We were looking for a home elliptical, and after seeing a lot of ads on Kijiji for mediocre, old machines at outrageous prices, we decided to get a new one.

The reason we went with one on Amazon? The price was good, the shipping was free, and we didn't have to try to figure out how to haul it home from a local store.

The downside? The shipping estimate that Amazon gives for every package is usually pretty reliable - but not for larger items like this. It would be better for them to simply removed the estimates in these cases, but you live and learn, I guess.

The machine itself is pretty sturdy, only took about two hours to build, and included everything you need to get it up and running. The display is pretty simple, and the speakers are nothing to write home about, but it's a good piece of equipment for a home gym.
