I know that bowflex is probably a bad word here but I've been looking to add an all in one to my home gym. I have an assault bike elite, 80lb nuobells and bench, and 2" assault ropes, but I feel like I'm missing something.
I had been debating both the Bowflex M9 (hiit elliptical) and the Revolution (all in one), both which can be found cheap and barely used. I guess people buy them and they collect dust.
Any reviews on either of these and other all in one recommendations appreciated.

Not an All in one but almost--get a quality rowing machine and a Jaquish X3 bar setup. Takes up really no extra room. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the X3 LINK

you would be better off getting a set of gymnastic rings, bands and pullup bar or even possibly a barbell setup with squat stands but if you want an all in one, the powertech lever gym is a much better product than bowflex.
personally i hated the bowflex, kind of like bands but way worse. before i got that i would just get handles and a bar for bands.

The Bowflex Max Trainers are nice. I wouldn't spend the money on the revolution though. Why not a compact cage with barbell?

Ok I just looked these up. This is what I'm looking for. This would complement the rest of what I have. Appreciate it. These look badass.

I picked up a nearly new M9 yesterday after I posted this thread. Used it last night and it wrecked my shite. Loving it so far.

I don't disagree with on the weight training style equipment, especially after seeing that Powertec, but their Max Trainers have really good reviews. And the M9 I picked up yesterday is a very solid machine, not cheap feeling at all.
I'm excited about getting the Powertec and completing my home gym setup.
Anyone remember the Gazelle thing? Now that's the one you should have posted.

So now I'm changing gears I think. I've been looking at smith machine cages too instead of stack machines.
I like the Marcy SM-4033 but it's expensive. Any thoughts on these?

if you are going to do all this why not just get a barbell and a folding wall rack? opens up way way more exercises with the accessory add ons.

I have the room for a cage, and the ease of it already being built into the Marcy is something I'd prefer.

i think long term you would be much happier with a power cage then that is 3x3. can add a ton of accessories(including a smith attachment) and it opens you up for a lot more variety than any smith machine can, especially a home model like the marcy.
just my opinion.

Buy a decent cage with whatever attachments you might want. That Marcy thing won't make it very long.
