Nice if you get a non-defective version
UPDATE:
We did finally get replacement parts after months of waiting. They shipped the wrong parts several times but then finally got it right.
It is a very good machine for working out now that we have it fixed. It is a better machine than all of the other climbers on the market that are for residential use.
The main difference that matters in a practical sense when comparing this machine to a Versaclimber is that the hydraulic resistance does not allow for as low a resistance level. That is, it makes it easier than the lowest setting on the Versaclimber or the Stamina Cardio Climber. For the money it is a good machine, but if you want to spend a bit more and get something closer to a Versaclimber the Stamina Cardio Climber is great. We got ours from Amazon for only $689.00.
-------------------------------------------------------
We found we had a defective version of the Maxiclimber. They removed the xl 1000 off the market due to design defects and do not stand behind their warranty or product. After repeated requests for over four months for replacement parts we have yet to receive the correct parts. We then asked for a replacement machine and they refused, even knowing about the design defects of that model of machine that has been discontinued.
The products this company ships that fail are not supported if you discover the issue after 30 days. In particular, they will say if you got their product from Amazon, that you must deal with Amazon since they have no obligation to help you. (I have a record of them on the call saying this explicitly.)
You would be advised to get the Amazon offered warranty if you take the chance on purchasing these items.
