This product is great and easy to use. The instructions have no pictures and it's a little difficult to put together - a bit of patience is needed. Also not great for tall people. I'm short so it's perfect for me.

I received my elliptical in the mail yesterday. I absolutely love it! It is really great for the price, and keeps track of how many calories you have burned, etc. I am 5'11 and there was no problem with it being too short. Putting it together was frustrating, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The only difficult part is getting the tension cables put together because there are no pictures. Otherwise, it is great! It is slim and compact so I can keep it hid away, and it is not too heavy to drag out.

This machine was surprisingly easy to put together, maybe took 30 minutes tops.
It is a nice size for a small apartment or office space. It is quiet except for a few clunks every now and then from inside the pedal mechanism which counts the steps. Goes backwards and forwards with a smooth transition. The little computer was handy, but after a month of use it has malfunctioned. (Could be a low battery) It is perfect for the person who has a desk job, a busy parent, or unmotivated people. It is also perfect for people with knee and hip problems as it slowly strengthens the legs and booty muscles and helps with balance issues.

Moved back in with mom needed a small workout machine. Mom likes it too. Gives you a good workout.

The machine is a dream. My daughters use it and can stash it in a very small closet when not. I also find it a great workout. It is not as hard to assemble as previous reviews stated, it goes together pretty easy. AND IT IS REALLY PRETTY!!!!!! Go Pink People!!!! Buy this one---you won't be sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

THE FULL CYCLE OF THE ELIPTICAL IS FAR TOO SMALL FOR AN ADULT, ITS LIKE PEDDLING A TRICYCLE. NOT WORTH THE PRICE FOR AN ADULT, FOR A FIVE YEAR OLD ITS JUST ABOUT RIGHT.

I purchased this item in early December of last year. It is now the end of April, and it still works. I use it a few times a week. I like that it does not take up much space in my apartment, and I like that it has handles for stability. It was quite easy to assemble and it weighs very little, making it easy to move around. However, I have had two minor issues with this machine:
1. The computer never really worked properly. This is not a big deal for me because I listen to audiobooks while I work out and use that to measure the time, so I don't even use that part.
2. The stride is shorter than that of a larger elliptical machine. I am 5'5" tall, and I think that someone taller than me might experience problems using this machine. My husband is unable to use it and says that it hurts his knees, and he is approximately 5'9" tall. I do not experience knee problems personally, but if you are taller or have difficulty with your knees this might not be the machine for you.
