The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, the Mikolo Anubis 2.0 is repeatedly described as a 'sneaky value' premium all-in-one: a 3"x3" 12-gauge steel half-rack with Smith machine, lat pulldown, cable crossover and dual weight stacks. Multiple expert video and blog reviewers (trust unverified) call its pulley system one of the smoothest in the home-gym space and praise its stability for a half rack. A two-month owner review on r/GarageGym noted the rack is heavy enough with the plate stacks that bolting it down felt unnecessary even under heavy barbell work.

What reviewers liked

  • Expert reviewers and r/GarageGym describe the pulley system as among the smoothest in home gyms
  • Heavy 3x3 12-gauge steel build praised for stability without bolting down
  • Counterbalanced Smith bar and aluminum pulleys noted as standout features
  • 4.9 average Amazon rating reflects strong early-owner satisfaction

Where it falls short

  • Most praise comes from unverified expert reviewers, not independent testing labs
  • Highest price in this roundup at roughly $2,550
  • Small verified-purchase review base limits confidence
  • Large, heavy unit that demands significant space and effort to assemble

Across the reviews

Synthesis · not our verdict

Across the reviewers we read, the Mikolo Anubis 2.0 is repeatedly described as a 'sneaky value' premium all-in-one: a 3"x3" 12-gauge steel half-rack with Smith machine, lat pulldown, cable crossover and dual weight stacks. Multiple expert video and blog reviewers (trust unverified) call its pulley system one of the smoothest in the home-gym space and praise its stability for a half rack. A two-month owner review on r/GarageGym noted the rack is heavy enough with the plate stacks that bolting it down felt unnecessary even under heavy barbell work.

r/GarageGym threads highlight the spec sheet enthusiasts care about, 3x3 12-gauge steel, 1-inch hole compatibility, aluminum pulleys and a counterbalanced Smith bar that reportedly feels like roughly 8 lbs, with the Smith bar running on plates rather than the selectorized stack. Community sentiment is consistently positive, positioning it just below true commercial equipment at a fraction of the price.

The caveats: nearly all enthusiastic signals come from unverified expert reviewers and medium-trust community posts rather than any independent testing lab, and verified-purchase volume is low (around 15 ratings). At roughly $2,550 it's also the most expensive option here, so buyers are paying premium money for a value-brand product that reviewers like but no high-trust lab in our data has independently measured.

The smith bar is counterbalanced so it feels like only 8 pounds. The smith bar is not attached to the weight stack - you use plates. So you ...
