NordicTrack E5.7 Elliptical

Great Elliptical

Have had this elliptical for 2 months. Had Sears service provider assemble the machine within 2 hours. Machine runs quiet and smooth. Workout kicks my ****! Has shelf for electronic devise that is hooked into MP3 outlet (you provide cord). Speakers are blocked by electronic devise when on shelf, sound is muffled but you can still hear. 5 stride adjustment levels with manual adjustment. Just click and lift, easy to do. Large pedals. Easy to step on. Has wheels on front and handle on back for moving, but machine is heavy and takes some muscle and 2 to lift and move. Power cord is at front of machine and if plugging in to wall behind the machine, cord runs length of machine, need extension cord. No fan, lots of work out programs built in. Pay a little more and have Sears assemble. Machine is just right for me.

Quiet, Cheaper.

Quiet machine, and cheaper than many of the others, this gets you in shape for less money, the pedals are a bit big for my taste.

If you're going to use it daily, look elsewhere

Only lasted 1-1/2 years. Used daily it was the best workout going, but the unit started to fail, horribly. When a crankshaft sheers, that's a bad sign. ICON no longer backs its product and we're waiting for it to be hauled away as scrap. If you're going to use it daily, get a commercial grade unit and pay the higher price. This is designed and supported by the company for someone who wants to make it a clothes rack after a few months of use.

Works well, relatively quiet

Requires a lot of maintenance

I have had to realistically take various greased joints apart weekly at a minimum and re-grease them to keep this machine running smoothly. I would assume that the machine would work smoothly for the sum that it costs, but in my opinion it doesn?t. The articulated joints do not have grease packed bearings which I think would have greatly increased performance. At the time of this review, I have had the machine for approximately a month and half and have had to take apart almost all the assembled joints and re-greased them at least 3 times each. At this point I am getting about an hour of exercised before it starts to creaking, squeaking and knocking.I wish I had my money back!
