 Expectations Met Mar 10, 2010
I purchased this machine to do cardio at home on those nights when I am too tired to go to the gym. It arrived quickly and took only minutes to assemble. I am in good shape ( 5'3 and 107 lbs...work out several times a week at the gym) and was still able to get a good workout on this machine! It was enjoyable and fun. This machine takes up almost no space at all. I don't have anything negative to say...I like the fact that I had to engage my core muscles to stay on it....I will post again in a few weeks to see if my love affair continues....
BUY THIS! You won't be disapointed. Mar 05, 2010
I live in a large coastal city where every square inch of my living space is premium. Years ago, I purchased the mini-stepper from Sharper Image. I literally was burning through each stepper on average every two to three months. The rod in the middle would snap (poor design). I bought another stepper from Target that had a cable in the middle, that cable broke within a month and a half. Finally I decided to compromise my space and bought a larger elliptical machine. I had it for about six months and the cross bar weld blew out. Here's the thing, I RUN on these and really give the machine a hell of a workout. This machine has stood up to my abuse for 2 months now without a sign of it breaking. I did have to tighten the bolts on the left foot petal about a month after using it. It's small, I can put it under my bed and am thrilled with the design! It's a simple bicycle petal and the foot pad rests on a roller blade wheel. Absolutely genus! I actually get a great cardio from this and work up a good sweat. I saw another reviewer here mentioning something about balance. I'm guessing they've never used any kind of cardio machine before because I didn't have an issue at all. The critique of the elliptical motion not being that big is valid but if you think of this as a stepper, that won't make a difference to you. I think the calorie counter is off. It says that I've burned 820 calories after an hour which I know from other machines and when I belonged to a gym, is not the case. I'm sure I'm getting a good 600 - 650 calorie burn after an hour on this. That's it for my review! Really happy with this! :)
Fantastic Purchase Mar 04, 2010
I absolutely LOVE this machine. I was looking for something that wouldn't take up a lot of room in my house and that wouldn't make a lot of noise and this is perfect. It took me less 10 minutes to set up the machine and start using it. I admit I'm close to 200 pounds and have no difficulty keeping my balance while on it. I love the fact that the machine allows you to go forward and backwards and the best thing is that you can control the resistence. A lot of people complain about the short stride but I think it is really easy to get used to. I did have some knee pan the first few uses but after a few weeks of using I have little to no knee pain and have really built up my stamina. Another great feature is the computer on the machine. I exercise in the morning before going to work and get back on later in the evening and it keeps track of what I already accomplished earlier that day and I can reset every night for the next day. I don't feel guilty anymore watching my favorite shows on TV because I just hop on my elliptical trainer and get a fantastic workout for an hour.

Little Space & Little Time Mar 03, 2010
I purchased this elliptical a few weeks ago as an alternative when I am short on time and can't make it to the gym. Using this elliptical with 3lb dumbbells has provided me just as good a work out as using the elliptical at the gym. I use a heart rate monitor and can easily reach my target zone (and above if I'm not careful).
You do have to get use to the shorter strides and not having something to hold onto, but after a few uses - you won't even notice.
The best thing about it, is I can use it in any room in my home at any time - it's light enough so I can carry it around. It's so quiet - I don't wake anyone when using it in the wee hours of the morning. My downstairs neighbors don't even complain.
It was also very easy to put together, I did it without the assistance of my husband.
A recommended buy if you are short on space but are looking for a good cardio workout.

Super addition to a standing work station Mar 03, 2010
Wonderful product so far - will see how it wears. I'm fairly confident having assembled it; the parts are heavy and well-connected.
I stand at my desk ten hours a day; should give it a real workout - posted a couple of pix in the customer photo area.
