MaxiClimber Reviews
As Seen on TV exercise equipment is not always met with the most positive response, often labeled as cheap or over-hyped. With MaxiClimber, however, we found most of the claims in the advertising to be genuine and backed by our experience in using the product. The product delivers a solid workout, and takes up a small amount of space, unlike bikes and other gym equipment. We give it props for easy assembly and a price point below many other steppers that can cost into the thousands. Customer satisfaction runs high, with a 4.5-star rating at Amazon, although its B rating from the BBB in mid-2015 fell to an F Rating by January 2016 (and the listing has been completely removed by December 2016). The rating is due to MaxiClimber’s failure to respond to complaints filed against the business.
Our only complaint is that the machine tends to feel a bit wobbly on carpeted floors, and in fact their FAQ states that it does need to be used on a hard surface.
Reviews culled from various online sources show an overall consumer satisfaction level of 4+ stars. As of January 2016, MaxiClimber ranks at 4 stars at Walmart with a 93% rating, 4.5 stars at Sears, 4 stars at QVC, and 3.5 stars at Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Similar Products
While there are a wealth of steppers available, there are not as many which sport the same design as MaxiClimber. Perhaps the closest is the Conquer Vertical Climber Fitness Climbing Machine, which holds a 4-star rating on Amazon and can be found for as low as $130.
Epic Conclusion
We found MaxiClimber to be a rare As Seen on TV exercise product which lives up to the hype, providing a solid workout at a reasonable price. Consumer reviews on various websites appear to agree with our mostly-positive assessment.
