Comment:
I just bought it from [@] for jsut under $650 after doing quite a bit of due dillegence. The assmbly instructions were easy to read & understand. It took 2.5 hours to put together - I had some minor issues with the 4 rear screws on the display not matching up with the threads. A few other minor alignment isses as well. Got it together and I am impressed. It is just as nice as the ones at the gym. Very stable and whisper quiet. It also has a better warranty than many of the other recommended models.Read the manual, set yourself up and fight that middle-age spread!
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
When my Nordictrac elliptical fell apart a couple of months ago, I went looking for a replacement unit. I went with the CU recommendations for the E-514 Nautilus unit, and found it for a decent price with free shipping at an online retailer. So far, it works as well or better than my now deceased unit, and seems sturdier than the old one did. I was hoping it wasn't made in [*], but that was wishful thinking. Hopefully the unit will last the 10 years my old one did.
