Ritfit m1 pro vs mikolo m4: which smith machine home gym wins

Quick verdict

The RitFit M1 Pro and Mikolo M4 2.0 are both smith machine home gym packages that combine a smith bar, rack, and cable pulley system in one frame. The RitFit M1 Pro starts at $2,459.99 and offers Pink or Black color choices with weight stack sets. The Mikolo M4 2.0 starts lower, at $1,999.99, and leads with a dual pulley functional trainer, 34 laser-cut upright positions and dedicated attachment storage.

If budget is the deciding factor, the Mikolo M4 2.0 costs $460 less at entry (our calculation: $2,459.99 − $1,999.99 = $460.00). If color choice and higher weight-stack bundles matter more, the RitFit M1 Pro has more variant paths, up to $3,299.99.

Specs side by side

Both machines are sold as home gym packages rather than bare racks, meaning the price includes a smith bar, cable pulleys, and (in most variants) plates or a weight stack. The table below lists only what each maker page states.

Price and value (our calculation)

The RitFit M1 Pro is sold in six main price tiers, all under the “Pink” color family but split by Pink or Black frame finish and by what plates or weight stack are bundled. The base Weight Stack Set runs $2,459.99 in either Pink or Black. Adding 260lbs of plates pushes the price to $2,999.99, and adding 320lbs of plates brings it to $3,299.99. A separate variant, No Weight Stack+260lbs Plates, is listed at $2,099.99 in either color — this is actually the cheapest RitFit M1 Pro configuration in this comparison, $360.00 below the Weight Stack Set base price (our calculation: $2,459.99 − $2,099.99 = $360.00).

The Mikolo M4 2.0 is sold in three color/handle combinations (Black frame with Black or Red handles, Red Limited Edition frame with Black or Red handles), each offered with a 230LB Set or 260LB Set. Every 230LB Set variant is priced at $1,999.99 and listed in stock. Every 260LB Set variant is priced at $2,099.99 but listed as not available at the time checked. That means the only purchasable Mikolo M4 2.0 configurations right now are the $1,999.99 230LB Set options.

Comparing lowest available price to lowest available price, Mikolo’s $1,999.99 beats RitFit’s cheapest in-stock option of $2,099.99 (No Weight Stack+260lbs Plates) by $100.00 (our calculation). Comparing top-of-range price, RitFit’s $3,299.99 variant is $1,300.00 more than Mikolo’s highest in-stock price of $1,999.99 (our calculation), but that RitFit price includes 320lbs of plates bundled in, which the Mikolo listing does not offer at any price point.

Build and capacity

Neither maker page lists a maximum smith bar load, frame steel gauge, or user weight capacity, so no capacity comparison can be made here. What is listed differs in the type of resistance each machine offers beyond the smith bar itself.

The RitFit M1 Pro lists a “Smooth Cable Crossover System” and a “Professional Smith Attachment System,” which points to a single cable pulley system layered onto the smith rack. The Mikolo M4 2.0 lists an “Independent Dual Pulley Functional Trainer (2:1 Ratio),” meaning two separate pulley systems that let two people train at once without interference, or let one person superset without resetting cables.

The Mikolo M4 2.0 also lists upgraded J-hooks described as “Sandwich Round J-Hooks” with deeper, rounded cups, and a “Knurled Multi-Grip Pull-Up Bar” for wide, narrow, and neutral grip work. The RitFit page does not list J-hook or pull-up bar details, so no comparison is possible on those points — only that RitFit’s listing is silent where Mikolo’s is specific.

Footprint and space

Neither maker page lists exact footprint dimensions (length, width, or height), so this article cannot state square footage for either machine. What the Mikolo page does state is a design claim: “All-in-One Compact Design: Smith machine, power rack, functional trainer, and landmine all in one small footprint—perfect for saving space at home.” This is the maker’s own framing, not a measured figure, and is presented here as a quote rather than a fact you can plan a room around.

Before buying either machine, measure your ceiling height and available floor clearance around the rack, since neither listing gives numbers to check against. For general smith machine vs power rack footprint guidance, see our related smith machine vs power rack comparison and best freestanding squat stands for apartments if space is tight.

Features and attachments

The Mikolo M4 2.0 lists more built-in storage and attachment features than the RitFit M1 Pro page does. It includes “Top Hooks for Small Accessories” to hang tricep ropes, cable bars and handles overhead, plus a “Rear Storage Tube for Large Attachments” for J-hooks, spotters and dip bars. It also lists “Dedicated Thin Plate Storage” so plates don’t interfere with cable or smith bar paths, and a “2-in-1 Leg Roller & Foot Plate” that swaps between lat pulldown thigh lock and seated row foot brace.

Both machines list an optional weight stack path. Mikolo’s is described as an “Optional Weight Stack Add-On” that switches from plate-loaded resistance to a quick-adjust stack at 60kg per side. RitFit builds weight stacks directly into its variant names — “Weight Stack Set” is the base tier, with 260lbs or 320lbs plate bundles as step-ups, rather than a separate add-on purchase.

Neither maker page lists a landmine attachment, dip attachment or barbell storage rack as a stated inclusion, though buyers wanting those extras separately can check our guides to landmine attachment options, best dip attachment picks and best barbell storage if either machine doesn’t cover those needs out of the box.

Warranty

Neither maker page lists a stated warranty term for the RitFit M1 Pro or the Mikolo M4 2.0. Neither maker page in the sources provided includes warranty language, so this comparison cannot state coverage length, parts coverage, or labor terms for either machine. Contact each maker directly before purchase to confirm current warranty terms, since none appear in the checked pages.

Choose A (RitFit M1 Pro) if

• You want a pink or black frame color choice, since RitFit lists both at the same $2,459.99 starting price.
• You want the highest weight-stack bundle available, the $3,299.99 Weight Stack Set+320lbs Plates variant.
• You want plates bundled into the purchase price rather than buying a separate add-on later.

Choose B (Mikolo M4 2.0) if

• You want the lowest entry price, $1,999.99 for the 230LB Set.
• You want a dual pulley functional trainer for two-person training or superset work without cable resets.
• You want built-in storage — top hooks, a rear storage tube, and dedicated thin plate storage — without buying separate racks.

Other options

This comparison covers only the RitFit Pink M1 PRO Multi-Functional Smith Machine Home Gym Package and the Mikolo M4-2.0 Ultra Essential Package. No other smith machine or rack products appear in this comparison, so this article cannot recommend a third option from maker data here. For a broader look at smith machines and power racks outside this pair, see best power racks, smith machine vs power rack, and our existing RitFit M1 Pro smith machine review and Major Fitness F22 review for machines covered elsewhere on this site. You can also compare full rack systems in Bells of Steel Hydra vs REP PR-5000 and Titan T-3 vs X-3 power rack, or browse rack accessories in best rack attachments and best spotter arms.

Setup and safety

Neither maker page lists assembly time, tools required, or weight of the shipped crates, so plan for a multi-hour assembly with a second person regardless of which machine you pick. Smith machines carry a fixed bar path, which changes how a bar moves compared to a free-weight rack — read the smith machine bar weight guide before loading either machine so you know how much the bar itself contributes to your working weight.

Check that J-hooks and spotter arms (where listed, as on the Mikolo M4) are locked into their upright slot before loading plates, and inspect cable pulleys and pins before each session. Any electrical work for a home gym room, such as adding outlets for equipment, should go to a licensed electrician rather than a DIY fix.

If you’re stacking either machine into a garage or spare room, see best gym flooring for mat options under a smith machine’s footprint, and dumbbell rack or best home gym equipment if you’re building out the rest of the room around either pick.

This comparison is based on maker specs, prices and published information from the RitFit and Mikolo product pages checked on 2026-09-23. Prices and stock status change; confirm current figures on the maker’s site before buying. For how this site checks and sources facts, see how we research.

Bottom line

Pick the Mikolo M4 2.0 if price and built-in dual pulley functional training matter most — it starts $460.00 lower than RitFit’s base Weight Stack Set and $100.00 lower than RitFit’s cheapest available variant (our calculation). Pick the RitFit M1 Pro if you want a color choice between Pink and Black, or the option to bundle 260lbs or 320lbs of plates directly into the purchase at prices up to $3,299.99. Neither maker page lists warranty terms or footprint dimensions, so confirm both directly with the maker before buying.
