Mikolo NOVA™ Leg Extension and Curl Machine, Adjustable Leg Curl Machine for Home Gym, Seated Leg Extension and Lying Leg URL Machine with 1:1 Resistance System

I want to clarify; as of June 2026, this page is no longer for the Taweret, but the NOVA. These reviews, prior to mine (88 at this time) *are all for a different product.* Now, the Nova is the follow-up to the Taweret, but this isn't a small upgrade, it's a total departure. Whereas the Taweret used a Cam/Cable to pull the lever srm up, the Nova appears to connect via a Link rod (not sure on the name.) This follows the design of the LE08 at a cheaper price as opposed to the Taweret, and as such reviews before this should be taken with a grain of salt as an example of the Company's pedigree rather than the machine's capability. That being said, the Taweret is what I grabbed just before the Nova came out. I give it 5 stars as, for the proce, I don'tthink I could've gotten any better. It's smooth, it has great resistance throughout the movement, it's comfortable, it works well both for Lying Curls and for Leg Ext. The gripes I have are minimal: - an inability to adjust the angle of the seat pad to lay back further in the Extension. I attempted to do extensions from the Lying Curl position, but the change in the back psd *and* seat angles made this less than comfortable. Possibly it'd work fine if I decreased the weight in this position, but I didn't experiment much here as it isn't bad in the regular positioning. - the back pad is liable to wobble, regardless of how snug all of the bolts are. - with 270%23 , the extension rod does flex somewhat. However, this isn't too noticeable and - again, for the price - I've found it to work just fine if not better than its' competitors at this price. The value at $300 could not be beat, and I'm happy with my.ourchase, enough that I will avoid the Matrix selectorized leg extension at the gym and use mine instead.

For an at-home piece of equipment, this meets my needs. So far, it's very sturdy. It doesn't wobble like an extension on the end of a weight bench. It's quite flexible in it's configurations for leg extension and hamstring curls. The assembly instructions were OK. There are several different sized bolts -- make sure you use the right ones at the right time! It took two of us about 2-1/2 hours to put together.

Everything works great ..it looks good ..any work out equipment you buy usually buy comes with bangs and scratches .. it's work out equipment 🤷🏽‍♂️ but there was some paint flaking off some of the parts ..but it'll be fine other than that ..I highly recommend it..I haven't packed on more than 100 pounds . But it runs smoothly

Prior to purchasing this machine, I purchased 2 other ones that I put together, disassembled, and returned as they just did not live up to my expectations both in function and quality. I saw this machine on Tik Tok and thought it probably is not a good buy but after exhausting some of my other options, I thought I would give it a try. I am so glad that I did. It arrived in two boxes. Everything was packaged very well. I put it together by myself and it was pretty straightforward. In my opinion, the machine is of great quality. Well designed and thick steel. The cable movement is very smooth. The leg arm stay straight and does not flex of bow although i have not had heavy weight on it, 50 lbs, this has caused a previous machine to bow. This model converts to prone leg curl which is a very simple process to complete... pull a pin and lift. The cushions are very comfortable and of high quality. The seat is large which is nice considering the other machines had 14" seats. I could probably go on a bit more but I'll leave it as saying that I just wish I would have purchased this machine first. It's very good quality and I am very happy with it.

This is a great machine for the price. Very sturdy and switching from Quads to Hams is a breeze. I'm about 6'4 265 and it fits me great. The assembly isn't overly difficult but it takes a couple times looking at the next picture to completely understand the ask. I recommend laying everything out and not taking off the plastic so you can match the letters with the instructions. It will just make the process that much easier.

This is a real review, there are a lot of fake ones out there and they are pretty obvious. Clearly someone doesn't know what domestic means. Anyways, I bought it anyways even with all the fake reviews. The instructions are not that great, but it was easy enough to figure out how to put it together. Probably took me an hour an a half. I have not had the problem with sliding that others have had. So far it works flawlessly. For the price it is a decent machine. I have had about 315 lbs on it. I have rubber bumper plates which are thicker so can't do much more than that. If you have the metal plates, you could probably do a lot more. I'm not sure if I would trust 600 lbs, but I'm not Jalen Hurts, so will never do that much.

Great machine! Replaced two older machines in my home gym with this- very smooth transition and use of each exercise, would recommend

Love this machine, I used it last week and it is so smooth. It took about 2 hours to assembly but everything was labeled. I love it

Mikolo TAWERET Leg Extension and Curl Machine is a great machine. It has a very smooth operation. Easy to put together but came with a defective part that took two weeks to get a new one, only reason for four stars. Customer service was through emails, a slow process but they did respond. When I called Mikolo, I asked where they were located due to heavy accent. She said the Philippines, extremely disappointing because they were no help at all. I like Mikolo and GMWD products but would have to reconsider due to experience with defective part and customer service.

I am really questioning all these positive reviews. The machine simply doesn't work. Even with tons of lubricant, it sticks and wobbles. The actual quality of the machine is pretty good, especially the pad. But its worthless in actual use. Not usable at all.
