Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this to use in front of my standing desk. I like it. It's sturdy and heavy...mostly metal parts. It was easy to put together, and for what it is, quite compact. It does not have a large stride...so I don't think it's fair to compare it to an actual workout machine. But for casual "just keep moving" type of exercise, I think it's a nice product. It's quiet too, which is a bonus. All that said, it has, in my opinion, one major flaw: there is no handle on it. The entire point of a compact machine like this, IMHO, is that I should be able to move it easily in and out of position in front of my desk. A handle on the top would have made this incredibly easy. But as it is, there is no easy way to move this. You can't grab it by the pedals, as they move all over the place. So, overall, a really great product but have to withhold one star due to the lack of a handle. UPDATE: As others have reported, one issue is that over time, the wheels start to get 'squeaky'. I've found that the issue is that they simply get a bit dirty and since the wheel slides a bit side-to-side, it causes enough friction that you get the squeak. You can clean the wheels daily, but that is annoying. I finally solved this by getting some 'drawer slide tape'. It's designed for drawers to make them smoother to open. I placed strips on the base where the wheel rides and it's been squeak-free ever since. I think the company should actually provide some strips of this with the product.
