I have the CF475 and it's been battered 3-4 times a week for the past 18 months with 200kg+, I've dropped 280kg rack pulls onto the safety bars and it's solid. It's also half the price of the F430. There's no added benefit to it being heavier, the rack is only as strong as it's weakest point. The weld on the CF475 is good on the hooks and safeties and that's really all that matters. I check the welds for stress every now and then and don't worry about it. No doubt the F430 is a great bit of kit but for that price it would want to squat the weight for you!

I ordered the deluxe strength package and + 2 x 20kg extra plates well before christmas 1. they delivered to the wrong house at the far side of town 2. left me short about 65kg on the 185 I should have got 3. no lat/low pulley 4. because they left it out the back of another house in the rain with the weights just lying open on a pallet, they're kinda rusty now 5. also, no free belt and gloves (least of my worries) Ya couldnt really recommend that kind of service, but I put the CF475 rack together today and it is v.solid, even if the spacing is a tiny bit big, I feel a whole heap safer in that than the last contraption I had

That doesn't sound right I've yet to get a reply, so I might try the websites quick chat thing, see if that speeds things up

When I done this, the shipping documents listed a weight that meant the two 25kg plates couldn't have been included in the package. Therefore, I knew it was a PowerHouseFitness issue as opposed to the items being lost in transit. If your package was left in the wrong location, the plates may well have been stolen too. Checking the courier documentation will give you a better idea of what happened and you'll be in a better position to argue with PowerHouseFitness if you can confirm, like I did, that the weight listed indicates that the plates weren't delivered in the first place.
