I needed an elliptical exercise machine that didn't take up a whole lot of space in my apt. and could give me a decent workout on bad weather days. This little cookie fit the bill for me. It's small compared to gym size ellipticals but sturdy. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles electronics as a big machine but it has basic vital functions (including pulse) and is very easy to operate. Be aware, the tension adjuster is a manual knob-type. It's in a good position on the machine and easy to operate. I turn it up and down during my workout to give me a "hill" challenge.
It comes almost completely un-assembled. I recommend you take your time or better yet get someone to put is together for you. I am mechanically inclined and it took me about 40 minutes to put together which is a decent time. Once together, this cookie gave me a good workout and it continues to for the past several months. This machine will be one part of my cardio workout program especially during the winter. And since I keep it in the living room, it's easy to just hop on it and get a little workout going while I watch TV.
Some other things to be aware of that I found since my purchase, there are occasion squeaks that happen. I keep the little tools that came with the machine handy and when this happens, I re-tighten any loose bolts and it stops that. Sometimes a rubbing noise comes from the magnetic base, according to the instructions when this happens you loosen the base cover, adjust the position of the cover and re-tighten. I've only had to do this once since I've had it.
So overall this machine works very well for my needs, it's decently built/engineered, and it's a great price. It will be a little too basic for advanced athletes but it should work well for beginners, intermediates (looking to supplement their workouts), couch potatoes, and the elderly.
