Weider 390 Power Tower Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)NOT BAD
=========
First off, I'm pretty happy with it, but will try to write another review after 6 months, if Amazon allows that.
MISSING SCREWS
===========
The package was missing all of the M6 x 80mm Button Screws which are mentioned in the manual.
There's a cardboard sheet, covered by plastic which is supposed to contain all of the screws and bolts necessary to put the 390 together. All of the tools on the sheet, are clearly marked. But the 80mm screws aren't there at all - i.e., they are not only missing; there is not even any labeled place for it. The M6 x 80mm screws were completely forgotten when the factory put this together.
Anyway, I contacted Customer Care, using the number in the manual. First day I called the toll-free number, it was impossible to reach anyone. But the second day, it went smoothly. They took down the information, and I received the 80mm screws within a week.ASSEMBLY
==========
Regarding assembly itself, the manual was clear enough. They manual recommends two people, but it took only me, and I'm about average when it comes to assembling these things. It took a few days, moving very slowly, but it could clearly be done in an evening.THE WEIDER 390 POWER TOWER
=============================
The equipment itself seems to operate as expected. The knee pad plate seems unnecessary, so it was removed. You could just as easily use a chair, and bend your knees loosely. That seems to accomplish the same thing.
My purpose for purchasing the 390 was for the pull-ups. My doors can't handle the weight of those pull-up bars which are sold everywhere, so the 390 seemed like a good substitute. A secondary reason was the dips.
Considering that there are no weights on this machine, the whole thing is surprisingly heavy. Nothing that a grown person or two can't re-position occasionally, mind you; just heavier than expected, for a non-weight exercise unit.
I don't care for the stiff-arm oblique knee raises on this machine, but that may be only a personal preference; someone else might find it convenient.
One pleasant surprise was a place for calf raises near the bottom of the unit. Very convenient, that.GENERALLY, OK
===============
In general, it seems fine, but if Amazon permits it, I'll write a second review in about 6 months, with regard to the wear and tear issue.

Offering everything you need for a great workout, the Weider Club 390 Power Tower helps you build muscle and get fit in the comfort of your own home. The Club 390 offers three primary workout stations. First up is a dip station with a foldaway assist pad that helps you perform dips until you're strong enough to do them on your own. Should you choose not to use the assist pad, simply fold it down and move it out of the way. The pull-up station, meanwhile, also uses the assist pad to help you perform pull-ups and chin-ups until you're ready to do them independently. Finally, the vertical knee raise (VKR) station helps you lose inches around your waist, develop ab muscles worthy of showing off, and tone your oblique and hip flexor muscles. The foldaway assist pad comes with 15- and 25-pound resistance bands that add up to 80 pounds of assistance to your routines. The stronger you get over time, the less resistance you'll need to use.
