What did customers like about this elliptical trainer? Quotes from customers: ‘This is a fairly compact, noiseless and easy-to-assemble machine and it does its job… a great purchase for a small space or for someone who wants to be able to stow away exercise equipment easily.’ and ‘I had mixed feelings about purchasing this because of its size and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get a good cardio on it. Boy was I wrong. When I workout on this my heart rate ranges from 145-160 which is exactly where I want it to be. It’s very sturdy but does take a little getting used to as far as balancing on it but you can get a great workout from it.’ Also ‘Very easy to assemble and does a good job for a low price. Some people may have a bit of trouble keeping their balance, but I had no difficulty after a few spins on this — I think trying to maintain balance only enhances the effects of the workout.’

What didn’t people like?

The range of motion is smaller than on a full sized elliptical trainer and it takes a while to get used to balancing without arm rests.
