Mikolo Smith Machine with Weight Stack, 2200lbs Squat Rack with LAT-Pull Down System & Cable Crossover Machine, Multi-Function Power Cage, Green

I have a few complaints, but want to be clear up front: THIS MACHINE IS EXCELLENT. I AM VERY PLEASED. My first review was very low because the packaging for shipping is inadequate. All the pieces will arrive scratched and paint chipped off which bothers me very much. One piece (a pully) was completely snapped off. This was not FedEx because the box was in perfect condition, but all the stuff inside was rattling all over dinging each other up. That said, they replaced the broken piece and also a missing piece. The shipping took a couple weeks, but they eventually got it to me. Those replacement pieces were packaged perfectly and are actually the only pieces on the entire thing that are not scratched up. Either way, it is all put together now and it works AWESOME! This is a very good and sturdy machine. I am very happy with it. Their customer service was absolutely perfect. They fixed all my issues, so I am very happy. As for the functionality of the machine, there are a few minor things that were poor design choices, such as the weights smashing into each other on the rack. If you load up your weights onto one of the pullies, for example, and have weights on the storage part (on the back sides) then use the pully, the weights smash into the top storage (unless you have tiny weights stored I guess). So that was a poor design choice having it slope towards the top. Very annoying. Also, if you have weights on either pully system and then go do to a smith-machine workout that goes low down (like a squat or dead lift) then they smash into the weights on the pully. This sucks a lot because you cant do any workout that alternates between pully and smith, you gota constantly unload the weights which is a huge pain. Those are just minor complaints though. I want it to be clear that I LOVE this machine. Minor complaints but the rest is awesome. The smith machine is SUPER smooth and stable. It has a TINY tiny bit of "wobble" (seriously TINY bit, barely noticeable), but I actually like it because it makes it feel a tad bit more like a free barbell so you get a bit of stabilizer muscle work. I think it's the perfect setup. As for putting it together, I did it 100% by myself and it took like 8 hours across a couple days. Maybe 10 hours. The instructions are flawless. Excellent excellent instructions. They are written in perfectly clear english and the steps are very simple. They also package the bolts and everything BY THE STEP! So it says "STEP 1" and all those bolts are packaged in their own "STEP 1" package. Setup took a long time because it's a big machine but they really did a perfect job at making it easy with no errors in the manual. Every time I THOUGHT there was an error, it turned out the piece was just hiding in a spot I didn't expect. For example, step 9 had two screw/bolt packages which I didnt realize at first so I thought I was missing some bolts, but I eventually found them. Also, do NOT take the plastic bag off any part until you are at that step. Otherwise you will not know which letter corresponds to that part. Take it all out of the boxes, but leave the labeled plastic on it until you are ready for that part. Including mixed-bag parts (bags with like 5 or 6 different parts in them). All in all... Highly recommend.

Throughout my long assembly process, I told myself I would write a review. For the price of this Smith Machine, it doesn't get anything less than five stars due to the amount of functionality you receive. I felt like every alternate option I looked for (and I searched for weeks) had a compromise somewhere. This is the one that has the most amount of workout options, and that alone is what caused me to purchase. I really like the way the cable racks are designed for the plates. Other machines I looked at only used one bar for the cable racks and I knew over time that the uneven pressure would cause issues with sliding/squeaking. The actual Smith bar itself is incredibly smooth and feels very high quality. I can tell while I'm bench pressing that the cage isn't quite as large as one you would use in a gym, but those are several thousands of dollars and typically only have the Smith bar. Lastly, and this is what stood out to me the most, was the quality of everything. You have to be careful with the instructions because it's mostly visual without explanation, and it could be easy to mix-up the lines if you aren't focused. However, every single item was accounted for and nothing had so much as a scratch. The metal components feel extremely solid, and I love that small plates are used at connection points to protect from buckling. The packages for the screws, bolts, etc. were very well organized as well with the item names affixed below each set which helped immensely. My recommendation for assembly is to grab a marker, and each time you start a new page do a quick inventory of everything you'll need for that page and mark it off and set it aside before working on that portion. I did not take all of the nuts & bolts out at once and instead only took out the pieces when I needed them. Lastly, you'll want to use a socket and impact drill as it will save you A LOT of time and effort. Aside from the miniscule compromises like the metal rings that you use to stack your weights and the weight holders being plastic in certain areas, you just can't beat this Smith Machine for the price. I'm honestly shocked it's not at least $1,500 for the base M4. If the two things I mentioned bother you, you can just go buy a pack of weight rings for $20 to replace the basic ones that this comes with.

I bought this unit to replace a measly Marcy all in one gym. I was super unsatisfied with The marcy's quality and ability to perform exercises i saved up money and waited till a super prime day deal and pulled the trigger and upgraded BIG time to this. The machine is great! super beefy construction, smooth operation and looks fantastic. My wife helped me assemble and it only took us a couple hours from in box to done. The instructions can be a bit hard to figure and see, but with some common sense and attention its not too bad. Everything came perfect and complete. The machine works flawless, super smooth operation, fitment is perfect and for being a big unit, it actually has a decently small footprint. I love all the excerises you can do. From the independent cables to the smith bar to all the included attachments the only thing i can't accomplish is leg extentions. This has made my workout so enjoyable and efficient. So minor cons: The unit comes in multiple deliveries. I dont know if thats Mikolo, Amazon, or FedEx but it was confusing and i thought i didnt get the entire thing, only to find out it came in 2 seprate deliveries. So keep that mind so you dont freak out like me. The instructions are a little hard to decipher and see the illustrations like stated above. And obviously you'll need to buy weight plates to use the unit, but thats part of the deal. Also even though the instructions dont really say, i'd keep up with quality silicone lubricant on the slide bars. All things said and done, I've been using this 4 days a week for a few months now and the machine is flawless, and perfect. I've loved every minute with it, and i see it lasting a long time. Highly recommend. Get it on a prime day or big holiday sale and nab yourself a STEAL!!!!

I have used this rack a handful of times after purchasing it. The shipping was pretty quick, and all the bolts and pieces were present. I assembled it by myself and it took some time but it's possible. But I recommend getting a wrench, and a socket wrench, it'll help immensely. The smith bar and pulley system is pretty smooth stuff, but I put some lithium grease on them both to keep them healthy longer. If you're tall you are going to have to stack some plates under the smith bar to get a full ROM for RDLs and all that. But for incline press and seated overhead press, it's perfect. The weight storage on the sides seems strong. I have 4 45lb plates on each bottom one and they are holding up. Even though they are just a solid metal rod with a plastic outer shell. I was a little disappointed to see that the weight pegs for storage and on the pulley systems are all plastic, which I'm sure will present problems at some point down the line. But with just a family using this rack, I'm sure it'll be fine. The attachments the rack comes with are not complete garbage, which I was worried about. The bars seem to be strong enough to do some heavy pulling, but they are rubber coated not knurled. Not the best, but not the worst. However the tricep pushdown rope felt like literal plastic. Stiff and unwieldy, so I tossed it. Overall a wonderful addition to the home gym. Now I have no need to train in a "globo' gym. Its a perfect personal use rack. I am satisfied with this purchase.

Pros: - life time warranty and great customer service - the price is good for a smith machine power cage with pulley system. (I got it for 1100$ on Black Friday) - space saving because it is not too wide and not many things sticking out - very easy to assemble. It is like IKEA instruction. - well built and sturdy. feels premium quality. easy on the eyes. - the pulley system is very smooth. I just wish there is an option for extra attachment to do the real cable crossover. - very versatile and you can do a lot of workouts. Cons: - it is big and heavy, so too much hassle to return. (make sure you really did your research before buying) - the smith machine barbell doesn't go all the way down for a good hip thrust exercise. you'll need a block or something to step on to do the hip thrust. - the machine is just the right width for me who is 5'9'' and 160lb. I wish it was wider. If you're a big guy, this might be too small for you. The width that is shown in the picture (48'') is measured from outside of the cage. it is much narrower (42" ish) when you measure it from the inside. - the pulley is not high enough for a lats pulldown but if you can sit on the floor it is doable. - the pins that hold the band pegs in place are too small, but I don't need them anyways Overall it is a good product. I would have given it 5 stars if it was a couple of inches wider. I have a 7' olympic barbell so the rack is a little too narrow for it.

I love this machine! I’ve had it for a year now and have zero complaints! I workout almost daily and it has everything I need in a home gym. It has held together beautifully and I assembled it by myself. The instructions say two People but I did it alone with zero issues. Very nice setup!

- Comes in Four Packages so delivery is spotty, one a day it seemed like. - Follow the instructions exactly, the instructions are intentional so pay attention to the actual drawings and how everything is oriented. - weight bar is an Olympic bar which is nice. - every box weights about 100 lbs so get some help when moving the boxes. - carve out some time, will take a full day at least 8 hours. - key is to be organized and don’t get ahead, take it step by step or you’ll waste pieces or have to redo something. - lesson learned with the pillows, do not tighten a single pulley until you have ran the cables where they need to go, then tighten. - the weight bench, plates, standard curl bar and Olympic bar not included (just smith machine Olympic bar is included). - trash… lots…of … trash. Buy a burn barrel or get ready to go to the dump when you’re done. - you’ll see the first pieces have an end cap that looks like the holes should like up but they aren’t supposed to so just keep the cap the way it is . - the end of the cable for the pully can come apart so you don’t “have” to restring the whole thing if you mess up. - the last attachment which hooks at the bottom and receives the Olympic bar where you can use it to pass the weight from side to side is rusted in the inside due to shop paint not getting further down the cylinder. - very well made, high quality parts. I would not do this with any help, you will just loose parts and takes longer. Plug in some tubes and stay focused. - Caution: when you install the chrome square poles they are free standing, don’t let them tip over and hit you when while you’re trying to complete the skeleton of the structure. - I would recommend and would buy again but would probably pay some else to build it again because this was like building a car. But I’m happy with it!!!!

I can tell you that it was an effort to put together. Took many hours but definitely worth all the effort. Takes your workout to the next level for sure. It literally gives you most of the capabilities of a real gym in one "small" package that allows you to work out from home. Still fairly new in ownership but I can see this thing helping me increase my gains that my previous equipment could never do. Quick and easy to change between workout "stations" as well making life easier and wasting less time during workouts. Get it if you're wanting to take your workout to the next level! Update: After a couple months of use, I can honestly say this thing is awesome. Never have to go to the gym during their hours and waste time waiting to use equipment and weights again! Get yourself one if you're serious about working out!!

Super well build, loving it a lot. 🙂 the cable system is so smooth.

My long-awaited Smith machine has finally arrived, and I’m so happy with it. I haven’t assembled it yet, but everything came perfectly, and I received exceptional support from customer service!

100% worth for the price. Also exceptional customer service, 10/10 would buy again from this seller.
