I am quite happy with this purchase, I checked a number of possibilities but thought this seemed about the best match for my funds and needs. I usually train on my rowing ergo and indoor bike, but a shoulder tendon issue meant that I had to stop, for the moment, using the ergo and this machine has given me another option. I had a knee replacement operation 9 months ago, and the motion of this machine is fairly kind to the knee joint. It works well, up to expectations, I enjoy using it. The working of the monitor, though, is a little less than obvious, everything is there but perhaps not quite as intuitive as might be. Overall, very pleased.
