This machine is durable and a great deal. We bought the machine on sale and the cost equates to about what we were paying for about 6 months membership at our local gym. The money we will save by exercising at home will more than pay for this equipment. This machine allows you to adjust the height according to which part of your legs you'd like to work on. You can really feel the burn! The cardio benefits are a real plus. We tried several models in the store and this machine does not give you the "****" that others did--very smooth. After using a commercial machine for years at the local gym, this machine is the perfect version for home without breaking the bank. Although very heavy, the wheels on the front make it possible to move around if needed in a room, but you wouldn't want to have to move it everyday.
I'm a workout-a-holic and i could not use this machine for any longer than 7 minutes without my legs burning like a firey ****. I have ran on treadmills for 20 minutes on incline fine. I've ran on ellipticals on 1 setting for 30-45 minutes no problem. Level 1 on this elliptical is like 10 on most ellipticals I've used in the past. If you want a leg workout vs cardio this is for you otherwise look for something different.
Great elliptical for your home. Very sturdy but very heavy! It could be assembled by one person but it is helpful to have a second person due to the weight of the product. It functions very well. It is nice and smooth and makes little to no noise. The built in programs and adjustable incline help give your workout a nice variety.
I bought this on sale from Sears for $378 and I feel that it is easily worth twice as much. The hardest part was moving the box inside house by myself. After that, assembly (by myself) was an absolute breeze! I can't imagine anyone having trouble putting this thing together by themselves. I also bought a heavy duty rubber mat (6mm x 36" x 78") and it fits perfect. This machine is extremely smooth & quiet. And you get a great workout with it.
Machine works very well, was easy to assemble and is very quiet. I got a great deal because it is a discontinued model.
