The Word on the Street

UPDATE: As of 2021 it looks like Kettler is no longer making ellipticals. They used to have at least half a dozen models available for sale on the company website but now there is only one, the RIVO 4, and it's out of stock.

The superior construction and engineering found on the Kettler Unix M elliptical trainer is the same used in the more advanced models from Kettler. Similar features include a heavy flywheel and a Poly-V belt for silent operation, sealed ball bearings at all important pivot joints, and a high carbon steel frame capable of holding users weighing up to 330 pounds.

Other features include a 16" stride length and footplates that glide 19" along the elliptical path, 10 variable resistance levels, textured no-slip footplates that adjust to three different elliptical motions, The “Q” factor which measures the width of the pedal spacing is 7.5" for maximum comfort.

The Kettler Unix M display shows heart rate monitoring for pulse and a percentage of your maximum heart rate. You can monitor your heart rate three different ways: by holding on to the contact sensors on the handlebars, using the wired Infrared earlobe clip, or with a wireless chest strap transmitter (not included). You don’t have to worry about plugging in this unit, the display is battery operated.

Our Thoughts on the Unix M Trainer

If you want a more basic model over the Unix P, you can save $200 by going with the Kettler Unix M elliptical trainer. At $1,099, the “M” provides the same frame, stride length, and type of brake system, and many of the same features as the pricier model.

The only drawback is the battery-operated console; if you exercise frequently, go with the power plug in Unix P model and save on buying batteries. For quality German engineering and superior quality, any of the Kettlers are a good choice at the right price.
