With the caveat that I was never able to actually test this machine, I do think the fact that it arrived shattered, even though it appeared to be packaged reasonably well, says a lot about the poor quality and overall cheapness of the material. The price is right, but if the cheap plastic material can’t withhold shipping, it shouldn’t be sold online. The round, plastic part at the bottom of the machine arrived completely shattered. I was also not happy when I reported this to Amazon, and they simply went ahead and shipped me a replacement machine without my approval. I did not want a replacement shipment sent. I wanted a refund. The shipment is too heavy and too difficult to get upstairs, unpack and repack to risk going through this again. Now I have to spend time on a Sunday re-packaging this for UPS to pick up. I was not given the option of canceling the replacement order that was made for me (without my request) by someone at Amazon, so I will be refusing the second delivery, and I risk getting two charges for one item that arrived broken.

Make no mistake, this is a cheap piece of crap, as I suspected when I saw how small the box was. The horizontal braces are not just small, they are absurdly short. This is a design flaw–how much more would it have cost to make the bars a couple inches longer to keep the machine from swaying with every step? That the cheap plastic frame was cracked didn’t particularly bother me; more worrisome is that the steel is evidently of extremely poor quality. A bolt at least 7mm thick snapped right in half while I was tightening it. The only question now is whether it is worth the trouble to send back this piece of junk or somehow try to make use of it. I suppose I get some exercise by pulling the thing from side to side. You get what you pay for. I can’t imagine what the cheaper version is like.

We bought this piece at a good price. Now we see why, It fell apart and squeeked almost immediately. We wd40′d and repaired it. It still squeeks. My advice spend a litte more, this one was a waste of money.

I only had the machine a week, after having it put together and trying it out, I find that is not sturdy enough it shakes — It would be very difficult disassembling the machine to send back, so I guess I have to make the best of it
