This elliptical is the biggest piece of junk. The elliptical was practically thrown in the box on top of the styrofoam!! The legs were all scratched up. The center piece of plastic was scratched and has a hole in it. One foot pedal broke while putting it together and the other broke under my feet while I was trying it out. I hadn't been on it two minutes!! There were pieces missing here and there. And the ride is horribly unsmooth. I wasn't expecting a super fancy piece of equipment for the price and a few things wrong I could have dealt with but I have not one good thing to say about this elliptical!! Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra bucks!!!!

While it is a great bargain, there is continued upkeep required. The wheel/covers on the ends of the front of the elliptical keep coming off while working out. It's not broken, but its distracting.

Bought this thinking the poor reviews were not completely honest since there were good reviews as well. This was not too difficult to assemble, however, the screws for the right hand support do not fit leaving the support very loose. It feels as though one is leaning forward, making it difficult to use the machine effectively. Per other reviews, placing boards under the front end of the machine does help correct the problem, but when looking as the machine in use one can easily see that the foot pedals are angled down in the front when in use. Please do not be a naive as I was when buying this item. It is awful and a complete waste of money even if the price is only a little more than $100.00

I had this thing for only a few months and it fell apart. It was so poorly designed that one bit of metal sheared another part off. Trust me, it's cheap, and there's a reason it's cheap.

We bought this item last year and it made a clicking noise that was unbearable. The machine eventually made a grinding noise that sounded like it needed lubrication, and the friction made it unusable.So, thinking it was an isolated incident we bought another one last week. Well, I am sorry to say that the machine made the same clicking noise right out of the box. We can still use it, but the noise is very loud, just like the last one we purchased, and we expect this one to wear out just as the last one did in a very short time.We tried to save money but you get what you pay for I guess. Two times and two faulty machines. We will not buy it again, that's for sure.

This Elliptical Cross Trainer was just what we were looking for. We didn't want something that would break our wallet in like some of the other models can. The computer on ours works great, and I find that we are burning twice as many calories using this machine vs our stationary bicycle. This trainer looks and feels high quality, not "cheap" like I had feared. What a great deal!! Happy couple overall here!! :)
