perfect for me I am 5'5" 115 lbs. nice and compact size the stride is shorter than most found in health clubs. I see how this might not work so well for larger taller people, but for people my size I highly recommened it. I was looking for an elliptical that wasn't so bulky and this one is perfect for what I need.

I had researched many elliptical machines online and based on prior reviews and price I decided to purchase this model. Its not the top of the line of machines but you get your money's worth and a good workout. I break a sweat every time. I only have had this item for a short period of time so I can't speak about the longevity of quality but for what I paid for and shipping was free, it was a great purchase. No regrets. I get a great workout while watching tv. I'm 5'2 so the stride works fine for me. The resistance knob works (make sure you pay attention to the instruction when assembling the resistence chords and it will do the job). No squeaky noise. Fairly quite. Make sure bolts are fasten well and you won't have any issues with squeaking or rattling. I have a busy schedule so it's nice to be able to work in some cardio while I'm at home. Enjoy your purchase.

• Did the product fit true to size? Yes, not bulky and easy to move around. Fits perfect in my spare room.
• How is the quality of the product? Great quality. I've only had the machine for a week and have used it several times. So far so good.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No defects. Fairly easy to assemble. It took me 2 hours without any frustration. Just pay attention to the instructions.

The product arrive on our doorstep and the box was in good shape. After we opened the box, the parts were loose so we were worried, but all parts were there. The instruction manual was not in english. Once we struggled to get the elliptical together (which wasn't that hard) I jumped on.The micro tension knob is worthless. There is no increase in resistance. The stride is short and the foot placements are narrow, which can get uncomfortable. There is no place to put water so have your water sitting nearby. Also, the display is only good for the timer, the other information is worthless, since you cannot enter data. However, if you are on a tight budget and have limited space, it will do the job. Depending on my time, I work out anywhere between 30 - 50 minutes, 5 days a week, and I get a good workout. If this elliptical falls apart in a year, then I can say that I got my monies worth. All in All, it's OK, but if you have the money, get something with more quality.

If you are any where near 6' tall stay far away from this thing. It's nothing but a paper weight for me now. The stride is so short it's a joke. If your like 5'6" then it might not be so bad. Others wise just spend a little more money.

This machine is really good. Ordered it on a Monday night and it was delivered by Wednesday afternoon. Very easy assembly, everything works, nothing was missing or broken. Works great but a little bit squeaky. It may be because the bolts weren't tight enough, I dont know. Very good work out!

This machine is great and is compact for any small space

• How accurate was the sizing? very accurate

Good quality for the price and size. Not a monster hogging valuable space in my home. It's not a huge machine like you'll see at the gym, but gets the job done - Good sweat and workout every time.

• How accurate was the sizing? Love smaller size of this machine.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good buy.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes.

This was a great investment on my behalf. I get a great workout right in the comfort of my own home! It's a bit squeaky & the tension doesn't work well on mine, but, it's great quality! I recommend anyone to get it.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Great quality. Awesome workout. A little squeaky, but not too bad.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes, so far.

good product for anyone just starting a new workout. its small enough to fit in my small apt. and big enough for a good 30-40 min cardio workout everyday. took about an hr to put together on my own.

• Did the product fit true to size? yes
• How is the quality of the product? good. nothing fancy but perfect for what i needed.

This was easy to set up even though some of the parts weren't marked with the part numbers but using common sense we were able to put in together. Works great. My poor sister in law is too tall for it; she hits her knees on the bars in the front. but I really have no complaints; love it!

A lot more machine than I expected for the price. Delivery was super fast. A little tricky to assemble but if you don't have any parts left over, then you got it right. ;o}

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my Father. He has bad knee's and I thought this would be a great way for him to excercise with low impact to his joints. He said it was very easy to install and that it is built very well. He has a small home so with the compact size of this it fits very well behind his couch in the living room. I am so pleased with his experience and feedback I am going to purchase one myself.

After reading the reviews, I decided to buy this. The only negative reviews were about how it was too small, but since I am 5'2" and don't use the handles at the gym because they cause neck and shoulder fatigue, I thought it might be perfect. It is...the assembly was time consuming, but easy, and it works very well. It's quiet, and easy to move around, and gives a surprisingly good workout. The tension was mentioned as being inadequate, but I can't see them being inadequate for me unless I use it every day for 4 hours and enter an ironman competition. ALSO, in the picture it appears blue, but it is more of a graphite grey. ENJOY!

I haven't had a lot of time to use the product; only had about a week. I have tried it a few times and it will take a while to build myself up to speed. I sit at a desk for 8 hours a day and needed something to build up the strength in my legs and to get in shape. It is something I can use while watching TV. After the holidays I hope to use it everyday. From what I can tell, it will be very beneficial for me.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality of the product is great.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? When assembling the product, the hole where the bolt screws into (that holds the pedal) had to be redone. Luckily my brother had the tools to fix it.

The assembly was smooth sailing. The toughest part was hooking up the tension cord, I would recommend having someone to help you with that, other wise I did it all on my own. Took about an hour and a half. I've worked out on it almost every day since I got it and am pleased with it. The only reason I'm giving it a four instead of five stars is because it tends to be a little squeaky and I would have preferred a quieter machine. Tried WD40 and couldn't seem to find where the squeak was coming from, must be internal. Otherwise great little machine.

I had been looking at ellipticals for a LONG time trying to figure out which one to get that wouldn't kill my bank acct and was originally going to get a golds gym one but found this for half the price and figured I'd give it a shot since it had decent reviews and I got the 2 yr warranty for it as well. It arrived in 2 days and the box it came in wasn't horribly big like I had been imagining. It took two hrs to put together but that's only cuz i struggled to put the main handle bar/frame togegether and then also screwing the leg bars to the.... crank shaft I guess you would call it was rather difficult but then I also refused to ask for help! I was able to put it together on my own which I'm rather proud to say since I'm a girl but it was also fairly easy. I am BEYOND happy with my purchase! It's super super quiet and is totally kicking my butt, I thought the resistance was a joke (at lvl 8) at first but the second day I was so sore I could barely walk... guess I pushed to hard for my first attempt lol. It harly takes up any room and has really smooth movement. It did start to squeek recently but I discovered the bolts had gotten really loose and once I tightened them up it was perfect and quiet again so just keep an eye on that. Not sure how accurate the monitor is but it is helpful and motivating to have at least an idea of how fast I'm going, for how long, and stuff like that. If I had to name any down sides I'd have to say the stride is a little short until you get use to it (I'm 5ft tall) and maybe a water bottle holder would be nice but it's not a huge deal. Overall I'm super happy with it, you really can't beat the price and the quality is really good.

excellent machine. I am not very mechanical but it took me about two hours to assemble. If you follow the instructions carefully,putting it together was a snap. For the money it was a good purchase.

It is a perfect size for those of us who are petite (short, 5'0) and found other exercise equipment uncomfortable because the hand bars are too far away when using equipment. It is a very comfortable machine. Took a long time to put together.

Took about two hours to assemble. The tention knob doesn't seem to work but I had trouble conecting it. I don't think I did that correctly. Otherwise it works great. It is just the right size for the space I have. All in all I am very pleased with it and the price was very good. I looked at several other brands and they were very large and expensive and I love this one.

I needed to get onto something to exercise. Living away from a city to go to a gym. Working odd hours, but ballooning over 200 lbs, I needed to exercise, not only to loose weight, but to loosen my joints. I wear my sauna suit, and hopt on it for 15 minutes, and voila, sweat happens. I love it!
