 Elliptical Feb 14, 2010
By Stacy N. Hawks
"historian09"
This elliptical was one of my Christmas gifts to myself. It works good although it does tend to squeak a lot after you have used it numerous times. Nothing D-W 40 can't fix though. It's sturdy and gives a good work out. It was very easy to assemble and is very light. The one thing I really like about it though is that it's not heavy and it can be easily moved from one room to another if need be.

 Pay an extra $50 to get a better machine. Feb 20, 2011
By BigKahunaBerger
IF you're strapped for cash, then this machine 'aint bad. However, if you're a gym rat and are used to using ellipticals at the gym and/or have an extra $50-70 get a newer and better elliptical machine.
It's not bad for the price, but my main complaint is that my feet barely fit on the pedals, and I wear size 10 shoes. On top of that there is a huge incline on the pedals. It also requires about 2 hours of assembly too out of the box.

Good machine for the price Mar 14, 2011
By war
Clearly you wouldn't be looking at this model of elliptical if you were willing to shell out 300+ dollars for a machine, so for the price it is a great little machine.
Pros:
-Compact
-Light weight (reasonable, I can move it by myself w/o issue)
-Quiet w/in reason (It is a fan/belt driven elliptical so obviously it will make a whirring sound when you are using it.
-Stable (I weigh 148 pounds and go pretty fast on it, it doesn't rock, shift etc.)
Cons:
-Long time required to assemble (the directions suck)
-Downward sloping front motion (because the unit is a compact unit, there is a downwards motion when you are moving forward, it feels like you are walking down hill, or for women walking in 2 inch heels. I find it makes you work your butt and thighs more than a normal elliptical. I do not mind it, some other reviews have not liked it)
- Limited range of motion for arm bars (again because it is a compact unit, there is a limited range of motion. I do not mind this, but others will consider it a con.)
Once you get this thing assembled it is a great machine for the money. I specifically was looking for something compact, quiet and had a smooth range of motion. I had tried other units in stores only to find that they had odd jarring movements. this unit thus far does not have it. If you are looking to get something for regular light use and are on a budget this is the one, if you are looking for a hardcore gym elliptical spend the money. I use this to warm up and cool down again for my at home physical therapy. I like it.

Great Elliptical Rider for the Price Sep 03, 2010
By Pamela Steele
"ravishingrhia"
So far this elliptical rider is well worth the money. Was easy to put together, arrived very quickly, and for someone who wants one, but can't afford the much more expensive riders, this is fine for the dollars spent. If you are an avid, daily, hour rider, you may want to consider one more expensive, but for the average rider, this one suits the job.

 Okay for the price Mar 11, 2011
By Zen Man
Me and my girlfriend wanted an elliptical in our own living room so we purchased this one. Bottom line... you get what you pay for. After a few weeks this elliptical makes an annoying noise when you use it. We try solving it by tightening the screws which it says you should but the noise is still there. We resolved this by simply turning the tv really loud while we use it.
Also, there is a strange slant when you use it. You are constantly leaning forward while working out. This isn't horrible but it doesn't feel as good or as natural as the more expensive ones.
Overall, this item is OKAY. We still use it and its not bad for the price. Hardcore elliptical users might not enjoy using this one.
