The Big Guy loves this machine... February 15, 2007 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I did a little research, read the reviews, and took a shot. I gotta tell you, I like this machine for the money I spent. Pros- Quiet, Small footprint, built in fan, 15 level resistance, longer stride, and strength. ( yeah, i weigh about 250 trying to get to 220) Cons- Big handles, heart rate monitor doesn't work too well, plastic foot pedals kind of chincy. Overall, this machine will get your heart going and seems to hold up to my weight well. The things that were important to me- noise, motion, and resistance, it does really well with.
Just as great as what you find in a gym December 14, 2006 24 out of 24 found this review helpful
I researched a lot of elipticals prior to purchasing this particular one. This eliptical is awesome, no other words can describe it. I love it. It took about an hour to assemble, with the help of my boyfriend. What I loved about the assembly process was how simple it was. Rather than sending a seperate bag full of loose nuts, bolts, and washers, it came with a bag with three tools for assemble and a bag with 4 screws. The rest of the nuts, bolts and washers were shipped in the holes they were to be placed in for assembly. What this meant was we were not trying to determine which bolt went where, we already knew. It took a tad longer because you had to undo each one and then put the two pieces together and rescrew them, but trust me, I will take that over the annoyance of not knowing what goes where anyday!! The computer screen is deceivingly simple. It looks like it provides little if no information, when in fact it has everything you could want. The pre set programs are wonderful, all the same you would find on a high priced machine. I consider myself to be in decent carido shape and this machine is giving me a real run for my money!! Over and above all of that, the absolute best part about this machine is it's noise factor, which is a ZERO. I live on the second floor of an apartment complex and have no problem working out at 6 am. I have no fear of waking anyone up (as opposed to a treadmill) because the machine is comepletely silent. I LOVE IT. I can't wait to use it everyday. It is sturdy, silent and a great workout. Who could ask for anything more???
