Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Here are the pros and cons: Pros -Well built and sturdy for the price -Nice cushioned foot-pedals -Great if you buy the ifit Live module -The speaker system is very nice -Easy to assemble--we did it in an hour and a half. -Resistance was great -Stride was good for me--I'm 5'6'' -not squeaky when your exercising and it doesn't wobble Cons -ifit Live membership is an extra $9.99 a month -the ramp only rises to 25 degrees--the main reason I gave it 2 stars. It's barely a workout for me and I'm stuck -with it because it's too expensive to send back -the fan is terrible--you can feel it literally 2 inches from the fan and no more. If this is important to you--look elsewhere --the ramp is loud when it moves up and down--but lasts for less than a minute. The fan is loud too--so loud for so little output. Neither a Pro or Con Graphics are OK--not great but not terrible. Not very hi-tech but readable. Reminds me of the screens on cell phones when they first came out before they had color screens. Bottom Line: If you want an ifit live machine and don't care about ramp height--its very nice but be willing to pay 9.99 a month after the first year--most modules give you one year free. Don't buy an ifit live module unless the 1-year membership activation is included. If you don't care about ifit live--get a machine that has a higher ramp. 25 degrees is nowhere near what you may be used to at a gym--so if this is important for you take a look at proform's other models--they make one that lifts to 40 degrees and I wish I would've purchased that one. If you don't care about the ramp height and don't care about ifit live--proform makes a similar machine to this without ifit live for about $200 cheaper. UPDATE: I have been using this for awhile now. I have had absolutely no problems with it so I have to give it an A+ for durability. I am still sore over the ramp but the machine works well and I still get a good workout between this and running so I am happy with this brand. I just want to mention that this review was written awhile ago and that prices and models change over time. It may be that the price of this model decreases making it a better option over newer models if you don't care about ramp height. Therefore, what this review should hopefully illustrate is that you should look carefully at prices and features before buying--go to the manufacturer's website and see what they offer and then price shop the various models from different merchants so you get the most for your money!
