I've only had this a few days, so these are my initial impressions, but this is a great little elliptical machine. Assembly was pretty simple, you just have to attach the two foot pieces and the front legs and the rear plate, it took me all of 15 minutes. I will say that the machine is heavy once it's assembled, but it's not anything I can't handle. I did order the mat that they have shown as a bundle, it's a good thing I did, I have unfinished hardwood floors, and this thing slides around.
The motion is very smooth, the machine very quiet. It did squeak under the little rubber wheels where it meets the rear plate, but I just used the grease that comes with it and it's fine. You have to put the lubricant on the plate in the area where the rubber wheel runs.
The pictures show people using it while sitting on their couch, I am using a regular dining room wooden chair instead. Using it on my couch puts me in an odd position, and because of my mobility issues, makes it hard to keep my feet on the pedals, they slide forward. I actually use the machine backwards with the little indicator upside down, it seems to give me a little more resistance when I use it.
I will sit and watch TV and don't even realize that I've pedaled for an hour, it's that easy and pain free. I try to speed up during the commercials to give me a little bit of a boost and can really feel it. This will be easy for me to keep up with for an exercise regimen. Even with my arthritis and bad ankles, I can use this and can actually feel the difference in my joints and mobility, even after only the few days I've had it. I'd recommend this machine to anyone with mobility issues that still want to get some sort of exercise without doing more damage to themselves.
