The ProForm Carbon EL in Black is a game-changer for home workouts! Its sleek design and sturdy build instantly caught my eye. With adjustable features for comfort, it offers various resistance levels and pre-programmed workouts, catering to all fitness levels. The interactive touchscreen is user-friendly, providing access to fitness apps and live workouts. Its quiet operation and smooth pedaling make it perfect for home use. Easy assembly and a compact design suit smaller spaces. This bike has exceeded my expectations, motivating me to stay consistent with my workouts. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a stylish, high-tech exercise bike for home fitness!

Makes loud clunking noise when the resistance is up. Really annoying but after a while I have become acclimated to the noise. I will also play my music louder to drown it out.

After spending 2 hours building, machine didn’t work, Bad motor or cables. Manufacturer should be QAing before sending to reseller. Very disappointed since I wanted to use it right away. Too late to return to store since Best Buy only gives you 2 weeks. Didn’t return before 2 weeks cuz we didn’t want to build another one. So we contacted iFit and waited 1.5 weeks for parts which tech didnt even use. Tech said console or cable bad so now waiting for more parts. Thumbs down on this machine/brand.

Currently the controls are not functioning properly. I have “activated” the machine yet to be machine seems to be locked on a high resistance level no matter what resistance setting I actually choose. When I go on it and start to move, the speed and distance remain at zero no matter what I do. It is nearly impossible thus far to get in contact with support. I waited for over an hour and a half and still no luck with getting through to an agent. Tried the chat option and it was also a fail… waited to be transferred to an agent and it never happened. Put in a service ticket and let’s see what happens. Very close to returning the machine. Thus far very frustrating.

Eleptical was fairly easy to put together and functions well but I had an issue with the front center flywheel having large crack in the outer frame and it made a loud noise when in use. Best Buy delivered a new one within a few days but the new one is getting hot on the left arm pedal.

Well, it lasted 29 months with daily use. In less than a year, a weld broke on the right pedal. Proform sent a replacement part and I was able to repair it. This morning, a proprietary bolt in the center of the flywheel snapped while I was in motion. It scared me and I'm thankful I wasn't injured. Purchased another elliptical from a different brand and picking it up later today. Believe every nad review you have read
