After receiving the machine and putting it together, which took about 3 hours, we had a really nice looking elliptical. Let me tell you though, after our first use, there was nothing "nice" about the workout. Admittedly my wife and I are not in the best shape, that is why we purchased this product. However, after the initial shock wore off and with a little persistence we are seeing the results. My wife is down 15 pounds and myself 12. It works quietly and we have not had to put any lube on yet. We have had it almost a month now. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a quality machine at home..."
This is one of the best Eliptical around. It's why we chose it and I was not dissappointed.
Great product..."
Well...The reason I didn't give this machine 5 stars is simply because I refuse to LOVE any piece of equipment that inflicts pain. However, I do give it 4 stars because it does what it is supposed to do---provides one heck of a workout! I named it 'The Monster' because it is quite imposing looking.....You totally FEEL the action in your butt and thighs---I was sore as Hell after the 1st 2 workouts! :)"
I researched ellipticals, checked ratings, and tried out several models. The Sole E35 was a little pricey, but so far well worth the $$. Took me the better part of an afternoon and evening to assemble. Not a bad experience since I know all the bolts and jointed areas that might later loosen and squeek (which WILL occur over years of usage regardless of the manufacturer/model). Good variety of programs and easy to personalize with buttons on the hand grips. I'm reserving a 5-start rating since I've owned it less than 6 months."
