TSN - Tele Shopping Network... My personal experience.
It was in 2011, when I was longing for weight reduction. All the TSN products for weight loss had not fulfilled my expectations, except the burning of 820 calories in one hour by Orbitrek Elite. The deal seemed to be agreeable to my expectations, hence I ordered the product. I got the product delivered in a month's time. The product was accompanied by a menu card, a diet plan. It states that to achieve the expected result, the diet plan should be followed. The menu card shows some dishes in Australia or America, which can seldom be found in India.
Nevertheless, I tried to burn the calories using the product. In the least friction load, riding for 1 hour had resulted in a mere 400 calories burning as per the indicator affixed to the product. As the friction load increases, riding gets tougher and so the calories burnt became lesser.
Later on, the advertisement was modified and it displayed that if you ride it for 20 minutes daily, you will get noteworthy results. I did that too. But, I felt, burning 120 - 150 calories in 20 minutes can be done by other cheaper means.
Exactly four years since I bought the product, the LEG-REST GOT SHEARED OFF WHILE RIDING IT. I got escaped narrowly with minimum injuries to my left leg. I got shocked. If this is the quality of the product, then how can we reliably do work out??? I called the customer care and complained about this. Customer care is very smart. They said, the warranty for the product is for one year and hence, they can repair the product for charges applicable. My question to them was simple. I'm not bothered about repairing the product. If the reliability of using the product is gone, then what is the fun in repairing it??? What does TSN guarantee for non occurrence of similar incident. The question is still unanswered.
Hope this blog will make you think before going for a TSN product.
