>> Do NOT buy this elliptical
I bought this elliptical back in January It was on sale for and had a great price for the features it offers I used it for about 20 minutes and started to hear a noise coming from the back wheel Within an hour of use 3 20 minute sessions I had a lot of black specs on the ground next to the left rail left side when standing on it The wheel was rubbing on the side of the housing and pieces of the wheel were getting shaved off Within another 30 minutes of use it was so loud I couldn t hear the TV
1st fix Tech support mailed me a new wheel I put that on 30 minutes later the noise was back
2nd fix Tech support mailed a bunch of parts and sent service out 30 minutes later the noise was back
3rd fix Tech support mailed even MORE parts and sent service out 20 minutes later not only was the noise back but the resistance no longer worked and there were more noises coming from the inside of the machine
4th fix Mailed me a new elliptical my responsibility to get rid of the old one 30 minutes on the new one same noise same problem 70 minutes later it is so loud again I can t use it
It is now 4 months later I have 2 non working ellipticals in my apartment and still waiting for tech support to call me back with what they are going to do
Very frustrated and still no working machine
>> Not a Good Elliptical
The machine is not well made There was a problem with the wheel that made it too difficult to paddle even on level one there was a resistant that we could not paddle for 5 min I believed I got the returned product delivered There was no manual in the package We returned the item and Amazon shiped a replacement within one week The second one had noise in the wheel box from time to time The noise started clicking when I started the machine and went off after few minutes and started again and it happened only on the right side So I decided this is not what I want and returned it back to Amazon After all it is not the good buy but Amazon did make the return easy as promised
>> OK but not the best buy
Some of the other reviews look like commercials to me I doubt they are from actual users
The good things about the machine is that it is not too big and simple to use Here are the cons
1 It has some noises from the wheel area from time to time
2 There is no mentioning at least I did not find where in the installation manual of where to plug in the AC adapter or how to use the extended leveling devices
3 I wish there is a lock in the machine I have two little kids and they can easily hurt their fingers or arms if they try to play with it When someone is using it be absolutely sure that little kids don t get close it can easily break an arm if one tries to insert his/her arm into the moving parts Later I looked at other models and they don t look as dangerous
4 I wish the screws/nuts/washers were packaged in a separate bag instead of pre installed and taken out when I started to assemble it One washer fell into the big hole next to it when I was unscrewing it
5 I think the Amazon sale price of this item 849 is still very pricy compared with other models I looked at The so called regular price is just for dummies like me who think the sale price is a good bargain
