Good value for the home gym...
By AverageGuyShopper
... enthusiast who has to spread the budget around a couple different pieces of equipment. If you want to buy this exercise piece just for use by itself, I think you are also getting a pretty good value. I compared this unit to a an even cheaper unit that my mother bought a while ago and also to a professional gym elliptical. I think this unit sits quite well in between in terms of quality and function... if anything, I think the price/value proposition favors this one over all three.The box is heavy, and the unit only comes partially assembled. Leave around 1-2 hrs for assembly. Beware that in the efficiency of packing, there are some little white boxes on the ends of the styrofoam. The instructions for putting it together were decent enough. I did have trouble putting the plastic feet on the front end on the steel frame (one would fit easily, the other not, eventually got both on), which was annoying. I put the elliptical on carpet so that it wouldn't scratch my wood floor. *NOTE* The power adapter plugs into the back of the unit right underneath the resistance wheel - manufacturer needs to update the instruction book.After assembly, the unit stalls tall and is very sturdy, able to easily support my weight and walking stance WITHOUT wobble. Using the unit at all resistance levels was very smooth, and you can hear the wheel adjust as you change the electronic settings. My mother's older/cheaper unit used a manual turn knob to adjust resistance and it also wobbled a lot when used. The feet were also set uncomfortably apart, whereas this one was better suited to me, about the same as the professional elliptical. The unit's footprint takes up about 2/3 of the space of a professional gym unit. The electronic screen is VERY easy to read with good contrast and a cool blue color for the screen and illuminated buttons. I tend to use the unit at my own personal settings on what I feel like doing, never really using the programmed workouts on machines, but they are available on this one.Overall, I liked this elliptical's performance, especially as a fraction of the cost of a professional gym piece. I thought it was a well built sturdy piece of equipment that provides decent stride comfort. This was definitely much better than my mother's cheaper elliptical for a little bit more money, but tending towards as good as a professional gym unit for a lot less money and footprint. I knocked off a star for the plastic foot QC issue since it was a little frustrating to finally get them both on, and I feel this small QC issue could be enough for some people to precipitate a return back to Amazon out of frustration. If the manufacturer could fix this, then I think this elliptical is a value winner.

Overall great for the money.
By Surface to Air Missle
Out of the 147 pound box, this took me and one other person about 60 mins to set up as the instructions weren't fantastic but adequate. I've set up similar things below so I can't accurately say how much my experience helped out. I would think that the instructions would be a little more clear but in the end we figured it out.Other then that, this is exactly what I expected. I would classify this as a great low-end elliptical. My unit ran silently and smoothly and didn't have too much lateral movement although if you are a really big person, (200 lbs+) you may want to get something a bit more sturdy. The LCD functions were similar to the ones I see at my gym and worked in a similar fashion. The quality seemed what you would expect from an exercise machine in this price range. Specifically, good enough for regular heavy home use but probably wouldn't hold up in professional gym being used round the clock. The soft handles seemed like they will wear through eventually.All in all, considering this machine is about 30% the cost of the "big brand" names, its a great way to go if you are on a budget.

I read the reviews before I bought this item. I did not have any trouble putting it together, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. It does take a second pair of hands to assemble.We were using the elliptical that morning.
