MaxKare Magnetic Elliptical Machine Trainer Smooth Quiet Driven with Front Flywheel/LCD Monitor/Dual Handles for Home Use

Shipping: Shipping was prompt and on time. You wont get this back in the box once you remove it. It is very well packed. Nothing was damaged, scratched, bent or broken.Assembly: Assembly is not difficult but it is time consuming. The directions, although very small print, were well written and easy to understand. Scan the directions or copy them to increase their size. I had to use a magnifying glass to read it. There are three "tricky" parts. 1). the bolts that connect the pedals to the base are left and right specific so watch that. 2) and 3) are on the main post. Leave the rubber bands on until you have the items hooked up or you will be fishing them out of the base/post.The unit is very stable ( I am 235lbs ), there is no squeaking or noises, runs real smooth. No side to side wobble.The stride is shorter than average. Think airborne shuffle with a little higher knees in stead of gazelle long stride 5 mile run. It is more like riding a bike standing up than your longer stride machines at the pay gym. It is not cramped, but it is not stretched out either. I hope that helps.I just go the unit yesterday so I do not know how long it will last. It seems sturdy so I am hopeful.

I've been wanting to buy an elliptical machine for a while now but they are usually around the $400 price mark for a decent one so I've been holding out. However, this unit was priced around $260 and with decent amount of people bought it and gave thumb up for it, I went ahead of bought it. It wasn't a Prime item but I actually received the unit within 5 days, which was really good. The unit came in a big box that's pretty heavy. Everything inside was very neatly and well packed, there was no moving parts at all. I actually had to have my husband helped with unpacking and assemble it, it wasn't too complicated but it took sometimes cause there was many parts needed to be assembled together. Once fully assembled, it's very sturdy, runs quietly, not loud at all like a treadmill, which I really hate because it's harder to do my exercise late at night. I'm a small 5ft 1 so this machine has no problem supporting my weight, however, even my husband at over 220 lbs, he still has no issue using this machine. Past few weeks, it's working great, it has good range of selection for resistant forces. Display panel is pretty basic but has good info. It requires no power to operate so it can be placed anywhere. I'd prefer doing my exercise at home and watching my favorite TV show rather than going to the gym and risk getting sick from all the germs happening right now. It's great to have it.

The elliptical arrived very well packed. When unpacking the box, I found the quality of this machine is higher than I anticipated. It is smooth and no stiff feelings when I use it.It took me a few hours to put together as I did not rush to assemble it. I think it's very important to follow the manual carefully to prevent installing wrong parts to holes which may lead to malfunction.For me, the stride length is comfortable. I'm 5'6". and it's very quiet during workout. VERY happy with this purchase, highly recommended it!

So far this machine seems to be well-made overall considering its price point. We haven’t used it much yet but I was generally impressed with its build quality.The package came mostly intact, but I did notice the right foot step was gouged a little in the back end, I’m not going to make a big deal out of it, I’ll just sand that smooth. No one’s foot is going to be so long as to scrape against it anyway. Some parts were actually just flopping around in the box and not really tied or taped down. Overall though everything was wrapped and packaged well.It took about 2 hours to put together. I think the instructions for assembly should have been printed on a larger sheet with larger diagrams. It’s too small the way it is now. Also, some of the diagrams were nice and sharp but a couple were blurry, in other words the resolution of the graphics file was way too low for print quality. Perhaps in making the manual they got some files mixed up? Some of the instructions weren’t very clear as well, I think if they hired a native English speaker with experience writing manuals, it would make assembling this less stressful. Also, I used some of my own grease to supplement the grease they already had in some of the sockets. There are a couple of issues in terms of assembly and design. First, for the swinging arm bars, the upper part kinda fit loosely. I tightened the bolts as much as possible and got one side to be wiggle free, but the other side rocks a little. It’s not going to fall off but it does feel cheap. Second, the information panel’s battery door can only be accessible by removing that whole panel from the mounting post. This is kind of lame. Speaking of which, there were no instructions for the use of the display panel, what the various display it cycles through means, etc. You can figure it out but there should’ve been instructions. I still don’t know what it means when the panel just shows “P”???When actually using it, it is very smooth and quiet. We have it on carpet and it does move a little side to side but I feel it’s very stable. Probably would be more stable if it was on hard floor.I will update this review if any issues arise. Overall for the money I’d buy this again.P.s. I did buy the extended warranty for this. Usually for exercise equipment I tend to buy extended warranty because when you see the reviews there are always people who get some defective part that breaks. At least I’ll be covered for the next few years.PROS:-relatively affordable-mostly solid construction-quiet-good workoutCONS:-some items in the package were loose-some parts that don’t fit well together-bad battery compartment location-some confusing instructions-some poor diagram image quality and small print-no manual or directions for the actual display panel-very basic LCD panel

It is very suitable for human exercise. It not only has the feeling of slope but also can adjust the weight. And the advantages of elliptical machine need to be installed by yourself. There is also a place with a water cup, which is very user-friendly. I like it very much.

Unfortunately, this product did not work for me. Instructions to put together very confusing. It’s noisy and a bad odor is coming from the machine. The company has been cooperating.

cant put one of the leg together cause there is a big mass of iron inside I can't put the legI send a message two weeks ago about this product I can't use it but no one ever get back to me I want to return
