Surprisingly easy to assemble . The video they send you after delivery was very helpful . Easy to follow instruction manual . It took us about 2.5 hours but that was also with a 8 month old crawling around grabbing stuff :) . Easy to use display screen . Quite and smooth . Very sturdy and stable . I will say it's very large so make sure you have the room . Hoping to get many years of great workouts !
Pros: Easy To Use, Operates Smoothly, Quiet, Sturdy Base
Cons: Hard To Store
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very impressed with the overall quality. I assembled it myself using very easy to follow instructions. This elliptical has a lot of features. Very happy with the product so far. The available app to track progress was an unexpected plus.

The inside part of bars comes in a little too close. Its a little hard to take a drink of water or check my watch.

Good Quality product

Pleased with the machine so far for the first week. Took about 3 hours to put together. Lots of grease at the joints so have a rag nearby to keep your hands clean. Instructions were easy to understand for the most part. The plastic covers at the joint on the handlebar arms need better clips where they snap together. The right side cover broke one of the clips when I first installed it so I have to use a piece of tape now to hold it together. (reason for 4 starts) I'm monitoring the distance tracker as it seems to be reporting too low after a workout. I'm comparing that to other ellipticals I have used for similar timed workouts.
Pros: Operates Smoothly, Quiet, Sturdy Base

I use the Elliptical every other morning. I really like the display. I was surprised to see it has a fan. It's just enough to keep me cool when I start breaking a sweat. It's practically silent. The install took me roughly 2 hours but it was simple. I took my time to make sure I installed everything correctly.

I set a goal to exercise and was told an elliptical would be good to use. I tried it at the gym and loved it. The Bowflex brand is extremely better than the gym brand.
