Plate-Loaded Lat Pull Down & Cable Row Machine

Price/Experience with the company: I purchased this item in October of 2020 for $434.59 from Titan. The list price for it now is $740 but it often goes on sale and at least around me they appear regularly on Facebook Marketplace. Experience with the piece: I have used this machine extensively. It came with a lat pull down handle and a short straight bar handle. These attachments are nothing to write home about, they have rubber grips/no gnurling, but they function and I have yet to replace them. We use this machine for lat pull downs, low rows, triceps push downs, seated face pulls and the occassional biceps curl. It has always performed well for these exercises. As other reviewers have mentioned, the whole machine will wobble or sway once you start to load it up. It does not inspire confidence but it has also never affected the performance. The feel of the cable pull is just ok; it is not particularly smooth. I apply a dry lube to the guide rods probably once every three months or so to cut down on the additional friction. Again, the feel has never inhibited performance, but it would be noticable if you were coming from using a higher end machine. Final thoughts: Even for the current MSRP price, I think this piece would be a valuable addition to the right home gym.

In my experience, the build quality with Titan is usually substandard. This wasn't too bad. I was forced to waller out the the hole for the upper pulley so I could do facepulls without the cable rubbing. I would purchase again.

Very solid piece, default pulleys work well, and can handle a solid amount of weight, only reason I could see myself getting an upgrade is to get the version with the weight stack because I genuinely love this!

Great plate-loaded machine if you have the space for a lat pull-down and cable row machine. I don't personally want to give up the space needed for this machine, so I'm making an effort to set up what I can on a functional trainer.

Selling mine shortly but overall this thing is nicely built. Can handle as much weight as you need on it and is a pretty smooth pull. Value has skyrocketed over the last few years so if you can find a deal run with it. On top of my cables on it wore down pretty quick, haven’t had anything break but sucks that it happened. Lastly the bolts on the top actually snapped on me when I first moved into my house so I had to replace those.

My only problem with this, is how big it is. It will stick out far into your gym. The weight stability is great and you will be happy with the feel of the pulley.

You get more than you pay for, but definitely a budget piece. Would recommend anchoring if you have a permanent home for it but it works without being fixed down. It does rock a little no matter how tight you get the screws, that used to bother me but it’s strong and holds a lot of weight.

This has been a great, budget lat pulldown that is surprisingly challenging. Takes a beating and keeps on working. Recommended.

Great option for a budget pulldown machine. Have left mine outside for the last 6 years, is missing one bolt on the top crossmember (our fault), still going strong with the help of a little WD40. Has a little wobble when you get going to fast with it, but that extra bolt would probably fix it.

Works well enough. The bottom cable does slide out of the pully sometimes which can be annoying.
