“I was expecting more of a full size elliptical motion, and it only falls short there. It's very quiet, easy to assemble, easy to use. I do like it, but it's not quite the same motion as a full size.”
“It does workout your butt, legs, core but the range of motion is extremely limited and after a long workout, it can stress the hip muscles causing pain. The worst part is that the wheels are not aligned and after a couple of minutes, the misaligned wheel starts to squeak with each step! Incredibly annoying. I sent the first one back but the new one I got has the same problem!!! They must manufacture these with a misaligned wheel. It is such a shame. What a waste of what could be a perfect little machine.”
“This is the perfect solution I was hoping for - an easy, affordable was to get exercise (legs, hips, core) like I would if I could walk around the block. Foot surgery has made walking difficult and painful but this gives me the exercise my body needs to keep my muscles and joints working. I only use this machine sitting down. The only complaint is that my toes are pointing down while working the machine and it would be more comfortable if the front end was higher for a more natural leg to foot angle could be used. I've had to build my chair up higher to accommodate.”
“I bought this for my daughter to use as she wanted to do some exercise and our peleton is on order. From the moment it arrived, she has been on it every opportunity she can get. She assembled it right away (without asking me for help) and given the size, found a perfect place to work out while she is watching The Office for the 10,000 time. I can't hear a thing which allows me much needed "private time" during this whole pandemic and I can watch what I want to watch on the TV. Yippeee. Win win for both.PS I have used the machine and its fabulous. I HIGHLY recommend it.”
“I've got a back problem that keeps me from walking much, and I wanted to try one of these for limbering up my hip and knee joints especially. It's great for that, and much better than I expected for actually getting exercise. I've compared it to the Cubii, and there doesn't seem to be any difference. This one is quiet, smooth, and half the price of a Cubii. I'm glad I got it.”
“I've had this for awhile now and I really like it. The device takes up very little room and can be moved to wherever it's most convenient to use. I use it while watching TV. It's fairly quiet as long as I keep the pedals lubricated. I haven't had any problem with it sliding around or anything. It does have a few of design flaws however . 1) The display faces the standing position so if you use it while seated like I do then you're looking at the display upside down. 2) I don't have much confidence in the accuracy of the fitness statistics when it comes to distance travel and calories burned. Those figures seem inflated but you can easily calculate it yourself based on how much time you spend on it. 3) It really needs some kind of handles to make it easier to move.”
“Quite. Sturdy. Adjustable resistance. For under $100?! I was a bit skeptical before I got this, but now that I'm a month in I couldn't be happier. I use it for about an hour a day, almost always standing position. No squeaks, or issues. I weight 170 these days and the machine handles my weight fine. Only thing I would change is I would like the range of motion to be a little bigger, but over all this product is a home run, should be featured on one of those TRAKK's Best Product lists.”
“I have had this now for a few days and am quite satisfied with the purchase. I wanted something that would provide me with an alternative to going to the gym if I was in a time-crunch or for when the weather gets bad when winter comes. So far this is working out pretty well. It is not as intense of a work out that you would get on a full-sized, gym quality elliptical, but it does provide a decent sweat. I have used it both standing upright and also seated.I agree with other reviewers who mention the short stride. It is almost closer to a stair stepper with a little elliptical movement mixed in than an elliptical when you use it standing upright. It is not difficult to balance on, but since I am a bit of a klutz I hold onto my trek poles which I use for hiking for extra balance just in case. I have also noticed that it does squeak a little bit when you stand up on it, but I think that is just the rubbery-wheels under the petals against the metal base. Other than that it is completely silent.When used in a seated position, the feel is very akin to an exercise bike. It does not squeak when I use it sitting down so it is totally silent.The calorie counter is definitely not even close to accurate. The tension knob doesn't feel like it makes a great difference. The assembly was extremely easy. It took me maybe ten minutes to put together - the hardest part was getting it out of the box. It is light enough to move it around easily and small enough to easily store in a closet when I'm not using it.Overall I am very happy with this purchase and it is pretty much exactly what I expected it to be.”
