annoyances considering the price, and I still think this is a great value.
