Image 8.25 Elliptical Machine Reviews

My friend knew i was looking for one, this one was broken, needed the frame re-welded, someone really broke it somehow. Anyway, my husband fixed the frame, and put it back together. The computer works great gives a nice workout. But, I have to say the belt is noisy.

Is excellent comparing for what you paid for. I have this machine for a year and a half and i don't have any problems at all. I only have one question. The display that shows distance is that is in miles, meters or kilometers? That's my only concern about this machine, I just workout by minutes.

I found this machine in the garbage in prfect condition put some new energizers in it and found it worked.I thought I would reserch it a little and now I know why it was in the trash, evry review on this thing is horrible.Oh well if i does turn out to be a junker thenits no loss to me.

My wife bought this nearly a year ago september 2006, in june 2007 one off the metal bits that connects the pedal to the big wheel at the back broke broke inside, we both like using it, does anyone have any ideas where i can take it too get fixed? Warranty ran out think it was for only 3 months.

I have had this machine for 3 months now. The biggest problem I have is noises from the belt area. I tightened the belt but it did not help. I would not recommnd this if you are planning on using an ellipitical for serious exercising.

I just got the 8.25 from Wal Mart, the price is attractive for an entry level elliptical $295 with taxes and 2 yr extended warranty. Good packaging and good instructions,labeled fastner kit helps assembly. It appears to be a substantial machine with heavy double bushings at all moving joints, good continuous welds, and a good powder coat paint. The adjustable upper body hand bars is a nice feature, but not sure how well the plastic clamp mechanism will hold up over time. The machine worked correctly the first time, now time will tell about longevity. I think the bushing joints should be dissassembled once a year and repacked with grease, or at the very least have lithium grease shot into the bushings. The maintenance portion of the manual says nothing about future lube but I can see this as a problem for the future given that it is a bushing at wear points and not sealed ball bearings.
