This machine is a gem. I've owned it from 2003 or 2004, and it has never had to be lubricated or maintained, per se. It's still running as good as it did in the beginning, with light usage. I'm a big guy and it's accommodated me well. I give it my full endorsement.

I've been using this machine at my work Gym for the last 2 months on a regular basis. I love the workout programs and the way the machine feels. However just this week I broke the machine!! It turns out that the flywheel attachment bolt has sheared due to metal fatigue. I am not particularly stressing the machine and at 240lbs shouldn't be causing this kind of damage to professional gym equipment (the maximum user weight is 350lbs according to their specs). The machine is used lightly by the staff at my company (maybe 1.5 hours use a day at best). Maybe we had a particularly week machine or lower quality machine where the welds weren't done properly. Other than this issue, it's a nice machine to use. Very comfortable.

Anyway, if you're a professional gym outfit, be wary. Make sure you get a warranty!

This is a well built machine....but I can only work on it for 20 minutes and then I have to get off it as the balls of my feet go numb! I gave this elliptical away and was very disappointed that I couldn't get more use out of it. It did have some very good programs on it. I was told that the foot pedals are to far apart and that's why the balls of the feet go numb....it's not anatomically correct :(
