Customer Reviews
A space saver, but.........
Bought this because it's a space-saver. I was not expecting too much, but this is a very bad elliptical unit. The limited range of motion combined with the irregular pumping action one experiences as you `cycle' through your steps make this machine a very, very poor choice for your supplemental workout (knees in particular). Better to spend an extra $100 - $200 and buy a larger unit that includes the moving arm-poles for a more total body workout. Something that gives you a smooth `ride' along with an adjustable stride. Several years ago, I bought a slightly more expensive machine with the desirable features I've listed above. It was big -- definitely not a space saver -- but it worked just fine and didn't cost a ton of money (sold it when I moved). I've learned my lesson and will be returning my purchase to Walgreens...and then start shopping for a better machine.
