Niceday Elliptical Exercise Machine, Elliptical Machine for Home, Magnetic Elliptical Trainer with 15.5IN-19IN Stride, 16 Resistance Levels, 400LBS Loading Capacity, Support Kinomap APP

It's not electric.

Background: I've used ellipticals before and liked them, but it's hard for me to motivate myself out of the house. I'm female and a hair under 5'7" with normal torso/leg proportions. I'm glad I got the 19" stride length. Assembly: Not too bad. I've assembled a lot of furniture, and this was easier than a lot of that. HOWEVER, the instructions were terrible. I ended up using them together with a YouTube video, the combination of which made it easy. Noise: Super quiet Sturdiness: after about a week it started to make noise, so I went around with a wrench tightening stuff. Since I got it properly tight, I haven't had issues. So that was my bad. :) It's stable and sturdy. NOTE: I recommend also buying a mat to go underneath it. I got the 30x60" Cycleclub one here on Amazon, and it works really well. Machine hasn't budged on it. Enjoyment: It's great. I've gotten way more exercise than I would have otherwise and in a few weeks I've gone from laboring and sore in 20minutes on level 7 to endorphin-rush and sore for 30 minutes on level 10.

I was looking for a simple elliptical machine that doesn't require electricity or make much noise. I read several positive reviews and decided to order this one. It came in a big heavy box that the delivery guys thankfully delivered to my front door and then I drug it inside on my own. I opened the box and set all the loose pieces aside on a table. It was packed very well. My first glance at the instructions filled me with dread but then when I actually started to look at them along with the loose pieces, I realized the instructions weren't that bad at all. They showed helpful pictures (don't get discouraged by all the numbers - they DO make sense). It took me more like an hour to put it together but it really did come 90% pre-assembled. It came basically folded in half but once you assemble it, it'll stay in its assembled position (you can't fold it up and tuck it away). The "putting together" part consisted of screwing in screws and bolts in various places - quite easy actually. Once assembled, the instructions said to use it for 10 minutes to test it. It actually exceeded my expectations. It really is silent. Sometimes I wake up at 4 and can't go back to sleep but I also can't really exercise because of all the other people in my house. I'm thrilled that I can actually do something that will make me sweat and not wake anyone up now! It's a very smooth operation. It's simple. The digital computer starts up when the pedals move so you don't even have to turn it on. You can set the timer if you want. When you stop, the computer will turn itself off after 4 minutes of inactivity. It has 16 levels of resistance. I haven't been this excited about a purchase for a very long time. I love that it doesn't take up half a room. Oh, AND it's easy to move! I bought a 2x4 foot mat for it to sit on but it doesn't need one. I would say the depth is actually more like 140 cm instead of the 100 cm advertised. It might be 100 cm when the machine is resting and the pedals and handles have returned to "center" position but when it's in motion, you'll actually need 140 cm (55 in) of room available for things to move around. The width (2 ft) and height (5 ft) are spot on accurate. I'm 5'8" and my husband is 6'1". We both find it comfortable for strides.

Made well. Clear assembly instructions. Tighten all bolts and it’s nice and quiet!

This is an initial write-up as I have only had for 2 days, but so far, very impressed. I am 6-2" and am used to the pro machines at Planet Fitness. This one is comparable in resistance available and stride length. Good sturdy quiet and comfortable elliptical. I am 6-2" and am used to the pro machines at Planet Fitness. This one is comparable in resistance available and stride length. DISPLAY: good with all the usual, plus you can set to SCAN or stay on one display. It can be a bit hard to see the display if the light is not just right. I use my watch for tracking mostly anyway. FOOT PADS. I also wear a size 15 and the foot pads have plenty of room. Although the ad pictures show a textured surface like they MAY be padded, they aren't. At home, i like to exercise in sock feet, so i cut out foot pads from an older exercise mat. Problem solved. DRINK HOLDER: there is not one. STURDINESS: So far no problems with it holding my weight or moving around under strenuous activity. (I will note that i first bought a PooBoo machine that advertised 400# capacity. When it got here, a placard on machine and in the owners manual clearly stated 110Kg - 242#). This one is advertised and supported in documentation at 400#. BUILD: At 6-2 the arm height is almost perfect. I am at the top of the bars when exercising, but very comfortable. I would guess above 6-4 or 6-5 you may be reaching down some. NOISE LEVEL: There is none. This thing is super quiet. I had a bump-bump-bump when i first started, but tracked it to a couple bolts I didn't tighten down good when I put it together. ASSEMBLY: About 45-1hr as advertised, especially with one person. After doing one, I could probably get that down to 30 minutes tops. COMFORT: Fits me good. The only issue I am currently working is that it FEELS like the foot-pads are slightly inclined towards the machine just a tad. Tends to want to walk your feet forward as you exercise. The PF machines also tend to walk a bit, so don't know if this is standard or not. Going to play around with rising the front end an inch or two to see if that helps. Not a biggie. This machine costs a little more than other machines, but from my experience so far the value is definitely there. I think i made the right decision on this one and will enjoy it for quite a while

Easy to assemble. Comfortable to use. Simple. Computer is a nice touch. Love the "scan" feature as the computer runs through all the modes (speed, distance, time, pulse rate, etc.). Quiet. Easy to hear my music or the tv over the elliptical. Wouldn't be durable enough for a commercial gym. But lovely for home use. Definitely worth the money. I am not a tall person, so the stride length has never been a consideration. The unit has wheels on the front so you can move it around easy. Love this thing.
