3.0 out of 5 stars a mess to assemble, but good value
I decided to try some generic-branded elliptical hoping to save some money.

It's not a bad buy, but you have to be careful with the instructions. The manual was written for a different version of the elliptical and some of the steps you have to revise due to parts being different in the model shipped vs. the model in the manual.

The biggest key...

The box it arrived in was badly damaged and the elliptical almost fell out of the bottom when we picked up the box to bring it inside. I was surprised that pieces weren't missing. I started to put it together and it took about 45 minutes. The directions were easy to follow, except for the nuts and bolts, I guessed which ones they were referring to because there is no guide that tells you which one is which. Getting the pedal bars on the base of the machine was the most difficult task. By the time I had it put together I was sweating.
After the assembly using it is very simple and it does what an elliptical should do. I find that the right handle seems to move a little so I will have to see if I can tighten it a little more. The display went dead in just a few days but after putting some new non-generic batteries it seems to be working okay.
It is easy to move around the house and doesn't take up a lot of space. When you are on it it doesn't move around like I read in reviews of other ellipticals. Overall, now that I have it all put together and the display works, I am happy with it.

3.0 out of 5 stars a mess to assemble, but good value, December 4, 2009

I decided to try some generic-branded elliptical hoping to save some money.

It's not a bad buy, but you have to be careful with the instructions. The manual was written for a different version of the elliptical and some of the steps you have to revise due to parts being different in the model shipped vs. the model in the manual.

The biggest key thing to watch out for is that the bolts for the pedal arms are threaded for left-only, right-only. You can't screw the left bolt in the right pedal arm and vice versa.

It's a bit squeaky when built, but otherwise it hasn't fallen apart on me so far.

It works decent and I will continue to use it until it falls apart but I don't think I would buy it again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing But Problems, March 29, 2009
By H. Burch (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After looking around and doing some comparison shopping, I decided to take a chance on this elliptical. My products from Amazon.com have always been good quality and I've never had any problems, until now. The first time I received this elliptical it was very badly damaged from shipping. When my husband opened the box, the styrofoam appeared to have just been tucked in here and there and did not encase or protect the product, hence the damage. We contacted Amazon.com, as there was no manufacturer contact information included in the instructions that we could find that would allow us to acquire any replacement parts, and asked them to exchange our damaged elliptical for a new one (on a high note, through this whole process, Amazon.com has given us wonderful customer service, unfortunately we cannot say the same for the product they are selling.) They came and picked up the damaged elliptical the next day and the day after that I had my new replacement elliptical. This elliptical was well-packaged and their was no damage to the product, but when it came to connecting the pedals onto the machine, we realized that the company had shipped us two right pedals instead of a right and left. This made it impossible for the screw on the left side to fit and thus impossible to connect the pedal to the frame, making this machine useless. After two strikes, not to mention poor assembly instructions, I am not taking another chance on this product and am returning it to Amazon.com for a full refund. I do not normally write reviews on what I buy, but I do read them often to help me make decisions, so I felt it important to share my experience with others who are trying to find a good, yet affordable elliptical. My advice would be to not take a chance on this elliptical and continue to explore other options, as I will be doing once I have my refund.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Elliptical Cross Trainer, February 27, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
My ife absolutely loves this elliptical. She uses it when she can't get out to the track. Its not very large so it fits well into our bedroom. Both my wife and I have back problems and we are not always able to get out to the track. We use the elliptical for convenience and safety. This is a great machine for anyone looking for an elliptical. Its also built very well and well worth the money for us.
