adidas X-21FD Cross Trainer

Bought in February after scrolling through reviews looking to make sure I get something to last (previous proform elliptical lasted 9 years) and this Adidas seemed to be the one, unfortunately it lasted until June before becoming unusable. Awaiting repair or replacement through warranty but worried once fixed it may fail again once out of warranty.

Update* (11 Months) Horrible, Heart Rate Monitor doesn't read beyond 70, Bluetooth Speakers inaudible Wheels have been replaced 3 times do to cracks and deterioration. The Axle / Fly wheel Spindle bolt has been been sheared in half (replaced ) The Right Leg pivot bolt just shared in half. (Just remembered this is the second time this bolt has been sheared in two from normal wear and tear 🤦🏾‍♂️) Don't buy saved your money and a constant headache. (Customer Service has been unbelievably awesome 👍) This is a 2 Month review(Used 6 times a week for 30mins to 1hr) Overall 2.5/ 5. And 4/ 5 when every actual works Pros Good Resistance Smooth Strides Whisper Quiet(When you apply Grease to rails, not provided) Good Weight Capacity (I'm 300lbs/136Kgs and has held up well) Good Stride Length (I'm 5’9 and my knee is ~6in/15cm below my waist at the highest point and fully extended at the bottom) Cons Screen doesn't always come on or stay on.(If you tap the screen i.e placing your phone or tablet on the stand too hard the bottom metrics will turn off.) No additional grease added for rails (Though the instructions says it does) Hand Heart Rate Monitor doesn't work correctly(It never registers my heart rate above 72bpm even though my Fitbit could have me at 167bpm) The Adidas Chest Heart Rate Monitor doesn't work properly(Same at the the handles) The 3W Blue speakers are some of the lowest sound fidelity I've ever heard. Just use another source for sound. Nitpicking It does have a very slightly rock when going above 7.5kkph( I noticed it in the promo video, so it was expected) Nothing to be concerned at. The step height( Stepping on the equipment) is around 19in/48cm at the highest and 9in/23cm at the lowest. (It was difficult the first few times for my mother age 60s but she's use to it now). It had a knocking sound after 2wks but stopped after 4wks and hasn't returned.( Hopefully no a ticking time bomb) I would recommend with caution of there previous stated issues and if on sell( Google has a price tracker if search “X-21df”. Getting a 22lbs flywheel that helps deliver smooth strides is very close to commercial gym equipment.

I love this machine. It’s sturdy and durable. Speakers aren’t great though.

Took me about 5 hours to put together after being sent a wrong item in the first place when I ordered the elliptical. Once I tried it, the console didn’t work. Tried contacting Amazon support and they gave terrible service. Overall the treadmill is not good quality based on the money I paid and Amazon support is a joke for not helping
