Product arrived fast from Amazon. Assembly was easy. Great exercise machine. Go and buy! I got it for $109.99 so the present price is a steal at $82.00.
I bought this Gazelle 4 years ago and used it about 6 months before I became very bored with it. Let's just say that using this model Gazelle, since it has no resistance, is better than doing nothing at all. Better than sitting on the couch and trying to burn calories by punching the buttons on the remote control.
It's kind of fun - you feel a little like you are floating and weightless when on it, but it soon gets boring. I would use mine while watching some of my favorite shows on TV. The stretch it gives you feels good, and depending on what you put into it, for example, leaning more on your arms while pumping, you may build a little muscle, but as far as burning enough calories to lose weight, I just don't think this machine cuts it.
Luckily, I was able to get rid of this by selling locally on eBay. And I was able to purchase this instead: Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike which I really love and use almost every night - and have been for almost 2 years.

Okay, Im actually one of the people who read the reviews before purchasing. Although there were neg, there were more positive so I went on and bought it. however, I wish I could get my money back. This thing makes you feel like you are gliding on air. I didnt even sweat until like 20 minutes in and it was only a couple of beads of sweating? UGH, I am like a moderate workout person and since having a baby 10 weeks ago, I needed something to help shed the pounds, but this is not the machine for me. I ended getting a membership at the gym for only 20 bucks a month were their are real ellipticals and Im sweating in no time and doing 45 minutes. I now have my edge trainer listed on Craiglist for sale!!!!! There is absolutely no resistance on this thing!!!

Had this for a month now, works pretty good. Only real problem is the on-board computer can be unreliable due to the way it's mounted.

I'm 51 years old and due to an injury can no longer jog. Decided that weightlifting wasn't doing enough for me cardio wise so I purchased The Gazelle as a stepping stone to later on possibly buying a higher end ellyptical . Have had it for 1 month now and use it 3 days per week.The machine is much better built than I presumed and the workout is appropriate , my heart rate increases and I sweat so I guess it's doing something.At 6'2 and 235 lbs. I was concerned about the frame supporting me for 30 minutes per day 3 days per week but so far I've had to oil one squeaky area and tighten the bolts once and any machine with this much movement even in the $700.00 range you would have to do the same thing.You do have to get creative to make the workout more of a challenge but for $100.00 what do you expect.
I like this unit a lot, but it seemed to flow too easily and needed some resistance. I added a bungee cord, wrapped around the midway point of the handles, and by moving it up and down you can decrease/increase the tension. Thought the computer was a useless joke.
