Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-10-21 Summary: Good value for the money ... This is a very versatile machine. You have the option of biking or cross training with either stationary handles or moving handles. Tension adjustment is easy and provides a wide range of resistance. This machine is quite heavy and a little difficult to put together. It does have little wheels on the front floor bar so you can tilt the bike up and roll it to a different location. The front fly wheel did not hold up well. We had to have ours replaced twice while it was still under warranty. My son liked to use the bike ...more

My only problem with the machine is that it causes a lot of floor vibration when used as an elliptical. (I live in a 2nd floor apartment) Putting a rug under the machine helped solve this problem. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-11 Summary: Easy Assembly/Excellent Instructions ... Ironman Ascender CDT Elliptical Trainer With LCD TV After a good deal of research I decided on the Ironman CDT Elliptical Trainer (the LCD TV is a nice addition but did not impact my choice). I placed my order on Thursday afternoon, it shipped on Friday and I received a call on Monday to set up a Tuesday delivery. Now..."some assembly required" usually means trying to understand poorly written instructions along with trying to decide if you should use the short screw or the shorter screw on certain steps. I have to ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-24 Summary: WONDERFUL! VERY SMOOTH! ... I did A LOT of research for the best elliptical trainer. The attributes I was looking for: 1) Sturdy (didn't wobble) 2) Longer stride length 3) A good price 4) A decent warranty 5) Smooth ride 6) Something that would last My husband didn't seem to have any problems putting it together. It seemed pretty basic. So, if you have a handy man- you won't have a problem. When I first used this elliptical, it was a little squeaky. After my 35 min run, it wasn't squeaky anymore, but there was a banging sound. So, my husband ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-12 Summary: Almost perfect, but not quite... ... I have been researching home ellipticals for a while now. I was spoiled with the LifeFitness machines (20 inch stride) at the gym and I know many home ellipticals fall short - they feel shaky, flimsy, the stride is short... I had read great things about Sole machines and went to a local store to try them out. They had the e95, e35, and e25 in new 2009 models as well as an old (2008) e55 being sold as a floor model. I had originally thought I wanted the e55 but the new e35 is actually better than the old e55 so that ...more
