Sunny Health & FitnessProgrammable 16 Electro-Magnetic Elliptical Cross Trainer Exercise Machine, Full-Body Cardio Equipment w/ 24 Pre-Built Workouts, 330LB Capacity,Optional Free SunnyFit App Link

Want an elliptical without spending a fortune? This is worth considering. It is sturdy, surprisingly so, and looks like it will last a typical home user for many years. It is quiet enough that it won't disturb other people in the house, even if you use it in the early morning. The LCD display is pretty basic, but is adequate and provides you with the most important information about your workout.People were saying that this could be put together in 45 minutes. Either some reviewers are lying, or I am really slow. Sunny does recommend two people put this together, and I did it by myself. I think if I were to put it together again, or I was someone who put these together for a living, it might taKE 45 minutes. It took me about 2 hours. Granted, I took my time, but you still need to identify parts and figure out where they go. The bolts and washers are attached to a plastic covered piece of cardboard, making that part easy, but some of the diagrams could be better, and if the individual components were labeled with stick-on tags, you might actually be able to finish in 45 minutes. Still, I have to say that the assembly was a lot easier than putting together a table from Ikea. Sunny has done a pretty good job of making sure the average person could put this together properly. Don't be put off by the task.After putting it together, I discovered that I was missing one of the trim pieces. I contacted Sunny online and left a message. To their credit, they responded and arranged to ship out the part, at no cost to me, within 24 hours of my message. Very good customer support.Bottom line: I am very pleased with this machine and would recommend anyone looking for an elliptical, consider this one.Update: I've been using this pretty much daily now, for 5 months and it still works great. It did develop a squeak where the right foot rest attaches to the machine. Tightening the bolts didn't make much difference. A simple fix was to remove the foot rest and put a strip of duct tape along the rail to keep the foot rest from rubbing against the metal rail. Then reinstalled the foot rest and the squeak is gone. It's whisper quiet again.

I have had this elliptical for 3 years now, which shows it is durable. I use it 4-5 times per week for 25 minutes each time. I like that it has a cellphone holder and a place to put your thermos. The only thing is you kind of need to add some oil to the parts because otherwise it can be a bit noisy. My husband services it about once a year when it starts making noise again.Great value for the price.

First impressions - I've used it four times so far. Assembly was pretty easy. Instructions were decent, a lot of steps, but I took it slow and had no problems. You'll probably want to use your own Phillips screwdriver rather than the provided one.Machine seems sturdy. The 330 lb (150 kg) weight limit is very good for this price. My 240 lb body doesn't seem to be any problem for it at all. Quiet enough to not disturb me with my earbuds or my wife in a separate room. Smooth, no-impact movement. Stride length is a little short for my 6 ft frame, but not bad. Resistance levels are hard to tell apart unless you jump three or more levels at a time, but they're enough for me.The control computer, however, is only barely useful. It has no memory at all, even if you leave the unit plugged in, so you have to re-enter your choice of program, time or other performance measure, and (most aggravating) age every time you use it. Worse, the programs are 10 minutes long. If you want to work out a longer time, it will run through the program for 10 minutes, then start again at the beginning for however long you have left. If you really want something specific (like gradually increasing resistance with an easy cooldown at the end), you'll either have to control it all manually while you're walking, or resign yourself to a 10-minute program. Oh, and the estimate of speed and distance seems entirely fictional compared to the equivalent walking pace. It still works as a way to compare your progress on the machine over time, but does not translate to other exercises.
