To sum up: the CX 6.1 you do as a buyer everything right. The machine is extremely stable, very well suited for heavier athletes, the customer service is excellent Maxxus. With cardio equipment that you use regularly and ambitious, not save! If you like to read more, here please: I have some cardio equipment the price range up to 400 worn even in home gym and wants to discourage, especially if you are big and heavy (in my case, 190cm, 107 kg KFA 12%). In an ergometer this would possibly still possible to access low-cost versions, since here only takes place a rotational movement with elliptical machine and treadmill, the body weight must be permanently supported and cushioned by the device. Here you realize that the CX really owns Studio Quality, nothing wobbles or creaks. In the first turns slightly tensions on production and assembly building, then adjusts the. Good grease, the grease supplied is sufficient for several applications. Since you had not so easily ran comes after mounting the covers, do not skimp here. The structure is simple, the manual describes very well, the enclosed tool is perfectly adequate and the screws very well labeled. You should take some time for it. Practical: Load USB port on cockpit for mobile. Makes sense if you use Bluetooth headset with longer units. The mobile phone holder accepts devices to about 7cm width. Also order or obtain silicone spray, who want to start the same, this is (1x weekly) on the slide rails. That you can not create user profiles, do not bother me. In the selection of training programs, the age entry for the maximum heart rate is always in demand, but that goes quickly and the age entered last will be saved. Weight and gender is neglected (except in KFA-determination), but the calculated kcal consumption fits very well in comparison with other devices. Here is probably assumed that heavy users have more muscles and accordingly train with higher wattage. Anyway, it fits as a guide and is also as mentioned in the instructions. The stride should be about too large for users under 160cm. If in doubt, measure the length while jogging. The Elipsenbewegung is very natural and pleasant and resembles much more the natural running motion than do smaller elliptical machine with rear mounted flywheel is the case. These remind me more of stair climber, the flat ellipse when CX simulates a very realistic running motion, but without shock impact. So a real alternative or change to the treadmill, even with hinge or spinal disease. Who warranty on the five years emphasis: this only applies if every 18 months of service performed by the Maxxus-sales force. The cost and who would like to save, it should for the entire service life with Anticipated. However, the Maxxus team answers any questions quickly and professionally. It is a quality device and it needs now times as the car care. This is still the cheaper alternative to buying a cheap device, which is then discarded after two years. So from my side absolute recommendation, what quality, optics (the CX's huge and looks very high quality of), feel and customer concerns.
