Image Elliptical By mseg16222 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
I have tried a few other elliptical machines and have liked them a little better than this one. But the one thing on this one that I am not certain that I am really happy about it the stride length. It doesn't seem to be big enough. I have long legs being 5ft 9in. but would like it to be a little longer. Also I feel like I have to keep my knees at a strange bent angle that is not comfortable for long periods of use. But for the price it wasn't bad so I use it for no more then 30 minutes at a time.
Item was a little complicated to assemble and required 2 people for some parts of it. I like that is has a fan and the different resisitance settings. The incline angles are bad either and are very easy to operate. Overall it is an average elliptical trainer.

I don't think I've seen an eliptical that has a fan on it-what a great feature!!
The length and width of the platform is really important for a comfortable workout. If the equipment feels odd, flimsy or uncomfortable it is more likely to become a clothes rack.
I can't figure out why they made the stride length so short. Is this something you could write the manufacturer about? Maybe they have a fix or work around for that. After all many men and women are over 5'9 in height.
I am currently looking for an elliptical-and at 5'8, this doesn't sound good for me. Thanks for the info!
We need this but the price is high..
