Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the elliptical trainer. They mention that the screws come loose at an alarming rate. Some customers also report that the bolts loosen up after every use and one even came out after 15 minutes of use. They also mention that there are no lock washers and the screws keep falling out even after being retightened. Some say that the product is cheaply made and the bolt screws are easy to tighten. Overall, customers are disappointed with the product's durability and recommend it for light use only.

"...Took about 2 1/2 hours. Had some difficulty finding threads for the bolts, otherwise it would have taken no more than 1 1/2 hours...." Read more

"...holder is trash; a full Gatorade squeeze bottle has a tendency to pop out the front because the holder is too flimsy to secure the weight...." Read more

"...Screws keep falling out even after being retightened. The noise when using this machine is deafening...." Read more

"...same routine as all of the others and within 6-8 months could not be tightened anymore...." Read more

GREAT machine, very good price/value. Take your time assembling & pick up these extras when you purchase.
5 Stars
GREAT machine, very good price/value. Take your time assembling & pick up these extras when you purchase.
Firstly, we are big treadmill people. We live on the second floor in our apartment complex, and after years of slopping around we knew we had to start investing in our health again and a treadmill wasn't an option. An Elliptical was the logical option.We read the reviews and this machine seemed to bring value and quality together. After a few days of using the A40, I'm very pleased and can recommend it to others in the same situation.ASSEMBLYThe box it arrived in is very tightly packed and quite heavy. During the unpack is when I first realized this $400 machine was higher quality than I anticipated as the parts are pretty heavy duty. It took a few hours to put together although we did not rush and took our time. It's super important when assembling the machine to follow the instructions and not fully tighten the bolts until everything is in place or it will cause misalignment of holes and bolts which then can lead to stripping threads - just take your time and do it right.NOISEAs far as the workout goes, I'm a bit in shock of how effective it is. It is VERY silent on carpet and a sturdy machine.STRIDEI'm 5'8" and I've heard others mention the stride length. For me, it seems just about right. I suppose if you are over 5'10" it would start to be uncomfortable.ADDITIONAL PARTS1. The computer is battery powered with an ac adapter option. If you want to run off of ac, take the time to purchase the ac adapter as it is not included. Given the price/quality of this machine, no big deal if you know up front:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007JZ4XTS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VG35Z0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=12. The computer is not, at all, backlit. That means if you are using it in the morning in a dark setting, you can't see the screen - at all. Purchase a clip-on book light too. There is a shelf on the computer that works fine for it. Again, given price/quality, not a big deal:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ITGQXS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1OVERALLOverall, we are VERY happy with this machine and again, I can recommend it by taking the time to write this and encourage others to make the plunge.
