Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Marcy SM-4033 is a Smith machine cage system. The listing bundles a Smith machine, power rack, cable crossover, pull-up station and an adjustable weight bench, plus a lat bar, triceps rope, dip handles, landmine post and curl pad, and describes the frame as 3x3 inch 14-gauge tubing. It places third in our guide to Smith machines for the home, costs £1,999.00, and carries 4.5 out of 5 from 362 ratings.
The numbers are where this entry gets awkward. The only load figure in the whole spec table is a Maximum Weight Recommendation of 300 lb, about 136 kg — even though the bullets promise "commercial-grade durability at home". The field labelled Tension Supported, the spot where a machine's load claim normally sits, contains one word: 'tall'. There is no tension figure in pounds or kilograms anywhere in this listing. The dimension line does not settle much either: 2.12D x 2.19W x 1.72H metres, with an item weight of 63.5 kg, and no note saying whether that height covers the cage with the pull-up station on top, the bench, or a packed box. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for the Marcy SM-4033, not from any test of our own.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Tardó en llegar, difícil de montar si no eres especialmente habilidoso o lo intentas sólo. Con dos personas se monta mucho mejor y si te ayudas con el vídeo del montaje, con paciencia la montas bien.Tras llevar dos meses entrenando con ella y someterla a cargas medias a elevadas, responde muy bien hasta la fecha. Las poleas a priori parece que soportan pesos importantes, pero hay que engrasarlas porque si le pones poca carga se quedan atascadas en los rodines. Le doy la máxima puntuación porque cumple, de momento, todas mis expectativas, aún manejando cargas elevadas; ni un solo crujido o tambaleo de la misma.Por ponerle un pero: la jaula es enorme montada, por lo que debes tener buen espacio (+ 20 metros cuadrados) si quieres entrenar sin sentirte agobiado ni darte golpes con la barra fija. El banco es grande también y algo pesado, pero resistente al peso del usuario(peso 100 kilos más el peso que le meta a las mancuernas o a los presses); levantándolo bien se transporta de maravilla con las ruedas que lleva.”
Verified purchase“Muy completo, permite poner y quitar elementos para personalizar el entrenamiento. Ahora bien, requiere un espacio considerable para poder disfrutarlo.Lleva un tiempo montarlo todo, y es fácil equivocarse. Yo tardé una semana en hacerlo, y tuve que rehacer varias cosas, luego descubrí que hay vídeos en YouTube que te llevan de la mano paso a paso. Una llave de carraca (de varios tamaños!) es esencial.Al montarlo se da uno cuenta de lo brillante que es el diseño, y lo bien fabricado que está.”
