Body Max XEL6700 Electromagnetic Elliptical Trainer
>> I LOVE this elliptical
This is really a great elliptical for the price It was easy to assemble mine came with instructions and it s very quiet when using It s got an 18 stride and adjustable resistance which were the most important to me when I was shopping around I took a few weeks to research which elliptical would be the best buy for my money and I am happy to report that I made the right choice
>> terrible units I ve had 2
I received one of these after reading the limited positive reviews and seeing the savings from the list price I received the first one and noticed immediately that the frame of the unit was cracked I set it up anyway because I figured it would work just fine and within a few days the heartrate monitor stopped functioning and a bad solder point in the strider cropped up Amazon s customer service was as usual outstanding and they shipped out another one The second one was damaged in shipping and had broken plastic everywhere inside the box and on top of that the pedals were put on backwards and because of the way it s assembled there was nothing I could do

Amazon has been great throughout the experience but I have now switched and ordered another model it might not seem like huge issues but when you re in a small town home and you have two big broken ellipticals to return it becomes a big deal I would recommend a more well known brand
>> Warranty information in Amazon description is incorrect
I purchased this trainer for 350 when it was a lighting deal UPS dropped shipped the elliptical on my doorstep with no need for anyone to be home at the time of delivery which is good because I work and am not able to be home The box was quite large and weighed in the neighborhood of 130 pounds The packaging was poor but mine arrived with no visible damage The elliptical was fairly easy to put together some portions that are shown in the instructions are actually assembled at the factory Overall it seems to be a fairly sturdy piece of equipment with a suggested maximum weight capacity of 250 pounds Of course it s not as smooth as some of the higher end models but for the price it appears to be a good deal

My only real complaint so far is that the Amazon description indicates a 10 year frame warranty while the instructions indicate a 3 year frame warranty

Also it seems that some of these are shipped without instructions I have gone ahead and scanned the instructions I received and they can be found at
