Mikolo Power Cage, 2000LB Power Rack with Independent Dual Pulley System, Multi-Function Home Gym Workout Machine for Cable Crossover

Perfect for my home gym upgrade. This rack is well built and has nice stability. I was able to assemble it myself after taking the individual pieces out of the boxes. I recommend using actual tools and not the simple tool included. The cable system is smooth and easily adjusts to perform a variety of exercises. The addition of a bench, Olympic weight bar, and weights will fill in the rest of the exercises to get a varied full body workout.

I absolutely love my Half Power Cage! The cables move smoothly and easily. Adjusting the height of the cable attachments is simple, all the way up for pull-downs and to the bottom for floor rows. One inch hole spacing makes adjustments precise. The safety bars are long enough to provide security and J hooks are solid when weighted. Both are easy to adjust. There are different hold positions on the pull-up bar and when used the rack is rock solid. I appreciate the storage bars for plates. My room is 11' x 12' and there is plenty of room for the rack and accessories. However, I use a women's olympic length barbell (6'6"), and it is too long to use the landmine attachment easily in the room. Assembly was straightforward for two people. This is a high quality piece of equipment and the centerpiece of my home gym.

Before I proceed I have to say that they have a great customer service. I'm sure they're not here in the US but they get back to people in a timely manner. Something that must be clear and kept in mind is that this is for home use therefore you can't expect to have the stability of the regular gym equipment. Mine is sitting on a 1/2" rubber mat and it is pretty stable. Another factor is that I'm only 154lbs so it doesn't shake too much due to my weight. Assembly is pretty simple. With the help of the instructions and a video from YouTube, was an easy task. Quality - I'll give it a 9 from 1 to 10. The reason why is the paint starts to chip off too soon from the safety bars. Nothing wrong with that because it doesn't affect the performance of them. Another reason why is a 9, is because the thread of the nuts that are built into the frame where you can store the weight plates, was stripped and couldn't tighten up the screws. I must say that I contacted the manufacturer and they corrected the issue. Actually, I was very surprised and happy with the way they handled it. I won't get into details. Performance - I'll give it a 9. Again, considering this a home power rack, is somewhat narrower than the regular gym equipment, making it feel weird when doing chest exercises like the one where you set the handles all the way to the top. Pull ups are uncomfortable too due to the short length of the bar and the steep angle at the ends. I feel my hands start to slide down due to the steep angle. It's not the end of the world, at least for me, but if you have a wider frame then it's going to feel way worse. The same thing happens with the lat pull down bar that comes with it, steep angles and kind of short. I decided to remove the feet attachment to do row exercises. This could be just because I don't have too much room in the bedroom where I set it up but I did notice that the range of motion is too short. The angle of the attachment pretty much limits you to do the exercises seated on the floor. Cannot do it sitting on the bench. The rollers are pretty smooth and even though they tend to tangle from time to time. It's just a matter of untangling them and they work fine. I've noticed this with the heavy plates, 45's though. Other than that, I'm happy with the purchase which I've had for the past three months. I love cable exercises because of the constant tension on the eccentric part of the movement. I also like it because I was able to do rack pulls again and perform a series of exercises that I couldn't do before the purchase. One thing to add, when doing rack pulls I use a couple of pcs of plywood to bring my knees to the correct height. This is because of the location of the first holes on the rack. As you can see, you have to play with it and be a little creative, but it is a nice rack. Would definitely recommend it despite the above mentioned. A gym membership these days is around 50 bucks, at least here in NYC so do the math. I hope this review is of any help for those thinking about getting it. Thanks !!!

Was pleasantly surprised by the sturdiness of this system. Was already making plans to bolt it down in the garage but after assembling it I have been lazy as its not really needed. Did a few pullups after tightening everything down and had no concerns. I still plan on doing it eventually but just for a safety factor when my boys are working out. Assembly was easy to follow. The only issue i had was cracking one of the weight sleeves that go over the bars. That being said I overtightened it. Both pully systems seem to be decent and more than able to handle the lifting and workouts I plan on doing. There is an option to get upgraded pulleys but decided to see how these ones do first and go from there. Will update my review in the future if they fail causing a need for the upgraded ones. If you're not a powerlifter and looking for a budget friendly system that still gives you everything you need for full body workouts this is it.

It's been great so far. The boxes arrived together in good shape. I have build experience and found it to be easy, but just pay extra close attention to the instructions when you're setting up the cables and pulleys. Follow it closely and the cables will run smooth and can retract fully into the pulley properly. Since assembly I've pretty much used most of its features. All the attachments are in good condition. The rack stands firm and does not lean if installed correctly. If you shake the rack there is very minimal movement or swaying after the bolts are tightened. It seems tough which is exactly what I was hoping for. Very happy with this and if you're looking for a functional rack that saves space, look no further. I'm already checking out the mikolo leg press but there aren't as many reviews for it (but they're mostly positive). I'll probably get it when my wallet recovers from this one.

Bang for you buck budget rack, I picked this out of all the amazon and others. I bought the rack with aluminum pulleys for roughly $600 as of spring of 2025. The normal non promo price is $800, if you wait a week or two they are always running this promo and would highly suggest waiting just watch for it. Back to the actual review. Is this not a $3000 Rough rack! But is this the best out of a the under $1000, from what research i did for about a month! Aluminum pulleys all run smooth, i did not try the plastic, but for a $100 on initial purchase vs $200 if you want to upgrade later on they are on there actual website. Assembly, all machining holes were spot on and besides 2 holes with Red over spray drip but no big deal. The instructions are 9 pages and you really need to pay attention to what they are saying in the photos. I was a B level auto tech and I was watching Youtube an assembled this on a Saturday night and it took me over 2 hours to assemble with an adjustable wrench and a 17mm wrench. Could I have done it way faster yes but it was tedious. Also the instructions are in box 2 not 1, that had me confused for a couple minutes. Shipping everything came in with in a week of purchase. Box 2 came and the pulleys came in 7 business days and Box 1 came on the 8th business day which was a Monday. Couple nicks in shipping, to be expected. If you are a welder they are china welds but fully assembled it seems very sturdy and would not be worried at all putting weight on this thing. Again not a all american rack your not going to be Ronnie Colman on this rack but it will get you on the road there 2 years from now. It does have a large footprint in my eyes but its not a wall mounted. As of day 1 I have 0 complaints.

This is an incredible rack! I put it together myself in about 3.5 hours. I am pretty handy and have lots of tools, but it wasn’t difficult at all. I do recommend having full sized wrenches and ratchets so you don’t need to use the little mini wrenches. It’s solid, works smoothly, self explanatory for setup, and has everything we need for some awesome strength workouts at home! The cables offer a ton of range of motion, and the various attachments really offer lots of versatility. We did not get some attachments on time, and they sent them all to us within a week after emailing the email in the instructions manual. Worth every penny so far!

Got the upgraded version with Aluminum pulley and I do not regret it at all Arrived in 2 huge boxes + a small one with the Aluminum pulley First impression when opening the boxes is that the quality is great and much better than what I originally had in mind, all pieces were complete and packaged very well..... there were a few scratches here and there but not a big deal Building instructions were OK, the rack itself is very sturdy and stable, the pulley system is very smooth especially with the aluminum pulleys..... no need to add any lubricants "yet" The size is very compact and efficient I researched this rack for over a month and had it shortlisted with Major Fitness Drone 1 model but after assembling it I am glad I chose the Mikolo HR05 The 1:1 dual pulley system simply multiplies your training weight capacity by 4 Worth mentioning that over this month Mikolo customer service answered and are still answering a lot of my questions in a very detailed, quick and professional manner The only reason I am taking out a star is that the aluminum pulleys come as extras over the plastic pulleys which come by default Also they send you the aluminum pulley package of the K3 model which has 21 pieces while this HR05 model only needs 18 Now after the assembly I ended up with 18 new plastic pulleys and 3 new aluminum pulleys, this is an unnecessary overhead on the price and a hassle to store, would be great if Mikolo just avoids this redundancy
