Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The SPORTNOW Cable Crossover Machine sits at number 10 of 10 in this guide and costs £359.99. It is also the clearest example of the problem this guide is about: the big number in the title and the number in the spec field are not the same number. The bullet points state that the powder-coated steel frame "can support up to 300 kg". The specification field on the same page lists tension supported as 120 kg — which is also the figure the listing gives for the maximum plate load on the weight bars. Nothing in the advert explains what the other 180 kg refers to, or what is being measured in each case.
The dimensions do not line up either. The bullet points give 220H x 168L x 165W cm; the spec field gives 165D x 165W x 220H cm, so the length figure is 168 cm in one place and 165 cm in the other. The same page shows 4.5 out of 5 from 7 ratings, with a breakdown of 87% five-star and 13% one-star, and an item weight of 87 kg. Everything below — price, numbers, dimensions, attachments — is taken from the Amazon listing as it was written, not from a machine we built or trained on.
