A replacement had to be so, and I have decided after a long struggle for professional equipment. Caveat: The purchase was made not from Amazon, but on ebay. I bought a reduced demonstration. The elliptical machine was within three days since - top!
Buying I have no regrets. All materials are very high and stable. With my old cheap elliptical machine by design wiggled the main arm with the onboard computer, which was connected only by a screw to the frame. The arm of Maxxus is bolted solid steel and multiply. Here varies and rattles nothing.
General I have needed to build about 90 minutes. Who has some technical skill and can assemble a cabinet from the hardware store is the Maxxusgerät also completed.
The mechanism requires regular maintenance acc. Maintenance schedule in this manual. Every few months the moving parts should be greased (for grease Erstfettung located at). For the sliding plates I ordered silicone spray. This should be applied on a regular basis and not included.
The unit runs smoothly with no noise, on-board computer offers lots of programs. The 16 resistance levels are very sophisticated and not at all comparable to a cheap device.
It is advisable to use the Maxxus a Brustpulsgurt. Because here you have a more accurate measurement and is at any time warned of the device when overused his heart. In addition, the heart rate belt allows other programs, such as an assessment of the device, in which physical condition you are in.
It should be noted that the included Polarbrustgurt has no replaceable battery. This means that after one year, a new purchase is due. Since my demo no belt was included, I decided for a Sigmagurt, where the battery is replaceable. Here you will have more of what and are cheaper in the long run. The Sigma also works with the device.
The only downer:
- How to route the cables from the onboard computer so that no cable clutter and creates no cable is out looking beyond me and the manual here keeps a low profile. I have the on-board computer now secured with two screws at the top instead of four screws, so that the cable is not pinched.
- The instructions also strongly adheres back at the program description - here just listening to the advantage of the gym (personal consultation and support) on.
- The forwarding of company Maxxus supplies only to curb. The packages with 60 kg weight are difficult to deal with a person because very bulky. If you are not at home to second when the unit is delivered it is recommended an additional service to book (transport to the home). We had extra a service for 45.00 booked by the forwarding but blew. We immediately get a refund of company Maxxus - Customer top.
- The power connector is located blöderweise front panel. Whoever puts his instrument with a view into the room to GNP. Watch TV, must necessarily lay an extension cord. Why you do not put the cable to the back I do not understand.
Conclusion;
- Sophisticated top device with numerous functions
- Good price / performance ratio - creaks not, does not wobble, does not crack
- Be sure to consider how to unwind the receipt of goods
- Order Absolutely lubricant for the sliding plates to
- With chest strap you train healthier.
