| Made a great deal; it was delivered on time; and I was using it within hours of receipt. Very well made product, sturdy, smooth, and quiet. Computer display is not as well lit as I'd like, but easily overcome with ambient lighting. Good value for the money. |

| The product was fairly easy to assemble and worked great the first few weeks. Since then there is a very loud knocking noise any time the elliptical is used. I asked Schwinn customer service to come fix the problem. 2 boxes of repair parts showed up at my door but they have still not scheduled a service call and it has been 3 weeks. I've emailed them and called several times, but I just wait on hold for 20+ minutes without and can't reach anyone. Customer service is pitiful, at this rate my warranty will expire before they fix the issue. It's a shame because this is otherwise a good machine. |

| I did a lot of research on ellipticals before deciding on this Schwinn option from Amazon. The price and free delivery really put it over the top. There were no problems with installation. All the parts were in the box (except the water bottle) and everything went together as described. The product is very sturdy - no rocking or side to side action. My wife and I have both been using it with no issues. Great elliptical trainer for a home gym. |

What a great piece of elliptical machine. I purchased mine through Craigslist for only $200 bucks! What a steal right?! Assembled a few parts and I was ready to give it a try...IT WAS VERY STURDY AND SMOOTH!!! I can honestly say, this is probably one of the best elliptical machines I have ever used!
Now off I go losing some extra weight!!! |

| The only bad things about this product is that a screw was missing and that the screen is hard to read. Besides that I love it, It was a well worth money. I am 5'3" and the stride is perfect for me. It is a very smooth machine. |

This is a really nice piece of equipment. I was surprised at how well made it is considering the very low price. Note on putting it together: some of the hardware is already on the trainer parts and so it won't be in the bag of hardware provided. Initially I thought I was missing items.

| I have been very happy with my elliptical until just recently. My muscles haven't looked and felt like this in years. BUT, it has started to make some noises that I don't know how to fix. I tried tightening everything I could think of and now need to call the company. Until I can contact them and see what the results are, I will have to leave it at a semi happy with the product. The one thing I have liked so much is that it has been sooooo quiet. Now, we shall see if Schwinn comes through for me. |

LOVED THIS MACHINE!!! I've been using it for 10 minutes now and have alreday lost 160 calories!!! THis was so easy to put together and now I have my own mini-gym in my house. love it, love it, love it. Since I've only used it for a day, I don't know if it's reliable so far, but I'll keep you all posted. This machine is really stable, I'll tell you that, though. It's like gliding on air. |

| Great product and VERY easy assembly. I would say the assembly took us 45 minutes. Other reviews had mixed comments about the sturdiness and how much it wobbled, but my boyfriend and myself both use it and have yet to feel unsafe or have it wobble during use. It is a solid machine, just make sure you assemble it correctly and tighten the bolts. I would recommend putting in on a flat surface, ours is on carpet but still works great. My only disappointment was that the timer only counts up, you can't chose an amount of time and have it count down for you. GREAT Value. |
