Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Marcy MD9010 Smith Cage Machine is the number one pick in our best Smith machines guide. It is a home gym system that combines a Smith machine, a cable pulley system, and an adjustable weight bench. The listing shows a 4.5-star rating from 1,110 reviews and a price of £1,299.00.
The standout finding in this listing is the load numbers. The bullet points claim a 136 kg Smith press and a 272 kg adjustable weight bench. But the 'Tension Supported' spec says 300 pounds, which is about 136 kg. Meanwhile, the machine itself weighs 169 kg. So the bench capacity is double the Smith press capacity, and the 'Tension Supported' figure matches the lower number. The model number is listed as MD-9010, though the item type name says MD-9010G. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“OK, so delivery was earlier than stated, it comes on a pallet in 3 boxes. There are a lot of parts, some big some small. Don't expect this to be a quick job, took me all day and I am a Mechanical Engineer, but the end result was worth all the effort.The picture shows some chains for the cross fly's these are not included, but i went on to the suppliers web site and ordered for next to nothing.Am I happy with the package? yes very. Been using it every day and have cancelled my gym membership, will have a simple payback period of 2 years, so for me it will also save me money.”
Verified purchase“I love this machine. Use it 4-5 times/week. I consider myself handy (I installed mini-split HVACs myself, build a garage including doors, but this is not worth your time. I hired a pro to assemble it, it took him 4 hours. To speed up the process, before assembly, I moved the 3 boxes from the driveway delivery point to the finished basement, AND took out all the parts and removed the plastic protective sleeve surrounding each piece. That took me 2 hours alone. You've been warned. The Machine? 10 of 10.”
