My husband works in the fitness equipment industry (retail) so when I would visit him I would try out the Octane and dream of one day owning one myself. I even had the spot picked out in the basement. Then one day Octane ran a special promotion and we were able to get one for ourselves - and it's everything it promised to be. 1) Great small footprint - so it fits well in any-sized room 2) Nice smooth stride - some of the other ellipticals I've tried have a jerky motion 3) Great name brand - they stand behind their products 4) Excellent workout in a short period of time I love that I can use the handles to increase my burn or go without on my "light" days. It has some great programs including random and hill. The cup holder is conveniently located and I also use it for the remote. It was easy to assemble - at least that's what my husband told me - ha! Overall the Octane Q37 provides an excellent full-body workout - it's a great machine and it won't take up your whole basement like most other ellipticals.
