Mikolo Anubis-2.0 Smith Machine with Weight Stack, 3“×3” All-in-One Power Cage with LAT Pulldown & Cable Crossover, 3200LBS Multi-Function Trainer with Aluminum Pulley System for Fitness Home Gym

Took a chance on this machine because there's nothing else on the market with as much value at this price point. Mikolo figured out the price that budget home gym owners were willing to pay, what features were priority, and then crammed as much value as they could into one package. It worked! I'm 100% happy with this purchase after considering Fringe Sport Dane 2.0, GetRX'D Phoenix Tower, Major Fitness, Rep, Rogue, and many other alternatives. For lifters concerned with the 2:1 pulley ratio not providing enough actual felt weight, the Anubis Elite package gives you weight stacks and weight horns that you were supposed to get with the plate loaded version. Instead of buying additional gym pins to add plates to the selectorized stack, you can bolt the weight horns onto the weight stack. The holes and bolts are already there. No need to DIY anything. The pulley, weight horns, and first plate of each side becomes one part. WARNING: doing this might void product warranty. Also, it's not guaranteed every Elite package will come with additional weight horns. When setting up this machine, you will notice many things Mikolo has cut back on to keep it budget friendly. For examples, bolts are not true 1-inch diameter bolts; it's a smaller diameter bolt with 1-inch diameter plastic bushing. The rack uses 12-gauge steel not the thicker and stronger 11-gauge steel. There's not enough UHMW plastic to prevent attachments from scratching your rack uprights. But, all of that is fine. Racks will get scratched regardless of UHMW through normal wear and tear. 12-gauge is enough for home use unless you're a proven beast that know 1000% you need 11-gauge steel. Your Anubis might end up with dents and scratches from shipping/delivery. They give you an email address to get in touch with customer service. Contact them to work out the issues. They do respond on time.

Shipment was quick—arrived 2–3 days earlier than expected. There are a lot of boxes, and doing it solo took about 4 to 6 hours, but the physical instructions and the YouTube setup video made the process straightforward and easy to follow. I did have one post arrive with a damages from shipping (large scratch that stripped the coating), but Mikolo's customer support was responsive and quickly offered to ship a replacement. I'm currently waiting on that to arrive, but the support experience itself was solid (will update if there is any further issues). Once assembled, usage-wise its great. The pulleys are super smooth, and the extra stands for the spotter arms feel very sturdy. I really appreciate the thoughtful design details like the numbers on every post, and the simplicity of the 3x3 design with 1-inch holes gives it great compatibility and it's really sturdy. Overall a great purchase

The Mikolo machine was easy to assemble. It is a great machine with a variety of accessories to use for your workout, which are easy to change out for the exercise you want to do. I have been using it every day since I got it.

For a home gym setup, it packs everything.. rack, cables, and attachments all in one. Build feels solid and stable, and the pulley system is smooth. Doesn’t feel cheap once it’s assembled. Took some time to put together, but once it’s up, it’s a full gym in one footprint. Can still park in my garage. Overall, great value!

Horrible customer service. I ordered the Ultimate 2.0, and my order was delivered incomplete. I've been contacting customer service for the past three days trying to get the issue resolved, and every time I'm told that the claim is being “elevated.” After spending nearly $3,000 and paying for the order in full, I would expect the company to make resolving an issue like this a priority. Instead, I keep getting the same response with no actual resolution or clear timeline. To make matters worse, the communication has been extremely difficult. The representative I spoke with sounded like they were talking through a microwave, making an already frustrating situation even harder to deal with. I really expected better customer service after making such a significant purchase. The product may be good, but the customer service experience so far has been extremely disappointing.
