Anders 5.3.2020 - cardiostrong Crosstrainer EX90 Plus Touch

The EX90 Plus Touch has its pros and cons. It gives you a good work-out, and its compact size and adjustable stride length makes it fit our home and family members. However, it lacks a bit of quality in some areas. It has a knob which allows you to lock and unlock the pedals. But on my EX90, I couldn’t turn the knob to fully unlock it, not without risking damaging the knob. What the knob actually does is controlling a wire which releases a brake on one of the wheels, and I had to take away the covers and release the brake manually, and then keep it unlocked to be able to even start using my EX90. Having a touch display and a set of apps is a great feature, but the software quality is a bit too low. The main problem is that it doesn’t keep the WiFi connection after being powered down, you’ll always need to re-connect manually when powering it up, so you always keep it powered to avoid that. But after using some apps for a while, a slider that takes you back to the main menu isn’t available any more, so you need to restart the cross-trainer, and then manually re-connect to your WiFi again. There are a lot of other small, but annoying, software problems too. The quality of the built-in loadspeakers is quite poor, and there’s no headphone jack or Bluetooth connection, so you actually tend to use your own iPad and place on top of the touch display. Therefore, if you really aren’t interested in the KinoMap app, a better choice would be to buy the EX90 Plus _without_ the touch display, and buy (or use) your own iPad instead. That being said, the KinoMap app is a bit of a killer app for me, it makes the work-out much more fun. So I’ll actually be nice, and give the EX90 Plus Touch a 3-star rating.

Mark 22.6.2018 - Octane elliptical cross trainer Q47xi

This expensive elliptical is one of the best purchases I've ever made. It is not merely an elliptical as it offers optional cross circuit training (which is worth the extra cost), the adjustable stride allows you target specific muscle groups, and with the various booster options you can nearly get a full body workout. It feels very natural and ergonomic and is very comfortable to use. When used with a tablet there are more than 70 training programs, which all have some customization options so you never get bored, and you can track your workouts. The software is not entirely without some glitches and it could look nicer, but it works well enough and adds value. Assembly is fairly easy but you do need some of your own tools. Workmanship is good and there are no squeaks or creaks, and it feels completely stable. It is not completely silent, as there is some "wooshing" track noise, some occasional flywheel noise and motor noise when you adjust stride or resistance, but it is not obtrusive and you can easily watch TV or listen to music while you exercise. The Q47xi is big, much bigger than you might think from pictures, so you should ensure you have enough space. It is also very, very heavy, so once you place it don't plan to easily move it again. Apart from the software I really cannot think of any way to improve this wonderful elliptical. Highly recommended.

Cardiostrong EX90 is a robust, quiet machine. Pedals are comfortable. Step is natural. There is one weak side here. If you use predefined programs, you can not reduce the resistance, just increase it. But for user defined program, it is possible That's why I give only 4 stars

I am a tall man - and it can be difficult to find fitness machines in my size - BUT the EX90 Plus works fantastic for me. The length of the steps are perfect and it really helps me to get back in shape - and hopefully lose weight at the same time. The cross trainer is very silent compared to other cross trainers I have used - very good for private use. It was easy to put together - even though it took a little longer than described. Can recommend the EX90 Plus - for me it's a good buy.

Perfecte beweging, heb een aantal crosstrainers gehad maar geen enkele komt in de buurt van deze . Wat een super beweging!

Abraham Rubinstein 27.2.2017 - Taurus elliptical cross trainer X7.1

This is my first elliptical trainer (actually, even the first time I use one) and I could not be happier! The quality is comparable to that of a professional device that you can find in gyms. It's really quiet and it glides like you're walking on clouds. I started working out with this thing about 3 weeks ago and I have already lost more than 2 Kg.

compact, stands next to my computer table gives the feeling of freedom; it is not just for running, you can stretch and develop muscles that are not touched by ellipse and treadmill workouts - expensive

Wat is dit een enorm vet apparaat. Gespot op GamesCon in Duitsland. Daar werd hij gebruikt om mee te gamen! De manier waarop dat daarmee gecombineerd kon worden is subliem! In plaats van zittend gamen, doe ik dat nu lopend!! veelzijdig, elektrisch instelbaar, geschikt voor lange mensen, mooi design. Hij is als je alleen bent lastig te verplaatsen als je weinig ruimte hebt maar met 2 personen is dat probleem verholpen
