Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A ++++. It takes about 30 minutes to put together, but all tools/instructions are included and it's simple and straightforward to do. The pieces are just screws and washers -- not complicated. It came well-packaged, so no issues or damage upon arrival --- all you actually have to put together is the arms and the stand, everything else is done. The startup is quick, as the speed buttons are fairly touch sensitive, and the emergency pull works well. My husband is 220, and it said the max weight is 250 -- it hasn't been an issue at all, but it does shake a teensy bit, so we got one of those rubber mats to put under it for support and to decrease vibration --- it's been perfect since then. I recommend a 36 inch foot by 72 inch mat. My sole "complaint" is that there's not a specific water bottle holder -- but the panel up to has space to lean it on the shelf where it lists the speed programs (see pictures), so it's not an issue.
