These are plate loated rack systems with a smith bar and adjustable pulleys. Both models have independent weight horns for each pulley and use a 2:1 weight ratio. They come with a lot of attachment addons/accessories as well including pull down bars, ropes, leg hold downs, dip attachments, etc. These are 2x2 rack systems, not 3x3.
I have the 1.0 and love it. Here's an AI comparison of the 1.0 vs 2.0, but I don't know how accurate it is so take it FWIW:
The Mikolo M4 2.0 is a significant upgrade over the 1.0, focusing on stability, smoother operation, and better versatility based on user feedback. Key improvements include 14-gauge steel (vs 17-gauge), 2-inch hole spacing, and linear bearing Smith machine.- Key Upgrades and Differences:
- Structure & Stability: The M4 2.0 uses stronger 14-gauge steel for improved rigidity compared to the 1.0.
- Smith Machine: The 2.0 Smith machine features linear bearings for a smoother, less frictional feel, along with solid guide rods, replacing the criticized, often "sticky" mechanism in the 1.0.
- Hole Spacing & Attachments: 2.0 features 2-inch hole spacing (down from 4-inch) for more precise attachment adjustments. It also includes improved sandwich J-hooks, a 3-in-1 pad attachment (thigh pad/footplate), and rear storage for attachments.
- Pulley System: The front pulleys on the 2.0 are raised higher, providing a better range of motion for lat pulldowns.
Based on what I've read, the 2.0 also added the storage cross bar around the lower rear of the unit, giving it two stability cross bars vs the 1.0's one stability cross bar. Based on the reviews, this minimizes the "wobble" that users of the 1.0 experience when lifting heavier weights. I've noticed the wobble with my 1.0 but nothing that concerns me of it's stability. That said I've never pushed more than 400lbs with it.
On the 1.0 you can invert the pullup bar to slope downwards if ceiling height is a concern. I don't know if this is true for the 2.0 or not.
The 2.0 also introduced a weight stack option, although I'm not sure if you can upgrade the non weight stack version to a weight stack version after the fact.

I bought the Mikolo M7 off Temu (on an unbranded basis) about 7 months ago (for ~$540, but the M7 is discontinued now) and it's been fantastic.
