I am a fan of Rogue Fitness instruments. Nonetheless, I am disappointed with their selective reviewing system. They wouldn't even publish my 4-star reviews, simply because I pointed out some shortcomings/design issues of their system. I feel sorry for Rogue, because a company without integrity is so hopeless!
I wonder if anyone else had similar experiences?

No... Only product reviews I read or write are on this forumOriginally Posted by liv4spd
Much better information, and probably a bigger audience anyway.

Can't fathom why they would weed out less-than-stellar reviews of their products on their website that they are actively trying to sell to people...

The fact that they have to edit and approve your review and make you wait a long time before your review shows up is VERY BAD!

It's an e-commerce site, not a neutral review site. They're in the business of selling their products. They don't generate revenue by hosting unvarnished reviews. Lots of online businesses selectively choose which customer reviews to publish. Instead of expending your energy whining about a common practice, why don't you use your time to post a review here?Originally Posted by liv4spd

Don't worry. Bunch of fan boys here. You won't see this kind of practice from an honest and respectable company like Titan fitness.Originally Posted by liv4spd

They did leave a pretty scathing review of their leg press up.

not what i was hoping for
I don't think when they built this they really had anyone try it. 1 It is hard for my power lifters to get in and out of. 2 also the safety levers are way too far away to reach from a seated position. 3 the tall and short stoppers for the sled are not even 2'' apart. I had to have a guy come in and do some cutting and welding to make it work 90%▪█─────█▪ Equipment Crew #53 ▪█─────█▪

This and some other "wordsmithing" from them regarding the lat pull-down I just purchased from them, has me looking at other distributors, where in the past I would almost automatically go with rogue. You vote with your dollars. Even though it's wishful thinking you'd "like" to think a company puts somethings in front of moving a unit at all costs, thus is business though....Originally Posted by DVG93
