I had three different cross trainers, who were all worn out after a few months. Apparently there is speculation here that the devices but end up in the closet or in the attic after a few months. Now must be found something reasonable, I thought. So I opted for this device - not least because of the 5-year warranty. However, for a fee-based maintenance must be carried out every 18 months. Well. The technique to the flywheel front is awesome. The training is very pleasant, smooth running, smoothly, or around .... perfect. However, it was not easy to assemble the device. Without gentle pressure from the rubber hammer it comes despite lubrication not - but that speaks for accuracy and quality. The cable to "verwurschteln" is not easy. Other criticisms: The Grip no pulse measuring tape feels uncomfortable to, thereby, power consumption, display with English abbreviations. These are little things, so still 5 stars. Addendum: Even after a few months of training with the device no rattles or other ailments. Still 5 points.
