Hello guys,
I have a machine like this at home currently is not working but I was thinking on getting it fixed, would it be enough to get fit at home or would you suggest something else I should get?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Looks like it doesn't have any way to train legs so you should probably get something extra for that. Legs are hard to train with just bodyweight because the muscles are too strong and don't get exhausted from just the weight of your body.
Can you pull the handles in the middle towards you in a rowing motion, or is it just for pushing? If not, you need some way to train your back also. Maybe back extension would work as a bodyweight exercise.
Hey I couldn't find a picture of the things you can do with that I shared particularly but I found one that's similar and these are the type of stuff you seem to be able to do.
Great, you have both back and leg exercises there then, with leg raise and chest flies. I'm wondering if it also allows leg curl, so you can train the other side of the thigh also.
You might want to add in bodyweight exercises in your routine to get a full body exercise. Like plank or situps for core, which I don't see any way to train with the machine.
Pic shows a pretty clear leg raise and lat pulldown as you find standard on these types of machines
