Wie wir das erstellt haben
Roster covers 13 stair climbers/stepmills spanning commercial stepmills, a commercial ECB climbmill, a hybrid 3-in-1 elliptical/stepper, a discontinued-but-still-referenced piston stepper, a HIIT elliptical-stepper hybrid, three budget mini-steppers, a commercial continuous climber, a portable hydraulic stepper, and a self-powered ladder-climbing machine, chosen to reflect what a 2026 buyer actually compares across price tiers ($100-$13,000+). Seed corrections: (1) 'StairMaster SM3' was dropped and replaced with 'StairMaster 10G Gauntlet StepMill' — direct fetches of corehandf.com (the StairMaster/Core Health & Fitness official site) and its current Gauntlet collection page show the SM3 is no longer part of the active new-unit lineup (only 4G/8Gx/10G are sold new); SM3 units now appear only as certified pre-owned/refurbished/eBay-outlet stock, so it does not fit a 'what a buyer compares to buy new in 2026' roster and 10G (the current flagship, still sold new) was substituted. (2) 'Sole SC200' seed was verified and kept, but EllipticalReviews.com explicitly states the SC200 was discontinued (noted Oct 2022) with the Sole E55 recommended as a replacement; priceUsd is nulled rather than presenting a stale MSRP as current, and this is flagged in its provenance. (3) Two products were added beyond the seed list to round out the comparison set buyers actually see side-by-side with StairMaster: Matrix Performance ClimbMill (StairMaster's main commercial ECB-driven competitor) and Xiser Commercial Portable Stepper + Jacobs Ladder (frequently cross-shopped 'climbing cardio' alternatives in gym/home-gym comparisons). Where official brand sites blocked automated fetches (bowflex.com redirected to global.bowflex.com for the entire session; sunnyhealthfitness.com and maxkare.net returned persistent 429s on most attempts), figures were sourced from directly-fetched authorized dealer/retailer pages and cross-checked against independent editorial reviews (BarBend, Garage Gym Reviews, EllipticalReviews, TreadmillReviews) instead; every such substitution is called out in the product's own provenance field. specKeys: step_height_range_cm is the vertical rise of one step/rung in cm (null where the machine has no discrete stair riser, e.g. FreeStride/elliptical-hybrid or ladder machines); resistance_levels is the count of discrete user-selectable levels (null/string where resistance is continuous, self-paced, or purely mechanical with no numbered levels); max_user_weight_kg is the manufacturer-stated capacity converted to kg; step_rate_spm is given as a 'min-max' string where the machine publishes a cadence range, null where cadence isn't a published spec (e.g. magnetic-resistance ellipticals, self-paced ladders); dimensions_cm is 'L x W x H' as published (converted from inches where the source was imperial). Nulls reflect fields that were genuinely unpublished or unconfirmable via directly fetched sources, never a guess. accessedAt 2026-08-01 throughout unless a specific product's source note states otherwise.
