A good start

Mat has taken down his post about the "Little black box" that magically fixes production problems in the field (I wish I did have one of those). This is a good start. I really don't have a problem with Mat trashing my products. What I have a problem with is Mat lying about my products. If he actually tried the products out, opened them up, checked the design, component specs etc...and then gave an honest review, I would be happy.

What I would request of Mat "The hunting sensei" Nastos (really, same IP as treadmill Sensei! check it out: http://www.huntingsensei.com/ ) is that he remove the reviews he currently has up on his site for our new products, XE100, XE200, XE300, XE700, XT175. The reason is that he reviews and rates them, but he has never even been on them or looked internally at the design details. If and when he does actually evaluate one of them, then he can comment - honestly - all he wants.

Mat fabricated lies about the products in these reviews. He says:

1) He says the shorter units are repackaged XE125. Completely different design. It is the same as XE150, just shorter.
2) They have plastic flywheels. This from a man with 20 years experience...LOL.
3) The XE300 has a plastic rear shroud. It's steel! The only home use elliptical with steel shrouds
4) Stride length doesn't feel like 20 inches. It is 20 inches but Mat wouldn't know, he did not try the units at the show.

Mat's obvious bias this year is blatant. I would prefer that Mat just remove Spirit completely from his review site. He won't make money off us this year, so I don't know why he has us on there anyway..... except maybe to teach us a lesson on how he can bring us to our knees and show us that our views on Internet sales are wrong. I got news for you Mat, Spirit will grow double digits again this year.... without you.
