Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Strongway Multi Gym Smith Machine is an all-in-one home station: a Smith machine, a dual cable pulley system with a weight stack on each side, a rear high/low pulley and a butterfly chest station. It sits at number 4 in our guide to Smith machines, sells for £1,495.95 and carries a 4.7 rating from 38 Amazon ratings.
What the listing cannot agree on is its own load limit. One spec field reads "Tension Supported: 265.5KG". A bullet in the same listing reads "Weight capacity of 350KG". That is an 84.5kg gap between two figures describing the same machine, and 265.5 happens to be exactly three times the 88.5KG stack that two separate bullets repeat. The same listing calls the machine "compact" while giving dimensions of 1.7m depth, 2.15m width and 2.23m height and 170 kg of item weight. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon product listing, not from a machine we have assembled or tested.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I've done a few workouts on this now and it's brilliant. A really sturdy bit of kit 💪🏼 so much flexibility of use and I LOVE it.The assembly instructions require a bit of thinking, but aren't too difficult. I do with there was an Idiot's Guide to installing the cable, but I did work it out.HOWEVER, I wish it had said the overall footprint of the machine before I started, and reminded me to leave a gap at the back for the Olympic Bar rest..! I had shoved mine up against the wall of the garage and it's now impossible to move without dismantling, as adding the rests is one of the final steps and I can't slide it on the rubber flooring (which was obviously deliberate for safety). So, please remember to leave space at the back! Similarly, I installed this off-centre in my garage due to some shelving... I was about an inch short to the left so I couldn't physically slide the length of the squat bar in! I had to partially dismantle the top of the machine and use some brute force to put it in - and now I can't remove it easily, obviously 😅 If you have a narrow space, please consider how you'll get the pole in horizontal BEFORE you start building, and adjust your room positioning before you add the weights. If you are in a standard UK garage, being in the centre of the garage narrow wall should be ok - just! I hope this review saves someone the frustration I experienced during build haha. Enjoy!”
Verified purchase“This is a lovely gym set it has everything you need and more wasn't that hard to put together but just remember it's heavy so once you build it you won't be able to move it without other people but it works and makes working out feel better so I am happy with it will update after I've had it a few more months”
