I love this compact and lightweight elliptical! I'm not a fan of cold weather, so I wanted to find something to keep me moving in the winter when it isn't fit for walking and hiking outdoors. I wanted something light that could be easily moved into storage when not in use. I originally was looking for a treadmill, but after a little research I chose to go for an elliptical because I have one knee that gives me fits from an old childhood knee injury, and ellipticals are no-impact on your knees. I found this and thought it sounded just right for my needs.

I was not disappointed by this purchase. It was very reasonably priced and sized just right, and serves exactly the purpose I bought it for. However, if you're looking for an elliptical designed for a hardcore workout, rather than something to just keep you active while stuck indoors, this probably isn't for you. The stride is also a little short. I'm only 5'3 so it fits me well, but I couldn't see someone closer to the 6' finding this comfortable.

This is quiet and a great workout to do while watching tv.

I've only been using this a few days, but so far it meets all my expectations I have a limited amount of space which is why I bought this model. But I waned it to be sturdy and give a good workout, so far its done that.
It came in an easy to move box. Two of us built it, most of the instructions and graphics were clear and fairly easy to follow. It took a couple of hours, taking breaks.
It had a lot of grease already in the connections, so it made it less likely to squeck when in use. It took a few tries for it to feel like a smooth movement, ti was a bit tight at first, which is probably good. Everything worked better the next day and each day after that. The monitor is good and does what it was advertised to do. There is no backliight however.

I'm very disappointed to report that the monitor has stopped working and I can't figure out how to fix it. I changed the batteries but that hasn't made any difference. As for as I know, there is no way to contact the seller for information on how to fix the monitor (if its possible) or how to get a replacement part. It shouldn't have broken so soon..only a few months.I'm changing my rating.

It appears to be a very sturdy, well designed piece of equipment. And its small. That is one thing you might not like, the stride is very short and it took me a moment or so to get used to that because its different than the big ones in the gym, but the movement is the same and I think it provides a good, aerobic workout

So far I'm very satisfied.

See my update.

I am enjoying using it - easy on the joints. I look forward to my workouts. Works very well for me. Does not take up too much space. In terms of folding and putting away, because there are several steps, I think that is more useful for putting away on occasion, when there's company coming over, e.g., rather than everyday. I gave it 4 stars because at 5'3", the size is perfect for me, but taller people may not be as comfortable with the height of the handles and the stabilizer. Not difficult to put together - took my maybe 30 minutes by myself. Really happy with the purchase.

I agree with another reviewer that was disappointed in the stride length. If you're used to using the elliptical at the gym like I was, it does feel different. However, it's something I'm getting used to. For the price range, ease of assemble (I'm so bad at putting stuff together and managed to do it in a few hours) this is worth it. Especially during quarantine with no access to the gym. The whole point is to get a nice sweat in and this does the job while also fitting in my tiny apartment. I'm 5'1, 120 lbs. Dont doubt the effectiveness of these cheap at home machines. I bought a fan bike off amazon and was unknowingly conditioning myself for being able to ride an actual bike 20+ miles. This elliptical, while not commercial gym quality, can no doubt be effective for fitness goals.
