We had an old NordicTrack that we wore out. I got this elliptical since they give a better workout in terms of the number of muscles used and the type of motion, and it is indeed better. On my old NordicTrack you had to be careful not to let the "skis" get off track, while with this model that is not a problem. The display is great, though it doesn't have a back light so it is hard to read in low light. I like the heart beat monitor and timer. The motion is smooth and easy. I get a better workout with less effort since I don't have to worry about any skis. My wife likes it as well and uses it as part of her weight loss program. I like it for working out in the winter time, since splitting wood in cold weather doesn't work up a sweat and after 15 or 20 minutes on this machine I am sweating well which keeps the pores clear and prevents winter time pimples and keeps the skin healthy and "oiled" which prevents dry skin in the winter time.
This unit is well built and the assembly was fairly easy, for a maintenance mechanic. I can see how people who can't turn a screw may have some problems if they fail to pay attention to the directions which could be better illustrated. Some squeaking is normal with these units and can be solved by some lubrication, but so far I haven't had to add any grease to what it came with. As far as the rollers staying on the tracks that one reviewer complained about, we haven't had any problems at all, but then we are used to using a NordicTrack which took some coordination.
This model is a great buy since it is "bottom" model and has the important features of the more expensive models above, while lacking the frills and the higher price. Good bang for the buck with this model.
