I finally received my trainer after almost a month, 24 days to be exact! The item shipped to a nearby warehouse the day after placing the order only to sit there. I contacted Amazon several times and Amazon promised to remedy the issue. On one occasion Amazon promised to ship item again but, it never happened. Amazon did not provide quality support in my opinion.

Product is ok. Got on sale at $700, which was good because I don't believe it is worth the full retail price. Basic frame of the product is good and sturdy. Outside casing is cheap plastic which came cracked and broken in a few insignificant places. Operation of the unit is good. I like the control panel and the options for that. The built in speakers for cd/mp3 player is also a nice touch, although the quality of sound is nothing to brag about.

Built solid, enjoyable to use and not at all difficult or time consuming to assemble. I am very happy with this equipment and the $800 sale price is a very good deal for this model. Only criticism is the box it was packed in wasn't sturdy enough for the weight and was falling apart when I got it.

For $800 you get an ultra quiet , well built, sturdy machine. This is money well spent and for me $800.00 is alot of cash so when I went searching for an elliptical I did a lot of reading up on them.

The warranty is by far the best on the market, the 18" stride is great (I am 5-11, 207 pounds). Its exremely low impact which is great for folks like me with bad shin splints! Easy to put together since I did myself in a little over an hour. The display is easy to use and read. It is very quiet and does not rock back and forth or sway from side to side. I have been using it almost every day of the week. This is not my first elliptical but I hope its my last for a long time. Good luck all!

I have had this machine for almost a month. It still seems like a great buy to me and I have been using italmost every day. Unlike alot of machines I read about this machine has a little fan built in that works. The built in speaker is kinda neat but is not the best. I have my machine near my pc anyhow so I wont use this feature much any how. I will update my review sometime up the road so all of you future buyers can have an honest opinion. Good luck and great health and fitness to all!

*UPDATE may 18th, 2008

I have now been using this machine for over a year. 0 malfunctions and has held up very well. I would recommend this machine highly. Happy shopping and good heath folks!

Got this from Amazon. The product arrived pretty quick. Took my wife and I about 1hr to put everything together.

I use it for 30 min. and I was sweating like crazy. I also like the built-in fan and speaker where you can hook up your ipod and listen to the music. THe forward peddling motion is a lot better than the reverse. There are some system out there that has smoother action, but personally, those system never really give me a true workout.

This model is not Precor, but it's not $2000 either. For the price, a home model, you can't really go wrong with this system.
