Mine arrived with instructions. It was pretty easy to assemble. It works well and doesn't make a lot of noise, though it's not silent. The stride length is not adjustable and neither are the handlebars, so if you're very tall or very short then this one might not work for you.

The unit is really heavy, so you should probably have a mat or something underneath it. Make sure you can dedicate a space to it, because it's not easy to move it around.

The power cord plugs into the front of the machine, which is a little awkward for my set-up. An extension cord solved the problem, but be aware that you may need one as the power cord that ships with it is rather short (about 1m).

I also ordered this in January and it arrived with no instructions. I agree that it was fairly easy to assemble. I have had no luck in tracking down the manufacturer and obtaining instructions. Amazon provided me with contact information, but it's an international phone call and is a bank. oops. Other than that, the product works just fine - if only I knew what I was doing!

I purchased this trainer for $350 when it was a lighting deal. UPS dropped shipped the elliptical on my doorstep with no need for anyone to be home at the time of delivery (which is good because I work and am not able to be home). The box was quite large and weighed in the neighborhood of 130 pounds. The packaging was poor, but mine arrived with no visible damage. The elliptical was fairly easy to put together (some portions that are shown in the instructions are actually assembled at the factory). Overall it seems to be a fairly sturdy piece of equipment with a suggested maximum weight capacity of 250 pounds. Of course it's not as smooth as some of the higher end models, but for the price it appears to be a good deal.

My only real complaint so far is that the Amazon description indicates a 10 year frame warranty while the instructions indicate a 3 year frame warranty.

Also, it seems that some of these are shipped without instructions. I have gone ahead and scanned the instructions I received and they can be found at [...]

This elliptical machine is GREAT!! I use it at least 3 -4 times a week. I have already seen a difference. The machine came earlier than expected and it was easy to put together. I had no problems whatsoever. I love that it doesn't take up much room where I set it up. Great machine :0)

It was good for first few weeks then it starts to make noise which is very discouraging to use this machine. I am thinking of disposing it to thrash.

I love this elliptical. I had been wanting one for such a long time when I came across this one. It was really easy to put together. It was quiet and runs smoothly. It gives you a good workout. I love it and would recommend this to everyone!

I have had this for quite some time and have had zero problem with it. One of the plastic parts (didn't impact usage) arrived broke, customer service leaves a bit to be desired BUT they did replace the part for free (just took longer than I expected). I use this a few times a week, it's smooth, quiet, and effective and the price was great (got it on gold-box)

This is really a great elliptical for the price. It was easy to assemble (mine came with instructions) and it's very quiet when using. It's got an 18" stride and adjustable resistance, which were the most important to me when I was shopping around. I took a few weeks to research which elliptical would be the best buy for my money and I am happy to report that I made the right choice!

The elliptical seems great. We didn't receive instruction manual either. I would think the company would want you to get the full benefit of their product; that is difficult without an instruction manual. If anyone has knowledge of the manufactor or contact info to request a manual, please share.

It came damaged. The frame is not stable and it makes alot of noise. Plus the computer is primitive and tricky to use.
