Mikolo Smith Machine, 2200lbs Squat Rack with LAT-Pull Down System & Cable Crossover Machine, Training Equipment with Leg Hold-Down Attachment, Garage & Home Gym Package (Red)

Affordable but sturdy piece of equipment for at home use. Seller has communicated with us extremely well and has answered all our questions. And provided free parts for a piece that was defective. Very impressed with M4 and its seller Mikolo.

First things first: the assembly is not as difficult as some reviews are claiming. As long as you inventory all your parts and bolts and nuts prior to assembly you will be fine. Assembly time is 6 hours if you are methodical and double-checking everything as you go. I highly recommend a cordless drill and sockets or ratcheting wrenches in metric to speed up the process of assembly. The cable running was super simple as well. Second: some parts are not an exact fit as can be expected for lower-cost Chinese-made equipment QC/QA. This is just a fact of life and not a dig against the manufacturer. Temper your expectations of a finding a diamond in the rough. This is why I gave it 4 stars and not a fiver. Third: this machine will handle several hundred pounds of plates with ease. My only suggestion for the mechanically inclined or welder-types is adding another cross-support above the back crossbar to add rigidity to the upper assembly as it is prone to some swaying and may scare some users. However, it is fully functional and completely safe to use. One other suggestion would be to strap it down to the foundation of your setup area if you can. Some Redhead concrete anchors and four good steel straps will definitely prevent any potential movement of the rack if you are a meathead like me and pushing 600 lbs or more on the Smith bar. My setup has 670lbs of plates in total from my previous rack, so there is plenty of storage for extra plates aside from those provided. Fourth: the bench is pretty good. I was honestly expecting some flimsy garbage, but it is actually good. Very good footprint, hefty and extremely stable. Cons: come in several boxes that tend to arrive over 2 to 3 days. Seller was extremely good at responding to question and concerns. Again, for an entry level weight-lifter to advanced this is a good all-around set to purchase as it completely eliminates having to deal with franchise gyms and the headaches that usually accompany that. There is also peace of mind in being able to come home for a trash day at work or whatever and take out that stress on the weights.

It’s perfect to start or continue a home workout routine. Everything seems to be of good quality and sturdiness. Had an issue with the weight holder being cracked and they sent replacements right away.

I really love the quality of this total home gym equipment. It is made of sturdy, strong, and reliable material. The assembly instructions were really simple and easy to follow. I love this smith machine with all its various functions. In fact, I cancelled my gym membership because there is really no need to pay for a monthly fee when I can workout with my home equipment. It is a perfect fit for my garage and does not take up too much space. I highly recommend this product!

After growing frustrated with poor gym etiquette and constant filming of “Experts” at commercial gyms, I bought the Mikolo M4 & M4 Ultra Smith Machine for my home. The rack is sturdy and substantial, the smooth smith system uses the full bar weight and the studs are plenty, and the cable system is smooth. The attachments meet nearly all workout needs. Only a leg extension attachment is missing, but extra squats work fine instead. DON’T SKIP LEG DAY!! Both bench sections adjust, and I especially like the dip bars and seated row. A cable curl bar would be nice, but I can use the cable straight bar or lat bar for curls. Since switching three months ago, I haven’t missed the commercial gym equipment or clientele. Bumper weights arrive with some oily residue, so unpack carefully and be careful where you place them. I’m very handy and Assembly took about 4 hours, nothing major just a lot of assembly, but it’s worth it! I had a small issue with the rack’s weight storage studs, but the friendly customer service resolved it quickly with great communication. Overall, I highly recommend this system and the people at Mikolo.
