this elliptical is very smooth and sturdy. a lot of them i tried were kind of wobbly. the stride is perfect to where you can extend your arms and legs to a comfortable level. i would recommend this product.

Great machine for this price point

Item arrived on time, took about 2.5 hours to put together. I HIGHLY suggest using an allen wrench attachment on your power drill for assembly. Something we thought of about 1.5 hours into assembly! Makes assembly much faster. The machine is smooth, screen is nice and bright, haven't yet played any games but it offers strong resistance.

A great workout!

We really enjoy the workout on this elliptical. The game feature is fun, however it does not "distract" you as much as you wish! The workouts are gym quality and you totally feel it the next day. The only complaint we have is that the heartrate monitor does not seem very accurate. I am not sure if there is a problem with the sensor or what, as this is not a show stopper for the actual workout. My goal is to do 30 mins/day and right now I am up to 25. Its very study and the stride is very smooth even though I am short and my other half very tall. We are both very glad that we purchased this model over the other ones and I can honestly say that I like working out on it.

works well. Good speakers.

My wife and I have had our elliptical for about a month now. Neither of us had used an elliptical before so we don't have much to compare it to.

When the box came, it was really heavy and it was a workout in itself to set it up. It took about 2-3 hours. We haven't gotten it quite leveled yet correctly but it is really solid. We bought it for the game fit technology since we thought the video game could be motivation but when working hard, it is hard to stay focused on the game. Mainly, we use the speakers for pod casts that distract us. We haven't worked our way up to the most difficult workout programs yet but are surprised at how easy all the 20 minute ones are. They only go to resistance level 5 out of 12. I guess for the more difficult workouts you have to spend more time.

Overall, we are really pleased that it is actually fun to use and making us much more fit.

Smooth, Solid and Quiet

I stripped out a couple of the bolts that hold the 2 main pieces of the frame together while assembling it but it's holding up just fine so far. It's quieter and smoother than my previous Proform. I have used it 15 times in the last 30 days for 50 minutes each workout. There is only a slight side to side "wobble", but it seems to be the frame flexing and not a "leveling" issue. The movement only about 1/8 of an inch or so. I don't feel it but can see it in the mirror in the workout room. Not a problem. All in all, I am pleased with it.
