Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I hate exercise, but I'm 52 years old and tired of lectures from my doctor about "getting daily exercise". A friend of mine bought one of these and I tried it and liked it. I promptly gave my exercise bicycle away and bought a Gazelle Edge. Pro's: * It's sturdy. * It doesn't weigh a ton (46 lbs to be exact). * It's whisper quiet - you can watch TV or listen to the stereo at normal levels -or- exercise while the baby's sleeping (if you have one!) :-) * It's comfortable (but don't use it with bare feet lest you risk blisters on the bottom of your feet (been there done that). * It folds flat Cons: * It folds flat BUT the pedals "flop" around on the tether cable making it awkward to move around. A couple of velcro straps can fix the problem (hmmmm... I wonder why Tony Little hasn't thought of that...?). If you don't like exercising, but must (and we all must...) this is the machine for you. If you don't like the Gazelle then you might as well get back on the couch and forget about exercise all together. The Gazelle will give you the exercise you need, and if you eat right, along with using the Gazelle, you'll lose weight too! Does it stand the test of time? It did for me. My weight bench became a storage rack and my exercise bike became a clothes rack. The Gazelle seems to remain true to its intended purpose in my house.
