Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is totally worth buying! The quality is very good and it's easy to put together. I put it together mostly by myself and I'm a 21yr old female with average strength and it wasn't too hard. I did have trouble tightening a couple of bolts, but that was the hardest part, and mostly just because of the position of the bolt. Most of the pieces are together already, the pieces that need greasing were already greased. It comes with the tools you need to put it together, and the hardware is separated into what you need for each step, so there's no digging around looking for the right part. As far as the elliptical itself, it's awesome. *It has an audio input jack and comes with a cord for it, and you can either listen to music on its speakers or plug your headphones into the elliptical itself. *There's a spot were you can set your ipod or mp3 player and it also has a little book stand at the bottom of the console display. *There's a water bottle holder and it has two smaller side holders where you can set other things like a cell phone or something, which is nice. *It has a power cord, it doesn't take batteries like some do. *It has a fan that has 3 different settings and an option for changing what you're looking at on the screen, calories burned or distance and time or heart rate. It has a spot that tells you your rate in MPH and also your resistance setting. *It measures the distance in miles and starts at 0.00 goes up by .01 miles at a time. *It has some preset programs, but I haven't used them, I've just done it as manual. *It has 2 options for changing the resistance level: it has + and - buttons, but it also has numbers 1-10 on the sides so you can change resistance quickly. *It has a really smooth motion, you don't feel like you're bouncing that much when you run on it and it's super quiet! It's not wobbly and feels really stable and sturdy. The foot pad is pretty big too, which is nice because you have room to find which spot is most comfortable. The only thing I don't love about it is that when you start using it, it beeps pretty loudly. It also beeps when it's shutting off, and I think when you press the buttons. It's not a big problem, but it can get annoying when you're trying to be quiet. I think that about sums it up, and if I come across any problems, I'll update this later.
