Comments: I purcahased this product in Oct. 08 and my wife and I have used it a lot since then.It was easy to assemble and ready to use within 30 min. of beginning assembly. I workout hard so I feel that I have put it thru a good test to determin it's durability. It is of quality construction and has a nice long stride length(i am 6'3") for a better workout. I also love the digital resistance which makes it easy to increase or decrease the resistance as you need to. The only negative that i can report is that after a month or so of workouts it began to have a loud creaking noise. I have not tried to take it apart and grease it or work on it in any way so I don't know if it is something that can be eliminated or not. That is the reason that I gave it a 4.5 instead of a 5. Overall, I feel this a great quality product for the price and I would definately recommend this to others.
The built-in Easy Pulse™ heart rate monitor helps you monitor your heart rate throughout your workout so you get the most out of every workout. You can also get better muscle extension with the 18" stride length that allows you to take longer strides as you workout to help you develop longer, leaner muscle. To make things easy, the SMR™ Silent Magnetic Resistance and Digitally controlled resistance allow you to smoothly and quickly change your level of resistance throughout your workout.
