Niceday Elliptical Exercise Machine, Elliptcal Machine for Home, 15.5IN/16IN/20IN Stride Elliptical Machine, Elliptcal Training Machine with 16 Level Resistance, 500LBS Loading Capacity

This was one of the best purchases I’ve made. It was fairly straightforward to assemble, although one of the screw holes didn’t align properly. Even with that, this thing is super sturdy, and it is COMPLETELY SILENT with use once everything was tightened properly. I’ve put 100 miles on it in 2 months and it works as well as it did when I put it together. It has 16 resistance options and I feel like I get a great workout. It does have different “modes” but I haven’t investigated any of them as I get what I need from manually adjusting the resistance knob. The ONLY things I would change at all are 1) I felt initially that the range of motion was small-ish (like the stride could’ve been longer) but it’s advertised as being compact and that’s probably the reason, and 2) that there’s no place to put a water bottle. But I’m not annoyed by either of these things enough to knock off a star. Everybody buy this!

I really enjoy my elliptical. It's small enough to fit in my bedroom. It's quiet enough not to wake sleeping people in the other bedrooms. I like that it doesn't require an electric cord. It was not difficult to assemble by myself, a 70 year old female.

I’ve been using the NiceDay Smart Elliptical for a couple of days now and it’s been a great addition to my home gym. Setting up the elliptical was a breeze; the instructions were clear, and all the necessary tools were included. I had it up and running in about 30 minutes. The machine itself is very sturdy. Even during intense workouts, it stays stable and doesn’t wobble. The magnetic resistance system is impressively quiet, which is perfect for my home environment as it doesn’t disturb anyone else. However, there are a couple of downsides. The built-in pulse meter is quite inaccurate, so I can’t rely on it for accurate heart rate monitoring and have had to use a separate monitor. Additionally, as someone over 6 feet tall, I’ve found that the stride feels more like a stair stepper, which isn’t as comfortable or natural as I’d hoped. Overall, despite these issues, I’m satisfied with the NiceDay Smart Elliptical. The easy setup, quiet operation, and sturdy build are definite highlights, making it a solid choice for my home workouts.

Assembly: I am no stranger to wrenches and screwdrivers. I did the job solo (mostly). It took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to put this together. That includes unpacking, carrying the parts through the house (I had help with the heavy bit), reading through the instructions, watching the three min. assembly video, and cleanup. Tools: All the tools needed to put this together are included, but you might want to use better tools. Be advised you will need metric tools. The nuts are 13mm and 17mm. I have a 13mm socket, but no 17mm socket or wrench. Which is unfortunate as the 17mm nuts are used on the feet. I knew from other reviews I wanted to torque those nuts down to hold the feet securely in place as the machine was used. Doing that with the little wrench provided was uncomfortable. Size: Very compact for what it is. It tucks nicely out of the way into the corner of the bedroom. Noise: Whisper quiet. FWIW I have it on carpet. I've only been using it for two days, but so far no creaks or squeaks, truly impressive. User Interface: Pretty basic, which is fine. I'm not looking for someone screaming in my face, or mountain road cross training programs. I just need something I can conveniently work up a sweat on. This does the job. Get on it, start peddling, turn the big knob to add or reduce resistance, BOOM. But they get too cute with it trying to add functions that don't really work. CAL for instance, supposedly counts the calories you burn, but in fact only counts how many cycles you peddle. If it was counting calories it would count faster when you dialed up the resistance. Likewise, what does "speed" or "distance" mean on this machine? Both of which seem to be measured in "mph". The pulse counter seems to work, but takes several seconds to settle on a value. I have an issue with the phone/tablet holder. If you put your tablet on it, it blocks the display. It's also located a bit far from your eyes and too close to your body. You have to tilt your head down to see it. It would have been much better to have a little extension above the display to hold it there. I may try to make something like that. Stride: The first time I used this machine I was worried I made a bad choice. The stride is elliptical and not a perfect circle, but it's more circular than I'd like. Peddling on it has some up and down motion (as can be seen in the video with the pretty young and fit actors using it). This made it more work than I wanted even with the resistance dialed down. However, on my second try I found a rhythm and a stride that I could maintain which minimized the up and down motion. Also, peddling backwards significantly reduced the up and down, at least for me. However I would have really liked the pedals to have been mounted like 6 inches farther from the flywheel. Miscellaneous: On top of the flywheel, the plastic is discolored. It is not cracked or dented. It just looks like it was stressed. It appears that the plastic shell is mounted to a piece of metal and perhaps the full weight was supported at that point some time during shipping. Regardless, the machine operates smoothly and I don't believe it was damaged in any way. It doesn't concern me in the least. ETA After a year of use, I am still happy with it. The only thing is the LCD display has faded to where I can't read it without shining a light on it. No biggie for me, the only thing I was using it for was the timer and I can use my phone (which I always have for something to listen to while pedaling anyway). As stated above most of the display functions are bogus anyway, but if tracking your heart rate is important to you, it's something to think about.

Okay, well the cold hard truth has finally landed. My usually workout at the YMCA GYM always starts with 30 minutes on an Elliptical Cross Trainer (two 15 minute reps, just to warm up). Because I wanted to improve my daily Cardio Work, we obtained a mid level, manual Elliptical for the house so I could use it every morning. That is when the big lie was revealed. After just 5 minutes on the new machine, my quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves WERE ON FIRE! What kind of zero-intensity nonsense am I witnessing? The simple truth is that the Elliptical Machine at the gym has an electric motor driving the internal flywheel to "smooth it out". Like power steering on a car, instead of the driver needing to crank the steering wheel. So from now on, I'll get a real Cardio and lower body workout every morning, and two or three days a week, I'll hit the GYM and warm up on the kiddie ride before doing an upper and lower body workout.

Excelente es igual al de la imagen. Se siente de buen material.

The mechanical part of it works well. The electronics doesn’t. The various modes -(calorie count, distance, time) - none of it works.

excelente equipo... muy silencioso
