What a terrific piece of equipment!. It arrived well packed with the smaller bits put safely into separate boxes within the main box. It's easier to put together than similar machines I've built, with clearly illustrated numbered steps and individual bags of fixings labelled 'step 1', 'step 2' etc. So, little chance of having the wrong screw left for the final bit. It runs very smoothly and gives a good workout with a good selection of programmes and modes. And it can be started easily and quickly in manual mode if you don't feel like entering the user or program settings.
It can be set so that I can have a heavy or light workout at low or high RPM with great flexibility, and in 'heartrate' mode I like that I'm able to maintain a steady pulse without having to speed up too much. Also, the flywheel is heavy enough to smooth out the strokes so that it doesn't feel jerky or mechanical. It's big enough to do the job comfortably but not so big that it takes over the room, and seems amply stable and quiet. So as a home use cross trainer I'm very pleased with this buy and recommend it to others.
