Satisfied 5

My first cross trainer for the home. I like him from the technical / sporting function and the stability impression very good.
Delivery by forwarding went smoothly.
Packaging was perfectly fine.
The building takes a while, but is easily done with a bit of "IKEA experience" on the basis of good assembly instructions.
The device is well suited for our rather narrow, long basement room, also because it is very good back and heart Uschi just by 2 rolls.
We have placed a protective floor mat for fitness equipment of any discounter underneath. Works well.
In operation it is very quiet (where my comparison to other devices lacking).
When using he "left front" sometimes cracked. According to the manual may be due to too firmly tightened screws. I got the screw in the corresponding area slightly eased and now it seems no longer to crack.
Actually, everything well ...
but why then yet only 4 stars?

1. No Tablet holder!
Yes, I know: that is not well advertised by the manufacturer, but I thought that would have dranschrauben any universal mount.

My previous corresponding experiments with the following mounts have been unsuccessful:
- "Adam Hall Stands SMS14 Universal Apple iPad / 2 holder for microphone stands" - terminal too narrow
- "Xcellent Global Lazy flexible desk table 360 ​​degrees-360 Desktop Stand Lazy Bed Tablet Holder Mount for iPad Samsung Air 5 Black" - too shaky falling gooseneck construction because of the significant equipment vibration during exercise, the clamped Tablet threatens the clamping connection could Loosen ... (which should in my estimation, are valid for all gooseneck constructions)
- "Micromount i-tab 1 Stand for iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPad 4 80cm to 130cm Ultraflex gooseneck 360 ° plate" - height of 130 cm is not enough to look away on Tablet from elliptical machine via the device display; a corresponding maximum height wise so far as appears to the other stand constructions, which also excrete so

Soon I will "absorbing gray iBallz original shock dishes for Tablet" try, if indeed becomes available again. If so what is going on, I would nachberichten here.
Why you even need a tablet holder? Because the work on such a machine - especially for those who are used in the open air training / running / was - but it is pretty boring. Even the manufacturer in the operating manual then that one but a bit Watching television may wish to pass the time during training. At my request to a tablet holder of the manufacturer but only said that they had no such offer. Tips to third parties were not given.
Streaming from your tablet or smartphone on the TV might be a solution, since it but are so many providers who does not allow (Sky Go), is tablet for me the solution of choice (currently?) Unfortunately does not go. ..

2. It will beep!
When pulse-controlled training the unit over and repeated beeps when the heart rate is above the target level.
When training with headphones no problem. If you watch television during which, just annoying!
Why does it have to beep at all, is unclear. The machine automatically reduces in the target heart rate exceeded the braking stage, so that the pulse is virtually reduced by technical means and the exercisers do not want to be notified about yes / needs: he noted anyway that the train is lighter and can, moreover, at any time informed by looking at the display of the current pulse.
At least one should could exhibit the beep, but why in the manual nothing is mentioned.

Incidentally, I can the device in any case for those who want to use any tablet during training and who do not want to work with the pulse-controlled training or can not be disturbed by beeps, thoroughly recommend.
For advice about "Tablet holder" or "beep off" I am grateful.
