What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Runs smoothly without making any noise. Only issue after all this time is that a couple of the pivot points have gotten a little squeaky.
It is a great alternative for days when i need some extra cardio. The thump thump as i work out is still there. You need to hold onto the handles a little tight and it eventually ramps up from a comatose number.
Overall it’s nicer than i expected for the money. The machine is spectacular! Definitely meets my expectations.
At 5'6 i’ve got plenty of headroom (this was our biggest concern). I'm 5'4 and the stride is adequate. Our ceiling height is 7 ft, 2 inches.
Simple controls to just hop on and go with a good amount of resistance at the max. The strides are short, but the resistance adds to the challenge. It is taking me a little time to find my right pace and resistance.
Cons
The noise when using this machine is deafening. The machining process is sub-par.
It rides smooth, but there’s no resistance setting that isn’t a preprogrammed idea of “rolling hills” or something wack like that. The only workout you'll get from this thing is from lugging it to the dumpster.
