My wife mainly uses this product since I bought it for her but I use it from time to time and it is a great machine. I just wish that the stride was adjustable but all in all it is wonderful.
Pros: Easy To Use, Operates Smoothly, Quiet, Sturdy Base
Cons: Hard To Store
I would recommend this to a friend!

It has settings for beginners all the way up to very fit people. My cardio was never a strong point I'm more into weights however this thing owns me which makes me want to be better at the cardio side. #sweepstakes

This machine is quiet, sturdy and challenging. The lower settings have a higher level of resistance than what some machines offer, so you have to get going; but overall, I take that as a positive. It feels like having a gym-quality machine at home.
Pros: Operates Smoothly, Quiet, Sturdy Base
I would recommend this to a friend!
