So far I am very pleased with this elliptical. I did a lot of research before I bought it and this one had everything I was looking for: -It’s not dependent on an app to work -It has numerous programs -It has adjustable resistance and incline -It has a built-in fan -The footprint is a reasonable size -My husband put this together mostly by himself and said the assembly wasn’t bad I use it almost daily and it has a nice feel to it and is quiet. The only thing you should take into consideration is the ceiling height of the room you are going to use this in. I am 5’9 and the room this is in has standard ceilings (7 feet-ish) and I JUST fit when I am on this elliptical.

So far so good, I was able to assemble it, and I am being using it for a few weeks, the product is delivering what I was expecting.

Its heavy as expected, so set it in or near the area you plan to use it in. The space it takes up about a 6ft. by 3ft area. You'll also be about 18in up, so keep that in mind if you have low ceilings. The assembly was actually fairly easy, I did most of the assembly by myself in a little over 2 hours while taking my time. The most difficult part of the assembly was attaching the neck and display to the body without pinching and bending the wires. Be very careful attaching the electronics, these parts can easily be broken. Other than that it was pretty easy, if you have a screwdriver with allen wrench attachments that will help a lot with the assembly, but it does include the tools if you don't. I'm 280 lbs. and I've used the elliptical 3 to 4 times a week for the past month and it feels very sturdy. I get no rocking motion and it is fairly quiet and smooth. The handle position feels a little awkward at first, but you get used to them. One downside is that the bluetooth is only used for apps/programs to track your progress and to record your workout stats. So to listen to audio from your phone or tablet (like Music or videos) on the built in speakers you have to connect it to an aux jack. The speakers aren't great so you may wanna use you headphones anyway. The display menu is also a little complicated to navigate and takes some getting used to. I accidentally get in to a menu I never intended to frequently, so a bit of a learning curve there but eventually I'll get it figured out. Overall, I'm enjoying the workouts I get from this machine and it offers numerous workouts from easy to challenging and also allows you to customize a workout if you'd like. There is also no need for unnecessary apps or software if you don't want to use them which seems to be a downside for some other equipment.
