LOL I wonder if he feels like a real man beating on a woman like that.

Having plates that are balanced to the nearest microgram aren't necessary, so CAP is an acceptable purchase.

Landice is open about stating 98% of their treadmill parts are American made. At least it's mostly American.

Ivanko is a Chinese made product, so isn't it hypocritcal to say one's only going to buy American but promote something that's not.

CAP is great! Where else can you get a brand new 300# Olympic weight set with 7' bar for $169?

I prefer American or EU made but like I stated before "Made in China" is not the same as Chinese made, low grade knock offs. If it where possible to not buy any China stuff I would but, I do not think is is possible without a huge bank account and a lot of custom items. Well, that or go Cody Lundin style. I will not by knock offs though. I will rather pay the rightful maker for a good item or buy something else. Like I said before it is like buying a "genuine Rolex" out of some guys trunk. (though, I prefer my Citizen Eco Drive anyway! Bough used of course)

I'm in agreement with you, when I started this thread I thought Otaway was the outsource manufacturer for LF/HS. Now I know they make clones. In this case I would not risk any purchase from them. Chinese made cloned products is a huge multi billion $ market. The Feds recently raided a local merchant here for selling knock offs. Something that I thought would be isolated to bigger cities, not a smaller mid-west town like here. Naivety on my part. We even had a local honey seller importing honey, shipping containers full of 55 gallon drums of it from China. Get this, they were marketing it as "local farm country" honey.

European designs are stylish and minimal in my opinion. Reminds me of Mercedes Benz's interior. Even their old machines exude simplicity. I like it.

Nice small foot print on the leg press and hack, looks like they would be easy to tip over for being top heavy, but I'm sure they're pretty stable though

Considering how strict EU laws are I doubt these machines are unsafe. But who knows...

I'm sure you are correct, plus it would open up the company to liability if they weren't safe.
