content: This elliptical is great, I was able to put it together in 1-2 hours. I've had it for 2 weeks and so far works like a charm. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that every time I turn the console on it makes a LOUD beep (by design), which is a problem because I usually workout late at night, when the kids are asleep (loud noises sometimes wake kids up). There is a mute option, but it only works after the console is turned on. Other than that (which is really a minor annoyance) this machine is great!
