Niceday Elliptical Machine, Elliptical Exercise Machine for Home with Hyper-Quiet Magnetic Driving System, Elliptical Trainer with 15.5IN-18IN Stride, 16 Resistance Levels, 400LBS Loading Capacity

TL;DR: CT11Pro - Great elliptical, built sturdy, easy assembly, quiet and smooth. You should consider it. We purchased the CT11Pro as my wife is tall and wanted the longer 18 inch stride that it provides. First for all the good things - It was easy to assemble and comes with the tools you need. I assembled it by myself but you'll have to be careful with getting it out of the box if you don't have help. It works very smoothly and quietly and the stride is great. It has a device holder although you'll see in my negatives that it covers up the monitoring. It feels heavy duty which it should if it's going to support up to 400lbs. And the biggest positive of all, my wife loves it (and so do I). :-) The only real negatives I've found so far is that I don't think the heart rate monitor is very accurate. I have an apple watch that I compare it to and it's just all over the place. It starts out much lower than what my watch then ends up higher. But, that's why I have an Apple watch so that doesn't bother me. So far, I haven't really used the monitoring much at all so I don't know if the distance, calories etc are accurate or not. It has a device holder but when you place your device in it, it covers up the monitor anyway, especially if you use an iPad or tablet. I do wish that the magnetic resistance dial was higher up because to adjust it you have to bend over and try to see what you are adjusting it to. Makes it a little harder if you are doing a pyramid program or something where you are adjusting resistance several times. Something that you will learn to do without looking though I believe. It has no water bottle holder like some have. The other negative was getting this thing shipped to me. It probably wouldn't be any different than any other large item like this but it arrived way later than it was supposed to and came in a rented Enterprise box truck with 2 guys to carry it in. This might be because we are about 100 miles from an Amazon warehouse so you may or may not have any issues like this. Even though it may look like my negative list is longer than my positives, they aren't. There wasn't much to explain on the positives. The positives far outweigh the negatives and I would certainly recommend this elliptical. One other note I will say is that even though you can find reviews and assembly videos on Youtube, it doesn't appear that Niceday has any real workout content out like the competition does but does connect with Kinomap which is interesting as you can choose different routes so you have different scenery. It requires a device and connects through bluetooth to the elliptical computer. It was fairly easy to connect and setup but I haven't yet figured out if Kinomap is only subscription or if there is a free side of it so I've just been using Youtube videos created by others such as Sunny Health & Fitness being one and Apple Fitness+. Surprisingly, Apple Fitness+ or Peloton neither have specific elliptical workouts but you can use those geared for either cycling or treadmill as substitutes. The Apple watch has an elliptical workout also which will get you the metrics.

The mechanical part of it works well. The electronics doesn’t. The various modes -(calorie count, distance, time) - none of it works.

excelente equipo... muy silencioso

Calidad precio

The stride is short, which leads me to believe that I received at CT11 when all the payment, packaging, instructions, etc. indicated this was a CT11PRO. The stride does not appear or feel to be 18". As evidenced by the photo I took and attached to this review and using the machine from the first use. The stride bars are not the length demonstrated in the product photo associated with this elliptical machine when comparing my photo to the advertised product. Now I am in a quandary to either ask for a refund for the lesser of the product (CT11) price and what I paid (accepting a shorter stride) or flat out return it. Putting that disappointment aside... Considering today's technology and the price paid for any unit, having a display which fades away after the first use, cannot accurately calculate calories burned, not even accept a weight input to assist accurate counting of calories burned; frankly is not acceptable in today's competitive marketplace and the cost for this equipment. It's a nice piece of operational equipment; going cheap on the instrumentation keeps this from being a complete and incredible purchase I can recommend. Easy to Assemble. Yes, for one person and the tools provided. 20 minutes? No, however, I prefer to get it right the first time and ensure assembly is correct the first time around. (I have learned from my Ikea mistakes.) Quiet operation. Yes, as advertised. The magnets provide nice resistance as well. Want to make this a great piece of home gym equipment? -Send the right unit purchased. -Develop a better display with weight and goal input.
