Solid, Smooth, and Reliable - Gym Quality!
I have been using this Merit 710E Elliptical Machine for approximately 8 months and it has been a pure pleasure to use. It is very solidly-built and glides as quietly and smoothly today as it did the day I got it. Since durability was the biggest factor in what machine I purchased, I am pleased that this machine's build quality has lived-up to my expectations.

The display (Pulse, Calories, Miles, & Time) is powered by two AA batteries, which means there is nothing to plug-in and not .... Read more

Good Start
I think this is a great starter piece of equipment. It was very easy to put together. Was only missing one washer, that was just for looks. Took me 3 hours to put together, but that counting how long it took me to get it upstairs by myself. It took two guys to bring it in, and just little old 5'2 160 pund me to bring it up that stairs. My dogs were no help!
Husband likes it he 6'5 and I am 5'2 it works for both of us. Timer box little cheap but it works. Not impressed with the thumb print .... Read more

Trainer worth the money but shipping a big headache.
The Ellipitcal Trainer FINALLY arrived on 1/2/08. It was to be a Xmas gift and shipped on 12/12/07. Contacted Amazon and was given credit when it still did not show up by 12/28/07. Made several phone calls to shipper with no results. Received no type of compensation from Amazon for all the phone calls made trying to find out where item was. As stated it did show up on 1/2/08 and we are satisfied with Trainer. I just ordered a Grizzly Table Saw which I could have gone through Amazon to buy but af .... Read more

Good Quality, Great Price
This is an excellent machine for the money. Truly, it is a good machine for any price. If you research the bowflex treadclimber, you will find that their low-end/no-frills machine costs far more than this one. With financing, it would cost far more. This machine is affordable and can be paid for in one shot. Most importantly for $395, you are getting a machine that you can keep for at least five years vs. $1200 in a year at the gym.

Putting this together, well, I am a girl and I di .... Read more
