I've bought other indoor equipment to work out with and lost interest. I love this one. I've used it consistantly everyday with out fail. If I could change one this though I would make the two cross bars on the bottom longer for a better "feel" of stability". It feels okay but for my own mind it could be better... if that makes sense.

I bought the machine put it together and started using it. It was not hard to assemble, but it does not hold weight over 200lbs. After the first few days i started having a problem with the pedal attached to the crank it was stripping and the pedal was coming off. So i called stamina they sent me new parts. Again i had to put it together...Again i was having a problem with the crank that was attached to the pedal it was stripping again and the pedal was falling off. The the belt went on the machine. So now i called statmina but i figured let me just get a whole new machine instead of playing with parts being shipped. So called amazon and they were great they sent me a new machine in 2 days and again i had to put it together. And yet again the pedal was being weighed down and stripped the screw which was held into the crank. So now i was disgusted and i called amazon and they are going to have both machines picked up with a full refund. So five stars to Amazon for being curteous and helpful. But cause of the false advertising and the trouble i went through with this machine only 1 star for this product. When it works, it works great. As long as you weigh less then 200 or maybe even less then that. Its just a very flimsy item, i guess you get what you pay for. I decided on getting a weslo, i was shocked when i opened it up and saw how heavy duty it was. It works great its stable and its weight requirment says up to 250 lbs and it lives up to that. So if your heavy and want an elliptical try weslo. They are a little more money, i payed 249.99 but worth it!

Description indicated that this device would support 250+ pounds
It lasted about 4 weeks before coming apart at the foot connection. Due to my weight most likely. Wish I could apply the money spent here on a more substantial product.

although the quality is some what poor. (wobbly) I found this product to be easy to assemble and well worth the price.

Surprisingly installation instructions were not difficult to understand. Installation did not take much time. I am using this equipment for about three weeks now. So far I am quite satisfied with the product. It is space saving and easy to move from one location to another by myself when required. It does not have fancy controls but serves the purpose I bought for. It is a good value for the money.
