Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-05-29 Summary: Smooth, Solid and Quiet ... I stripped out a couple of the bolts that hold the 2 main pieces of the frame together while assembling it but it's holding up just fine so far. It's quieter and smoother than my previous Proform. I have used it 15 times in the last 30 days for 50 minutes each workout. There is only a slight side to side "wobble", but it seems to be the frame flexing and not a "leveling" issue. The movement only about 1/8 of an inch or so. I don't feel it but can see it in the mirror in the workout room. Not a problem. All in all, ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-12-21 Summary: works well. Good speakers. ... My wife and I have had our elliptical for about a month now.

Mainly, we use the speakers for pod casts ...more
