This unit is very smooth and quiet. I feel like I'm taking big steps and that makes it feel very natural.

I have just started using this because I want to get back into shape, and my knees can't take the pounding of running on a treadmill anymore.

The built-in fan really feels like it makes a difference.

My only complaints are the user interface in two areas. First, after storing a memorized programs it takes a long time to modify it Second, the display won't stay on a setting I want (e.g., calories or speed).

It does seem a little wasteful that you can't turn it off. It shuts itself down after 20 minutes of no activity.
