Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've had this Machine for about 2 yrs. now, My Wife and I use it on an avg.of 1hr sessions 3x weekly. The Machine worked as advertise however, my biggest gripe is the maintenance aspect of it. After about a year of regularly schedule use of our Treadclimber I was forced to buy parts for it. Now I don't mind doing routine mantenance in order to keep things running @ a 100%, but this thing is rediculous. I've purchased Hydraulics for our Treadclimber twice sense I had the darn thing. Mind you I have just made my 2nd year anniversary from purchase date and as I said earlier My Wife and I average a 1hr workout 3x a week. My current Height is 5:9 and my Weight is 205 lbs w/ muscle and my wife is 5:0 ft. and 50 lbs lighter than I am. So we are well within standards for use of the Machine. Now with that said I have spent approx. $250.00 and X amount hours repairing it. All of the new parts have been properly installed and I am having the darnest time reseting the Hydraulics to work with my actual weight. I have come to the conclusion that these parts aren't the same as the Factory one's, so I am constantly setting the dials ea. time I use it. This makes for a very un-happy Consumer. I haven't had this many problems w/ a $350.00 Treadmill from Walmart that lasted a year longer than this Treadclimber without the need for repairs. I can't recommend this product for those who crunch time to try and fit in a workout. There are way to many distractions with this product that involves repairs, Just the effort to workout should be enough. I now use this $2300.00 Treadclimber as an after thought. My Wife and I enjoy the Wii Active workout in place of this thing and we only spent $300.00 total for it.
