- Elliptical Exercise Machine, Elliptcal Machine for Home, 15.5IN&16IN&20IN Stride Elliptical Machine, 500LBS Loading Capacity, Elliptcal Training Machine with 16 Level Resistance

I purchased this because Shape magazine rated it as the best budget elliptical machine. I was still a little skeptical though, since it was only $400. It was super easy to put together with only a few major pieces that needed to be attached. It was too heavy for me to lift but my adult son lifted it easily. It's very sturdy and well put together. I tried it for the first time last night and am so happy with it! I thought for sure it would be jerky or hard to use but it runs so smoothly and easily! It's also silent so I was able to watch t.v. while using it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants an elliptical machine but doesn't want to spend thousands.

I bought the Classic Elliptical CT11S. The quality and function of this machine are so much better than I expected, or even hoped for! I paid $20 extra to have the box delivered to the room of my choice. (Getting it inside and downstairs would've been the hardest part.) Taking my time and making sure I read the directions carefully, it took 90 minutes to assemble the elliptical at a leisurely pace. There's nothing confusing or difficult about the assembly, and the necessary tools were included. The peddling is smooth as silk and quiet as a whisper. My breathing is much louder than the machine. Lol! The tension knob to increase or decrease difficulty works well. The machine is easy to move and roll out of the way if needed. Some reviews have compared it to the commercial-grade ellipticals at the gym. They're not the same thing and if you want to spend $7500+, go for it. But good luck getting that thing out of your house when you don't want it anymore and good luck finding someone to repair it if it breaks down. Plus, this elliptical takes up a much smaller footprint than the big ones at the gym. I get a great workout with this and the quality is unbelievable at this price point. I'm so glad I bought it and I highly recommend!

For the money, this is a good elliptical. It was easy to assemble, it's lightweight and easy to move around, and it's quiet. You cannot adjust the stride on the one I bought, so the title of this item is misleading as it mentions a stride range. If you want that feature, make sure you're purchasing the right one (not the Classic CT11S). My only complaint so far is that, if you let go of the poles, you are leaning back a bit and it's very uncomfortable. I like to be able to walk/run on it hands-free and I can't really do that. I'm also a bit concerned about the dial for resistance, as it seems like it might wear out, but we'll see how it goes! I needed a cheap elliptical to get myself back in the swing of things, so I think this is perfect for that. I will upgrade to a nicer one if I maintain my routine. :)

Ordered this for my bedroom/ office space and it’s the perfect size. Assembly took me an hour and instructions were very clear. No wobbling AT ALL. I still need to test it out so I’ll update then, but this is a SOLID elliptical. Never had one before and hate going to the gym. Cant wait to try it out and get moving! Definitely worth the price so far. Updates to come… UPDATE: Managed half a mile and even on plush carpet it is sturdy (some wiggle room due to soft surface, but I might find wood or something to place under the bases) VERY smooth and VERY quiet so I can watch my show in peace while I sweat it out! 10/10 recommend!!

I am so happy with this purchase! I had knee surgery (partial meniscectomy) a few weeks ago, and my doc recommended the elliptical for rehab, but I knew going to the gym, especially in winter would be hard for me, so I bought this one. I struggled with whether to buy the classic design with the 15.5 inch stride, or to go with the higher priced version with the longer stride. I was on a budget so I decided to go with the classic C11S. Assembly wasn't too bad. I did it by myself (I'm old and fat), but I can see where a second person would make the job much quicker and easier. I used the provided tools and it took right at an hour. I did not attached the long handlebars since I never use them, and I have space constraints. I love the small design and footprint. My house is small, but it fits beside my full-sized treadmill without issue. I slide it out from the wall when I use it so the pedals have room to swing, but it is fairly lightweight and the wheels make it easy to move. I am accustomed to ellipticals in the gym, so I didn't have high hopes for this one because it is so small - but my mind has changed on that. I was fairly fit before my knee took me down for six months, but with weight gain and loss of fitness I hoped this would still challenge me, and it does! For my first workout I did 40 minutes on the lowest resistance, and was able to get my heart rate into zone 4, which is where I like to be for cardio fitness. So I know as I lose the weight and get more fit I will still have room to grow with this elliptical since I started at the lowest resistance level. The stride feels shorter than a gym machine (duh) but it is not uncomfortable at all. I did find that if you try to pedal very slowly it does feel a bit jerky on the downstroke, but that's going verryy slowly. So if you're just pedaling during a workout, it is very smooth - and absolutely silent. You can pedal in reverse, but that didn't feel as smooth to me. I am 5'7" and about 220 pounds, and this elliptical felt very stable. No shaking or wobbling. I thought I might get a pad to go under it to protect my floor, but it doesn't slide around during use, even on hardwood. There is no incline, but I really don't miss it, at least not yet. I couldn't be happier. This elliptical is a godsend for rehabbing my knee in the comfort of my home.

This elliptical looked intimidating when I first pulled it out of the box, but once I took off all the tape/packaging and laid the pieces out, it seemed fairly simple. The booklet was easy for me to understand- and I have never been good at following instructions for assembling. The machine is a bit heavy, but I actually found that using one of the long sturdy tubes within the packaging made it possible to prop the machine up front and back to put on the steel frames. (Pic attached) -There was no point in assembly that the machine needed to be flipped on its side. -I assembled this elliptical in less than 1 hour by myself. -The machine arrived without damage. -It looks and feels high quality -The machine arrives in a folded position, but once assembled it does NOT fold up for storing (I can only speak on the model I bought, the original/classic elliptical) I'm moderately strong and was able to securely tighten all the bolts, but I would suggest having another person tighten more if you're concerned about your ability to tighten them all the way. This will avoid shaking, wobbling, and potentially stripping the bolts over time. I have yet to use this machine for a full workout, but I did step on it and the elliptical is super quiet, has good resistance, and is extremely sturdy. I was able to move it fairly easily to a new spot in the living room as well. Perfect for apartment living, especially if you live above someone. Overall super happy with this product. I will report back if anything changes.

Box was extremely damaged-rips and holes. Package had openings to the point where the equipment could be seen, and parts could have fallen out. But so far, the machine itself was able to be put together in a reasonable amount of time and appears to work fine.

Great machine for the price. I have had it for almost two years now and it has held up. It is indeed quiet and has stayed quiet for two years now. I don't think the path is actually 15", it's more like 13", but it works. The resistance levels were plenty for me, I never set it all the way to max. I was able to use it for different cardio goals, whether HIIT or maintaining steady zone 2 cardio. It's a good workout, you will sweat a lot and can burn many calories.

Ok, first things first. You will need help bringing it in and getting it out of box. Although I did it on my own I would not recommend it. This product weighs 105lbs and is super awkward to move. Okay now onto the review- It is SUPER EASY to set up! Once it’s set up it’s easy to move 👍 It is not only “quiet” it’s SILENT!! You can’t hear anything at all once you are on it!!! It has every feature you’d ever need. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND buying this product without hesitation. Well worth every cent!

Excelente es igual al de la imagen. Se siente de buen material.

The mechanical part of it works well. The electronics doesn’t. The various modes -(calorie count, distance, time) - none of it works.

excelente equipo... muy silencioso

It was long time being delivered but once received it was easy to assemble and is nice and quiet and does the job. No issues at this time. Only had it for a few weeks.
