The strap acting as a pulley broke away from the fly wheel. <br/><br/>Anyway, the mini elliptical was difficult to assemble because I had difficulty unscrewing the screws attached to the area where the plastic foot pedals go. I succeeded in unscrewing 3 of the screws. A plus is that even with one screw holding the foot pedal down, the foot pedal is still firmly secure. The one with one screw holding the pedal down does not move at all. It is as though both screws are holding the pedal down. I find this machine to be a big improvement over the mini stepper: I get winded and I am sweating after 5 minutes (medium resistance). <br/><br/>I am just hoping that this machine doesn't break down after only 4 months of six days a week use.

It is fairly flimsy but I do use it. I do not recommend it for use by anyone over 140 lbs. It probably could not handle the weight of a larger person. I do wish I had the space for a larger elliptical so if space is an issue for someone and they are not a large person, I do recommend this product. This is not the quality I expected it to be.

I was looking for a mini-eliptical to keep in my living room. The product is mini- and easy enough to put together (so says my hubby) but the actual machine works more like a stairstepper than an eliptical. I can only work out on it like 5 mins before my thighs are on fire. This was not a good buy for me. It's also slightly awkward. you have to step down on your heal to make it go around forward, when a normal eliptical will work better by pushing with your toes (I hope that makes sense) which is what makes this more like a stairstepper. <br/><br/>Anyway - if you're looking for a mini-eliptical - keep looking.

Anyway – if you’re looking for a mini-eliptical – keep looking. This is not it!
