Mikolo Smith Machine, 2200lbs Squat Rack with LAT-Pull Down System & Cable Crossover Machine, Training Equipment with Leg Hold-Down Attachment

Exceeded my expectation.
I’ve waited a while to do the review just to make sure I give an honest opinion. I absolutely love this machine. This machine has everything necessary to workout. There are so many options exercise wise. The machine is sturdy and well constructed. I use the weights storage arms to put my weights and that also helps for stability. And remember its a home gym NOT a commercial gym. This machine is not worth an insane amount of money that you can compare to a commercial machine that is worth thousands of dollars. I have curl bars, dumbbells, and all the other gym equipment that compliments my workouts that you will find in a gym that sometimes you are use to using. I don’t have to leave the house or have any membership in a gym to complete a workout for lack of. I’m really satisfied as a customer. If your looking to find something to criticize you will always find something. There’s nothing with the machine that affects my ability to get complete workouts and that’s what I was looking for. Just the value that the pullies is enough for me. There are so many options that I have with the pullies in combination with the bench that it’s more than enough. It has a landmine which is awesome and a plus for me. It also has a setup to put battle ropes another plus. Another plus for me was also the footprint of the machine. When I put it together I was surprised to see how compact it was but comfortable. The sleek look of the machine is amazing it looks like an expensive machine. I bought the all black model and it didn’t disappoint. Communication with the seller was amazing also. The machine is shipped in two parts. That I didn’t know. So I emailed the company and they got back fast. I had several conversations threw email and they never took more than a full day to get back to me. When the machine was fully assembled I was missing one part something simple nothing big. They told me to take pictures, and send them which I did. The next message they sent me was that the part was on it’s way. Ans surely enough it arrived in three days which also surprised me not only that it arrived fast but there was no hassle from them or a going back and fourth just me trying to get my part. and that for me is also a plus. Another big plus for me is that they send plenty of nuts bolts and washers because that’s one thing, there will be a lot of bolting things together, they sent extras. Sometimes you don’t get enough and now you have to go and buy some, which for me is not a deal breaker it’s more about the inconvenience of having to stop something leave and come back. The instructions are pretty good. Just make sure you do it exactly how it says, because i tried to be slick and bypass certain steps to hurry up and it didn’t workout. You will be going back and loosening the parts. But that was on me. For me this machine is what I was looking for and I’m glad I bought it. And for the price I really can’t complain. It’s really an all in one gym.

Excellent and sturdy machine
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.
