Sunny Health & Fitness Essentials Series Magnetic Smart Elliptical with FREE SunnyFit® App Bluetooth Connectivity - SF-E322902

I have to admit I had doubts about this, after reading some of the reviews, but I am so glad and relieved that I ordered it anyway. This elliptical machine is incredible. Its small size makes you underestimate its capabilities. It took me all of ten minutes to get used to the small size of the foot pedals and short stride, and after a few tweaks, the tension cable works perfectly. This is not a gym quality elliptical by any means, but for the price, it offers everything I could ask for. It wobbled a little bit at first, but I went back and tightened some of the bolts holding the assembly together, and now I can't feel the slightest wobble. The issue with the tension cable was a little bit trickier, after adjusting the cable that runs up to the adjuster, it still didn't feel quite right, but there is another section of cable inside the wheel cover. Apparently if you remove the bolts underneath the wheel cover you can reach in and tighten the cable as much as necessary from underneath the machine, and then just put the wheel cover back on. The tension knob now works exactly as it is supposed to. Huge difference in the amount of tension you can apply! I used it for the first time today, after assembling it, and I love this machine already. It definitely offers a solid workout, it is quiet enough to allow me to listen to music or watch tv while I am using it, without headphones, and it takes up about half the space of a treadmill. I am still working out the reliability of the various monitors (calories, heart rate, distance, etc) by comparing it to the data on my smartwatch, but so far I am very happy with this purchase.

I purchased this to get myself back in shape after years of not working out. I read the reviews and was skeptical, but bought it anyway. First, I'm not great with putting stuff together, generally require assistance. I had no problems what so ever like other reviewers had. Took me all of 45 minutes and I was off and running. The machine is far from gym quality but it's also a tenth of the price. Yes, the stride is short, but I'm 5'3" so it's perfect for me. The pulse monitor is not accurate, but again for the price what do you expect. The different tensions work great and within a couple of minutes my legs were burning from the workout. I have actually recommended this machine to several people. No bells and whistles just an inexpensive machine that gets the job done.
