NicedayElliptical Machine

I purchased this because Shape magazine rated it as the best budget elliptical machine. I was still a little skeptical though, since it was only $400. It was super easy to put together with only a few major pieces that needed to be attached. It was too heavy for me to lift but my adult son lifted it easily. It's very sturdy and well put together. I tried it for the first time last night and am so happy with it! I thought for sure it would be jerky or hard to use but it runs so smoothly and easily! It's also silent so I was able to watch t.v. while using it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants an elliptical machine but doesn't want to spend thousands.

This was one of the best purchases I’ve made. It was fairly straightforward to assemble, although one of the screw holes didn’t align properly. Even with that, this thing is super sturdy, and it is COMPLETELY SILENT with use once everything was tightened properly. I’ve put 100 miles on it in 2 months and it works as well as it did when I put it together. It has 16 resistance options and I feel like I get a great workout. It does have different “modes” but I haven’t investigated any of them as I get what I need from manually adjusting the resistance knob. The ONLY things I would change at all are 1) I felt initially that the range of motion was small-ish (like the stride could’ve been longer) but it’s advertised as being compact and that’s probably the reason, and 2) that there’s no place to put a water bottle. But I’m not annoyed by either of these things enough to knock off a star. Everybody buy this!

I’ve been using the NiceDay Smart Elliptical for a couple of days now and it’s been a great addition to my home gym. Setting up the elliptical was a breeze; the instructions were clear, and all the necessary tools were included. I had it up and running in about 30 minutes. The machine itself is very sturdy. Even during intense workouts, it stays stable and doesn’t wobble. The magnetic resistance system is impressively quiet, which is perfect for my home environment as it doesn’t disturb anyone else. However, there are a couple of downsides. The built-in pulse meter is quite inaccurate, so I can’t rely on it for accurate heart rate monitoring and have had to use a separate monitor. Additionally, as someone over 6 feet tall, I’ve found that the stride feels more like a stair stepper, which isn’t as comfortable or natural as I’d hoped. Overall, despite these issues, I’m satisfied with the NiceDay Smart Elliptical. The easy setup, quiet operation, and sturdy build are definite highlights, making it a solid choice for my home workouts.

I really enjoy my elliptical. It's small enough to fit in my bedroom. It's quiet enough not to wake sleeping people in the other bedrooms. I like that it doesn't require an electric cord. It was not difficult to assemble by myself, a 70 year old female.

Assembly: I am no stranger to wrenches and screwdrivers. I did the job solo (mostly). It took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to put this together. That includes unpacking, carrying the parts through the house (I had help with the heavy bit), reading through the instructions, watching the three min. assembly video, and cleanup. Tools: All the tools needed to put this together are included, but you might want to use better tools. Be advised you will need metric tools. The nuts are 13mm and 17mm. I have a 13mm socket, but no 17mm socket or wrench. Which is unfortunate as the 17mm nuts are used on the feet. I knew from other reviews I wanted to torque those nuts down to hold the feet securely in place as the machine was used. Doing that with the little wrench provided was uncomfortable. Size: Very compact for what it is. It tucks nicely out of the way into the corner of the bedroom. Noise: Whisper quiet. FWIW I have it on carpet. I've only been using it for two days, but so far no creaks or squeaks, truly impressive. User Interface: Pretty basic, which is fine. I'm not looking for someone screaming in my face, or mountain road cross training programs. I just need something I can conveniently work up a sweat on. This does the job. Get on it, start peddling, turn the big knob to add or reduce resistance, BOOM. But they get too cute with it trying to add functions that don't really work. CAL for instance, supposedly counts the calories you burn, but in fact only counts how many cycles you peddle. If it was counting calories it would count faster when you dialed up the resistance. Likewise, what does "speed" or "distance" mean on this machine? Both of which seem to be measured in "mph". The pulse counter seems to work, but takes several seconds to settle on a value. I have an issue with the phone/tablet holder. If you put your tablet on it, it blocks the display. It's also located a bit far from your eyes and too close to your body. You have to tilt your head down to see it. It would have been much better to have a little extension above the display to hold it there. I may try to make something like that. Stride: The first time I used this machine I was worried I made a bad choice. The stride is elliptical and not a perfect circle, but it's more circular than I'd like. Peddling on it has some up and down motion (as can be seen in the video with the pretty young and fit actors using it). This made it more work than I wanted even with the resistance dialed down. However, on my second try I found a rhythm and a stride that I could maintain which minimized the up and down motion. Also, peddling backwards significantly reduced the up and down, at least for me. However I would have really liked the pedals to have been mounted like 6 inches farther from the flywheel. Miscellaneous: On top of the flywheel, the plastic is discolored. It is not cracked or dented. It just looks like it was stressed. It appears that the plastic shell is mounted to a piece of metal and perhaps the full weight was supported at that point some time during shipping. Regardless, the machine operates smoothly and I don't believe it was damaged in any way. It doesn't concern me in the least. ETA After a year of use, I am still happy with it. The only thing is the LCD display has faded to where I can't read it without shining a light on it. No biggie for me, the only thing I was using it for was the timer and I can use my phone (which I always have for something to listen to while pedaling anyway). As stated above most of the display functions are bogus anyway, but if tracking your heart rate is important to you, it's something to think about.

Ok, first things first. You will need help bringing it in and getting it out of box. Although I did it on my own I would not recommend it. This product weighs 105lbs and is super awkward to move. Okay now onto the review- It is SUPER EASY to set up! Once it’s set up it’s easy to move 👍 It is not only “quiet” it’s SILENT!! You can’t hear anything at all once you are on it!!! It has every feature you’d ever need. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND buying this product without hesitation. Well worth every cent!

Excelente es igual al de la imagen. Se siente de buen material.

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

Quiet, easy to put together. Good for smaller spaces. Sturdy. I would like it if the On board display would switch to metric.

excelente equipo... muy silencioso
