Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Major Fitness Drone2 is an all-in-one Smith machine: a power cage with a Smith bar, dual lat pull-down, cable crossover and pull-up station, plus an aluminium pulley set. It is listed at £2,541.28 and takes eighth place in our guide to Smith machines, holding a 4.5 out of 5 from 268 ratings.
The number worth reading twice on this listing is the load. The spec table claims "Tension Supported: 2000 lbs" — around 907 kg — while the same table gives the machine's own weight as 46.3 kg and its dimensions as 12.5D x 22W x 207H cm. A 12.5 cm depth is shorter than the barbell you would be loading, let alone one carrying 907 kg. Set that against the Marcy MD-9010 further down the same guide, which declares 136 kg on the Smith press and weighs 169 kg: 3.7 times the steel of the Drone2 for a sixth of the stated load. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing and the customer reviews on it. We have not assembled, loaded or tested this machine.
