LESS THAN 2 MONTHS OLD AND HAS BEEN TO THE WELDING SHOP TWICE. BECAUSE YOU STAND BESIDE THE FOOT BARS NOT ON TOP OF THEM THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FOOT BARS AND THE FLYWHEEL AXLE SHEARS OFF DUE TO TORQUE. POOR DESIGN AND QUALITY

It took a while to figure out how to put it all together, but it was all doable. I thought I was missing some of the screws but they were in a holding position in some of the parts, so everything was there. The "cosmetic parts" (pieces of plastic that cover the joints) were tedious to apply. Still, it was all worth it in terms of the finished product. The assembled unit is strong, smooth, and silent. I had tested several brands in sporting goods stores but this is superior in terms of strength, ride, and warranty. The display panel is nothing fancy. There are no major bells and whistles. No gimmicks. But definitely high quality unit that is built to last.

This elliptical trainer is designed and built in Germany and is rock solid. Even purchasing probably the lowest end product, it is quality built. The monitor was confusing and the directions are not the best, but it is not so complicated that we can't figure it out. The noise level is non-existent. The footprint makes it possible to put in any room. The warranty was one of the best I found. I will reccommend this company and their products to everyone.
