Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This unit is whisper quiet, solidly built , extremely smooth and well engineered. I expect to get many years of use. The reason for only three stars are the following: >> the resistance knob has virtually NO usable indicator for the resistance setting. This makes it next to impossible to go to a specific resistance. Even a sticker with numbers would be something. >> the bottom of the upright tubes (where they fit into the main unit) are just a bit too small. This required over-tightening the attachment screws so you don't get any movement, otherwise each direction change has a little bump. >> the hardware is packed in a large blister pack which would be fine BUT there was not enough glue attaching the cardboard to and the back separated in one section resulting in screws and washers being loose inside the shipping box. After searching the whole box and all the wrappings, I ended up going to the local Big-Box store to find replacements. Luckily it was only washers and sheet metal screws; none of the special screws & curved washers. One last comment; I know it did not come with a heart monitor, so I purchased one for a whopping $20; They really should consider adding it. Revised 9/3/18 Updated to four stars; The machine is great! already lost some weight and with only 15 minutes per day!
