I actually bought this from another seller because I couldn't seem to confirm that the Amazon delivery service would bring it in the house and downstairs for me. As a single woman, this was a must. I put it together myself in just over 2 hours, with minimal trouble. The hardest part to do by myself was lifting the flywheel into place... that this is heavy but wouldn't have been any issue with another set of hands (I was too excited to wait for help!). I haven't had any of the noise issues that others mentioned but it has only been three weeks.
I'm a little disappointed in the heart rate monitor. When you grip the bars, it seems to take quite a while to register your heart rate. For example, it starts at about 72 and increases slowly (when clearly my heart rate is around 150 or 160 after 15 minutes of working out). I accept this less than stellar feature because I can simply count for 6 seconds and multiply by 10. Ta-da, heart rate estimate. With than minor flaw (although clearly it might be more important to others who want to use the heart rate workout, which I haven't tried yet), the elliptical has been great and I highly recommend it.
