My doctor advised me to get an Elliptical and I selected Blowflex., since I had the Blowflex machines before. Very disappointed in smoothness of operation.
Pros: Easy To Use
Cons: Hard To Store, Machine noisy and wobbles a-lot in use. Not good, Noisy, Wobbles Under Use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

For as big as the box was, could have been preassembled. Top much packaging and hard to dispose of styrofoam. Doesn't accurately count calories, compared to other machines or my fitbit. Takes up twice as much space as my old machine.
Cons: Difficult To Use, Hard To Store
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I recently had back surgery and bought this machine to help strengthen my core to prevent any further injuries as well as improve my overall physical health.
Pros: Easy To Use, Operates Smoothly, Quiet, Sturdy Base
I would recommend this to a friend!
