An engaging piece of equipment that’s robust and not particularly hard to assemble. It seems well built and is nice and sturdy so I’m expecting a good number of years of use out of it. I’m 5’ 11” and weigh 84kg so bought this to shed a bit of weight and get fit - and I think it’s going to do that. It’s very comfortable so I don’t dread getting on it and the console is easy to use with a good few different programs built-in. It’s quiet as well and when my breathing gets loud and heavy (as it always does on this machine) I can hear only myself but nothing from the elliptical. The speakers are really not great but hey ho I can overlook that and will just stick to my headphones. Overall I’m giving this 5 stars, even with the less than brilliant speakers, as it’s doing a great job for me and has ticked literally all of the boxes. It’s comfortable, does it’s job, is built well and, importantly for a miser like me, didn’t break the bank!
