I have been reading reviews on Amazon, HSN, Dicks, and Sams sporting goods. Greater than 75% feel like they wasted their money. At least half reported the machine broke quickly, or was broken in the box. They reported things like the wheel or bearing crumbled, as if it was old stock housed in a hot warehouse. Greater than 50% say the knee cups are uncomfortable, and they either slip out of them, or their knees are painful after just a few short minutes in the machine. Some say they just cant stay stable enough in the knee cups to finish the work out.

Many are complaining that the machine is hard to use, and they are not seeing any real results. They only weight loss they feel is in their wallet.

I think I am going to hold off on this machine. $199 is a lot of money to spend for a machine that better than 75% of folks writing reviews have shown up to say "dont buy this machine" I think I will heed the advice. If I was stronger, more stable with balance, or able to really handle hanging on while my knees slipped out, I may try it, but I am not. A full 15% also say this thing makes their back hurt from the position they are forced to be in for a proper work out.

*sigh* I am disappointed. I really wanted this to be as advertized.
