Kettler Home Exercise/Fitness Equipment: AXOS CROSS P Elliptical Trainer

I bought this AXOS CROSS P Elliptical Trainer (model# 7648-900) specifically because of its robust design. It's compact but heavy enough -- 130lbs. -- to stay steady and stable in use. (And I weigh 280lbs.) I don't understand why reviewers say this unit has no levelers (or rollers); it most certainly does. Obviously, there have been revisions. It says so right in the product description: "Transport castors make relocating simple and built-in levelers on base adjust to uneven floors." Anyway, I'm well satisfied with the performance of this machine. My only gripe is that it took me 3hrs. to assemble! (However, I'm old, obese and have a bad back.)

I owned a Kettler Cross Trainer similar to this one in the past but the quality was much better. This one will do but not pleased really. Main issue is it wobbles a bit when using it. I put it together myself so went back and tightened everything up and checked the foot pads and everything else I could think of but it still wobbles. The problem is the wobble comes from the enclosed flywheel, which is pre-assembled and not something I can access. I'm 6'1" and about 195lbs but it even wobbles a bit when my wife uses it. So it gives it a slightly unstable feeling when using it, seems to be okay otherwise. Also the plastic cover over the flywheel rubs slightly against the exterior housing. Not terrible but it's just an annoyance that comes around each time the flywheel completes a rotation, sounds cheap and it is. Hopefully it holds up and provides a good workout. I expected more from Kettler.

Non ha mai funzionato. Le viti sono troppo deboli, si allentano ogni volta che viene usata, dopo poco le viti si rompono all'interno e non si riescono più a sostituire. Dopo un anno in cui è stata usata al massimo quattro mesi è da buttare. Bravi.

Great home exercise kit. The item is packaged well. On unboxing, the finish of the parts was found to be excellent. The assembly instructions were well indicated and i needed only an hour to finish off the assembly with just a spanner and screwdriver. The product is robust and absolutely noiseless. The user manual is one of the best i have seen. During its usage i started to appreciate its exquisite features and exercise prefed regimes. My recommendation - its an exceptional choice for beginners and pros..just go for it.

Not worth it. I had to pay an extra £100 to put it together because it was so complicated to do. Also, the screws started getting loose after a few time of using it. This should be much cheaper for the quality it has.

Habe das Gerät für etwa die Hälfte des Listenpreises bei Amazon gekauft (lag vielleicht an der einzigen schlechten Bewertung). Für das Geld absolut empfehlenswert.Zum Gerät: super stabile Ausführung (Kettler-Qualität), Computer erfüllt Erwartungen, Training macht SpaßZum Aufbau: man sollte etwas handwerkliche Erfahrung und auch entsprechendes Werkzeug haben. Der Aufbau dauert seine Zeit und ist nicht trivial. Macht man hier Fehler (Schrauben, Muttern vertauschen, ...) oder hat schlechtes Werkzeug, kann das Ergebnis enttäuschen. Nach einigen Trainingseinheiten muss man manche Schrauben nachziehen, sonst macht der Crosstrainer beim Training Geräusche.Fazit: Wenn man es sich zutraut ein massives Gerät, das einiges wiegt, stabil und fachgerecht aufzubauen, bekommt man für das Geld einen guten Crosstrainer.

It was shipped with the incorrect adapter. Rectified after multiple phone calls about a week later. Nine months into usage (approx 3 times a week) the resistance setting stopped working. Repeated mails and calls to Grand Slam Fitness have no result. Looks like I have to junk this equipment.
