YOSUDA Elliptical Machine - Elliptical Machine for Home Use, Elliptical Cross Trainer with Hyper-Quiet Magnetic Drive System, 16 Resistance Levels, with LCD Monitor

I am unable to go to the gym everyday and was looking for exercise equipment for a small apartment so that I can exercise. This eliptical machine is compact, sturdy and was not hard to assemble. Definitley worth the price.

For the first few days you own this machine it'll work fine, the height adjusters at the bottom are the worst thing but that can be overlooked. After 5 days you'll notice considerable creaking, so you'll tighten a bolt, problem fixed. Then while working out, the handle you hold onto slips out of the joint it's connected to, if you're quick you'll be fine otherwise you'll probably fall over and hurt yourself.You'll tighten it, but it will become loose after a while no matter what until one day you get a socket wrench and tighten it as tight as possible and even then it will feel like it's slipping. Also the creaking? It's back and there's some squeaking with it.You'll be constantly either, "Dealing with the nauseating noise you produce with each step" or you'll spend 15-30 minutes trying to make the machine stop screaming at you. Oh, also, there's a belt in the machine that might get knocked loose or misaligned and start scraping the side and you'll have to figure out how to fix that. On your own. Since, the guide and customer service make no note of accessing the insides of the machine itself.You might get through that though and put up with it. Then you'll smell something. It's a weird smell, like something burning. Then you'll notice the bolt connected to the axel handles on the machine. (They're at that joint behind your foot on the machine) is literally burning away when you work out on it. Not to mention the bolt used to fasten that part is too short and barely catches the nut for it. Eventually the whole thing wears down and the bolt starts slipping no matter how much tightening you do, because at that point the threads on the bolt start evaporating. Then it'll just break.Don't buy this, it might seem like a good idea, but take it from me, don't. You're just wasting money on cheap metal and plastic that'll annoy you more than you work out on it.

Gets used 5 days a week for 20 minutes or more, especially if I like the song that just started. It's a sturdy machine. Assembly wasn't difficult and comes with tools to put it together if you don't have any. The screen I stopped using after about a month was difficult to get batteries in and out of. I just put the phone on the shelf, put on the music, set the timer, and get to work. For the price, it's holding up well. I waited a while to write the review; I've had it for 14 months and it's worth the money.

I got this for Christmas this year I was excited. But it is a head ache. I put it together myself and was easy. But the left pedal would fall off after about a half hour of using, so I would get off and put it back on. I thought maybe I just didn’t have the strength to tighten all the way so my husband got his tools out and retighten everything for me. I was thinking nice now I’m good to go. Now today I was on it for about an hour and the left arm came off. Again I got off and retighten. On top of everything the tension doesn’t work my husband helped me double check that it was attached correctly but still doesn’t do anything. I looked on line and it says to open the motor part to see if it came loose. I just got the thing I should not have to do that 😞. I would send back if I hadn’t thrown out the box. So now when I use it I tighten everything and keep the tools next to me. And at least I am a beginner so I would love to have tension but for now I’m okay with out. You get what you pay for 😞

Ok so I actually love the elliptical! it’s perfect for me and my small apartment. I was intimidated at first because it came in pieces but when i opened it and went through and followed instructions it was clear and pretty simple to put together. It took me 1-2 hours to read through and put everything together. If you’re someone who is use to putting things like this together you will definitely get through this faster than I did. It says to read entire thing first so you don’t miss important steps or put the bolts and screws in the wrong place. I’m 300lbs it holds me nicely no problem, it’s pretty sturdy. I love everything about this and I’m happy with my purchase. It’s quite the only thing I wish was an added feature is a water bottle holder but I’m sore I can find one on Amazon or Walmart really quick.

This is the worst piece of exercise equipment I have ever bought. I knew an elliptical this far under $1000 would not be the most amazing item ever, but I did not think I would be buying something that is unsafe.I have had this elliptical for a little over two months and it falls apart on a weekly basis. The screws that "lock" into the arms and keep the machine as one piece is designed to start to unscrew its self as you use the machine. If you literally use this for too long without tightening the screws it will come apart as you are using the machine.The elliptical is so wobbly that the "tablet holder" is useless unless you want your tablet to be thrown onto the ground from the shaking of the machine. Even my phone starts to slide off, so I have to stop every few minutes to re-center it, which I guess maybe is good because that is around the time you have to start to retighten the screws on the arms of the machine.I have put together multiple items, including desks, entertainment centers, exercise bikes, things that are way more complex than this machine given its design. This is by far the worst purchase, and if it was not for the fact that you needed the original packaging to send this back for a full refund (which the packaging took up so much space I threw out too soon after holding onto it for a week), this would have been back within 30 days.Avoid this at all costs. Do yourself a favor and get a better quality machine, or look at a different piece of exercise equipment.
