Comment:
I love my elliptical! I use it 3 to 5 times a week and have had no problems with it. It has two personal profiles that will keep track of your overall usage, weight and BMI. I really like the fact it has a heart monitor strap that you place around chest for wireless monitoring. There are various pre-programmed workouts with 16 levels of tensions, a quick start so you can just hop on, press a button and go, a multi level fan that comes in quite handy and a drink holder. For the price and all the functions I think this elliptical is awesome.

Comment:
I just bought it from [@] for jsut under $650 after doing quite a bit of due dillegence. The assmbly instructions were easy to read & understand. It took 2.5 hours to put together - I had some minor issues with the 4 rear screws on the display not matching up with the threads. A few other minor alignment isses as well. Got it together and I am impressed. It is just as nice as the ones at the gym. Very stable and whisper quiet. It also has a better warranty than many of the other recommended models.Read the manual, set yourself up and fight that middle-age spread!
