I do like this product and I would recamend it , I think it was worth what your paying for it !

• How accurate was the sizing? it was smaller then I thought it would be
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. quality was ok , I wanted something bigger , but for the price it's good for now.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? so far.

I bought this according to reviews. This elliptical wobbles quite a bit and if you have solid floors you actually move forward as you are working out. Everything was put together correctly and still the fittings come loose at least once a week and need to be tightened. The stride is a little smaller than I expected and I am short (5ft) If it wasn't for the wobbling I would be OK with it...but it is very distracting.

• How accurate was the sizing? fine
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. cheap
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes

Machine took a good 3-4 hours to assemble, there are lots of parts, but iwas able to do it alone. Machine has to rst on a level surface, otherwise it will woble when being used. It is smooth, no squeaks, no grinding noise. Easy to adjust the tension while using it. Its a good purchase foe thw price.

• How accurate was the sizing? Very acurate
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good for the price, dont expect gym quality
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Minor adjustment of left handle in order to fit handle bar

Got this set up a few days ago, and I love it. If that changes, I'll be sure to post an update. I wanted the best elliptical machine I could get for the least amount of money, and I think this is it. Of course it's not as solid as one you'd find in a gym, but for the price, I don't think it can be beat. This sucker is QUIET. I don't have to turn up the TV or music at all. It does wobble just a tad, which I expected from the other reviews. I tried it on the hardwood floor, then put down a yoga mat, and I don't notice a difference between the two. It's a really slight wobble (definitely not rocking back and forth), though; it still feels very stable. The motion is very smooth, not at all jerky (I've been on some gym machines that were more jerky!). One note -- if you have large feet, the footplates on this model are only 12 3/4" long, and there's about a 1" high rim that goes along the front, inside and back of each footplate, so you can't overlap them if your shoes are larger. Assembly was kind of a pain, because the parts list had bad descriptions -- for example, there are two kinds of washers that are the same size; one is just thinner than the other. On the parts list diagram, they're shown as different sizes, and the names aren't descriptive enough (one was called "special" -- not very helpful). And some of the assembly diagrams are pretty crowded, but overall, if you've got some patience, it was pretty straight forward. Some of the things the directions tell you to assemble are already pre-assembled, which was nice. The only problem I had was when it came time to connect the moving mechanism the footplates rest on to the rotating arm on the wheel. The connector pin would just not screw in. Turns out that when they screwed the u-clamp (the part the pin slides through to connect to the wheel) on the back of one part, they got the angle just wrong enough so the screw wouldn't line up perfectly. Once I realized that was the problem, it was easy enough to loosen the clamp just enough to adjust the angle, then re-tighten. All in all, it wasn't a good time, but I still put it together by myself, with the "help" of a one-year-old, so it's not terribly difficult. 5 stars for what it is -- a cheap elliptical machine that does the job well.
