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.
