                                       - It has great flywheel, which provides a smooth workout experience.
- The 20 levels of resistance are useful to choose your preferred level of intensity.
- Very happy with how stable the machine is and with the 20-inch stride length. I am getting a work out from this machine when too lazy to drive to the gym
- The flywheel has large dings and scrapes. The machine looks second hand, if judging by the flywheel.
- I am experiencing vibration in the arms that connect to the flywheel during operation.
Schwinn 470 Elliptical Machine
                                       - Resistance and incline combine to give a workout comparable to commercial grade machines
- The stride is very natural feeling, and this was my top priority when purchasing a new elliptical.
- The stride length, resistance settings, and quiet nature of the machine are all positive aspects that I enjoy while using this elliptical.
- Resistance levels work great and I think that level 25 it's really hard.
- Using this machine for only two months I am experiencing a recurring clunk noise in the flywheel assembly.

                               Nautilus E614 Elliptical Trainer
                                       - Machine works great. At first I didn't like how the foot pedals are angled forward but I did get used to it after about a week of use.
- The handles are closer in and at a nice height so I don't feel like I am overextending my arms.
- The rubber wheels started to shred slightly after the first week and they still seem to be deteriorating.
- After week there was start a thunking noise and wobble in one of the pedals.
- I've had this for about two months and used regularly. One of the metal rings keeps popping off under pedal.
Schwinn 470 Elliptical Machine
                                       - Pedals are large that let you find the comfortable spot for your feet.
- The footplates are very large and cushioned, so it's easy to get on and off and stay in place while using it.
- The hands do not slip because the arm handles with an ergonomic grips.
- The big disadvantage is that it cannot be folded, it takes up a lot of space at home.
- Often the legs fly off the pedals, it is a pity that there are no straps to fix them.

                               Nautilus E614 Elliptical Trainer
                                       - The fan is perfect and has three levels of speed and will adjust to point towards your face or chest.
- The speakers are a little quiet but I think that's enough.
- Monitors don’t have any backlight. However, readability is great.
- The computer does not track your speed and distance properly.
- No telemetry-enabled heart rate, only contact, which means you have to hold on to handlebars in the middle to measure your heart rate.
Schwinn 470 Elliptical Machine
                                       - During workouts, I can watch my video because it has a tablet holder.
- Variety of programs and tracking features, far in excess of what most people probably would use, but it's there.
- Speaker system and fan, while unnecessary, are nice amenities. It's great to not need headphones, and the fan seems to help control sweat.
- A tablet placed on the media tray will partially cover the wider monitor. However, you will still see all the main workout values on the smaller display.
- Built-in speakers - poor quality and no volume control.
