I recently purchased the Syedee DD09 hack squat and leg press machine, and it has exceeded expectations. The steel frame and components feel solid and high-quality — nothing flimsy, nothing loose. It's a compact design at about 84” × 34”, which fits perfectly in my home gym without overwhelming the space, yet it still offers a full range of motion and a 500 lb capacity that's more than enough for my training.
I had the machine assembled through Walmart's Angi service. Two pros handled the entire setup efficiently and correctly, and that experience alone made the add-on worth it.
In terms of performance, this machine solved a real issue for me. I've struggled to load barbell squats heavy without aggravating my lower back. With the DD09, I can perform both hack squats and leg presses safely and with confidence. The sled moves smoothly, and I'm getting a genuinely effective leg workout without worrying about form breakdown or back strain.
Delivery via FedEx was on schedule, no surprises.
Overall, I recommend both the machine and the Angi assembly option. For a home gym setup, the DD09 delivers high value, solid build quality, and a safe way to push leg strength hard.
