Decent Machine
Overall I liked this machine. I definitely feel like the positives outweigh the negatives by a big margin. I liked that this was smaller than most elliptical machines. I don't have a lot of space for exercise equipment so smaller is better for me. The Orbitrek Elite is quiet so you can easily watch television while using it. It doesn't require any electricity so there are no cords to worry about either. It has wheels on the front so it can be tilted and easily moved from one spot to another. I kind of wish they swiveled though because I mostly needed to move it from side to side, not forward and backward. Performance For the price, this worked very well. One of the foot pieces broke and I later heard that it was some kind of manufacturer defect that had been recalled. However I bought a different elliptical when that happened. Comfort This was pretty comfortable, though my knees have been getting progressively worse and I think the machine I replaced this one with is easier on them.
