Product Description |
|
The Masai Fitness Power Elliptical Trainer brings high-end, health club features to a sturdy, smooth-striding elliptical trainer. An intuitive and easy-to-use on-board exercise computer features 20 programs that automatically control the intensity of the workout using either preset settings, or the built-in heart rate sensors. Users can also use the manual setting in order to adjust resistance at the touch of a button. A 13 lb. flywheel and smooth, nearly silent magnetic power resistance provide a fluid cycling motion, and this bike has been designed with ergonomics in mind. The Power Disc Crank provides a narrow foot position, providing a comfortable stride. Large anti-slip foot pedals give a bidirectional stride length of 15-inches, and central stationary handles feature heart rate sensors and are adjustable to fit different postures. The extra long, curved moving arm handles provide multiple locations to grip depending on your size and desired workout. Constructed of high quality components, the unit is backed by a limited one year warranty. Additional Features:
- Built-in wheels allow for easier positioning of the unit
- Ergonomic foot and hand positions
- Programs include preset, user defined, heart rate, watt control, and body fat
- Suitable for users up to 250 lb. in weight
- Adjustable workout level via continuous manual resistance knob
- Includes owner's manual, assembly tool kit, and two AA batteries
- One-year manufacturer's warranty on frame, parts and electronics

 Piece of Junk! |
| Review Date: March 31, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Nurse101, TN |
| The package the product came in was ripped up badly. The plastic piece at the back of the machine was broken. This didn't bother me that bad, so I put it together only to find out the AC adapter was missing. Received horrible customer service from the manufacturer trying to get a new one. Not only did it takes weeks to get a response from them but they were not helpful at all. The machine worked, just not the screen. It squeaked really bad and felt very unstable and I am a size 4. Thankfully, I purchased it from Amazon who took the piece of junk back. |

| As most buyers have commented, this unit is a bit challenging to assemble. But once assembled, it provides good value for the money, is versatile, and works well. |
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

| So after hours of the painful assembly for this machine--it didn't work! There was no power on the monitor (which coincidently controls the machine). I called to speak to the manufacturer who couldn't give me any valuable information. She suggested I fill out some form that she would send via e-mail. Upon completion of the form I received a response (via e-mail) telling me that they would "look into possible solutions for the malfunctions". After a day or two of waiting they decided they would send me replacements parts for all the electronic components (real Einsteins). They wrote that they would send me the tracking information "as soon as it is available". After a few days of waiting I sent a question asking when it would be shipped. They then informed me that they "just" shipped it and would send the tracking info as soon as it had posted. That was 5 days ago! I know Fed Ex doesn't take 5 days to update their tracking info. I wrote another email asking for the tracking info. They did not respond. I just wrote again another email--still waiting for a response. I can't comment on the machine itself because it doesn't work! Although the fact that it's brand new and doesn't work should speak for itself. The customer service ,however, is horrendus! GO WITH A TRUSTED, RELIABLE, NAME. There is a reason I've never heard of them before! |
DO NOT BUY!!!

| I decided to purchase this item, in spite of the other bad reviews it had, and now I regret it. The video looked pretty convincing so we decided to buy. It took my husband and I about 3 hours to assemble it. There was a lot of bolts and washers and some of them were not even on the instruction page. I have only used it once and it makes a loud knocking and clicking sound, you can feel in the pedals and handle bars. It is also very unstable, I cant go too fast because it starts moving side to side. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS MACHINE!! I am trying to get my money back. Its not worth $300. Spend a little extra for a well known brand. We are looking into buying a ProForm, its only $100 more, and they are very sturdy and has more features. |
Waste of money! DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE!

| I bought this elliptical machine about a month ago. First off, it took my boyfriend and I hours to put together. The instruction manual is a total joke. The illustrations that match the different pieces look nothing alike. There are so many little pieces of different sizes and they are pretty much represented as the same size in the manual. AND, there were not enough washers to even assemble the machine so we had to buy more. So anyways we got the machine together and 2 weeks later, it's broken. If I had known how cheap this thing actually was, I NEVER would have spent the hundreds of dollars on it. I am a single mom and thought this would be a good solution to getting fit and not having to get a costly gym membership. And the worst thing is no one will contact me back from the company. I have been playing tag with them for almost 2 weeks. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE! IT'S CRAP! I want my money back. Next time I'll spend the extra money and buy from a company known for quality and customer care. |
