Confidence Fitness 2-in-1 Elliptical Trainer
The reviews here combined with the price are what convinced me to purchase this... and after receiving it, I can say the reviewers are right on! The instructions are weird and spotty, mostly because the number labels don't match the parts. The parts have been labeled with L and R and all the bolts/nuts are preassembled which makes it super easy if you pay more attention to that than the written instructions and diagrams, which are only slightly helpful. Struggled a little with the "friction"... definitely needed Vaseline or WD40 and also to loosen some other elements so I could reduce the tension when attaching the pedal arms. (do pay attention to that part of the instructions)
As far as the working feel of it... the pedal position is strange to me when sitting on the bike, it forces you to point your toes more than you normally would when biking. I think this can be resolved not by blocking up the frame of the bike (as other reviewers have done), but by perhaps by putting a wedge under the toes when biking. The elliptical position and movement seems really good, very natural. I do find it a bit hard to get the pedals moving even with the belt loose and on the easiest setting... this is not a machine for someone who is in weak physical condition. Once it's going, it's great.
The bike is heavy and solid... doesn't feel tippy or cheaply made. Seems to me that it's also got potential for DIY repairs if it should eventually break... the large plastic pedals could be replaced with wood, and the belt is simply nylon webbing. This really is an amazing value... it was also shipped immediately, I received it so quickly, much faster than the typical Amazon free shipping!
