Customers appreciate the quality and ease of use of the Carbon EL Elliptical, citing its smooth operation and straightforward assembly as key positives. However, some users experienced issues with the machine's stability and noise levels during workouts, while others found the assembly process time-consuming and the resistance levels challenging to adjust. The incline feature and iFit integration were also highlighted as positive aspects by some users. A few customers also noted the machine's size and weight as factors to consider.
This is an excellent elliptical with a few faults. First, it pedals smooth, has a large easy to read display and doesn’t take up a lot of space. Second, my body doesn’t care if it’s burning calories on this machine or one that cost 3x more. Calories burned is the end goal and this machine does that well. Now for the negatives. I consider myself handy and own a lot of tools. I used both of those while building it. I needed help lifting it and getting the feet under it to attach. Also, like someone else mentioned, the lowest setting was difficult so I had to watch some YouTube videos and adjust the magnet near the wheel to provide a more realistic resistance. I left the swinging arms off of mine because I don’t use them. I hold the handles with heart rate monitor and the arms just get in the way or hit me when I reach for the remote or water bottle. I will include some pictures to show you how much assembly is required.

The elliptical arrived when it was supposed to. I am a 50 year old female and was able to put it together by myself. The paperwork indicates you have to register on ifit but all you have to do is hold down the blue button for several seconds and it activates without subscribing to their workout plan. The elliptical is NOT stable as indicated in other reviews. I plan to work on seeing if I can fix that. Overall it's worth the $599 I paid for it.

Nice elliptical machine. Feels very sturdy while using it. I like the ability to use different resistance levels as well as switching the incline to target different muscle groups. You can use this model with or with out the ifit wifi option. I purchased it on sale. Good value for the price. I would recommend purchasing the set up in any room and haul away of your old machine if needed.
