Amazing elliptical.
By Stephen Cosgrove
I bought this a few weeks ago through the manufacturer since Amazon didn't have the 2013 model yet (I had the money ready and I wasn't feeling very patient, plus, the manufacturer was offering a tax free + free shipping deal that I couldn't pass up).

Regardless, this thing is incredible.

Be careful when you order it, as this package is heavy as hell. It was intended for a room upstairs at my house and I had to carry it up one piece at a time. The base, which includes the fly wheel and foot positions is a two person job. We kept the bottom part of the box underneath it and lifted by the box to bring it upstairs. Again, HEAVY! If you plan on keeping it downstairs, it will be a much easier job (just slide the thing if need-be).

Assembly was mildly difficult. I assembled it myself and the instructions were lacking. Just giant pictures with parts and small numbers all over the place. I'm not saying you have to be a rocket scientist to put it together, but it does take a bit of time. The main step I had issues with was step 4 (the last step). There are a number of covers that are supposed to be put on (seem to be mainly for aesthetic value, but I could be wrong). I decided to give up on the last 4 covers, since I couldn't figure out where they would go or why they would go there. The instructions say things like, "Put the [ball joint cover] #112 (#112 isn't labeled on the parts and the picture is microscopic) on using screw #49 and #52." So you have to flip back four pages to figure out which screws are which, and you never have any idea what part #112 is. Not very intuitive.

Once I got it up and running though, everything was a breeze. I think the functionality outweighs anything bad that can be said about the instruction manual.

The fan on the machine isn't superb, but chances are, if you have a room dedicated to workout equipment, you've got a stand alone fan or a ceiling fan in there anyway. I haven't tried out the speakers (and don't plan to) because I have a computer set up in front of the elliptical that I use for all of my entertainment purposes.

It came with a chest strap for heart beat monitoring that works like a charm. Most ellipticals do NOT come with this. The strap comes with an extra battery. NOTICE! There is ALREADY a battery in it! I stripped a screw trying to find out. It also comes with a water bottle (thanks!) that fits perfectly in the designed storage area in the face of the screen.

No noises, very stable. The structure of the machine feels well made while the covers are made of plastic. Love the screen. Very large. Also, the screen has a lip on it that will fit a Kindle or an iPad if you're into that sort of thing.

I highly recommend this machine if you want to start getting into shape. Just remember, personal ellipticals are expensive. DO NOT LET IT TURN INTO "that thing that I lay my clothes on." Personal responsibility, need, motivation, and financial stability need to be taken into consideration before purchasing something like this. If you're ready, I highly recommend this machine.

I think the negative reviews are due to assembly errors, not the elliptical
By berle
I ordered this directly from the manufacturer's website, due to the fact that the 2013 model was not available on Amazon. Sears offered it for the same price, but it did not include free delivery like the manufacturer (but Amazon does when it is in stock). The delivery service was really easy to deal with: they gave me a two-hour window, and were true professionals when delivering the item. Keep in mind that you will have to pay extra if you want the delivery person to lift it up stairs, etc. They will be more than happy to wheel the heavy package into my garage, but if you are expecting them to move it into a room inside your house, you will need to cough up more dough.

The elliptical works great, it is silent, and I like the large info screen. I was contemplating going for the E35 model (more expensive), but it would not fit in my preferred location due to the additional length; the E25 is shorter in length by many inches. That said, I am totally happy with the E25, and I feel like the upgrade to the E35 would have been overkill for my needs and not worth the additional money.

I am going out on a limb, but after reading the negative reviews on this site, I get the feeling that most people are writing negative reviews for this particular model due to their own assembly errors. Instead of exclusively using the included tools for assembly, I used a 3/8" ratchet with 12mm and 14mm sockets PLUS the included 13mm open wrench. I also used a 1/4" ratchet with a 5mm hex/allen bit versus the included L-shaped allen key. These two tools enabled me to significantly reduce the assembly time to about 1.5 hours (and I assembled it really slowly to be safe). I should also add that I assembled this machine myself, with no other help except to lift the heavy chassis into its final destination inside my house.

I assembled a bed frame from that big Swedish store this past weekend, and I have to say that the instructions and ease of installation of the elliptical machine was way, way easier.

Go ahead, purchase this item. I researched the older version of this model online, and it seemed to be the best value of any elliptical that cost less than $1,000 - especially considering the high level of quality.

Cheers!

Broke after using twice, Sole Customer Service unresponsive.
By Michelle Dorne
After setting up the elliptical and using it twice, the right wheel kept jumping the track after taking a few steps (we both weigh well under the max lbs. noted). A quick google search (and information in the manual) indicated that it might be a problem with 1)too much dirt or too much lubrication on the track, or 2) bolts not tightened enough. I cleaned off the track and wheel with rubbing alcohol and placed a small amount of lubrication back on the track. My husband and I tightened the bolts. The wheel still keeps jumping the track after a few steps. I tried calling Sole Customer Service and was placed on hold for 40 minutes (even though the recording stated that I was in position 1). After holding for 40 minutes of waiting at position 1, I somehow jumped to position 2. With no indication that my phone call would ever get through to a live person, I hung up and sent an email request through Sole's website. I received an email a day later asking me to fill out a form. No big deal, except that after I filled out this additional form, I received an email two days later stating that I needed to send my original receipt and then a representative would contact me. Why was I not notified of this during the first email? I could have sent all the relevant information if it was requested of me up front. I emailed a copy of my receipt within an hour of receiving the email. I still have not heard back from any Sole representative either via email or by phone. This equipment is basically useless. The wheel jumping off track during use is incredibly dangerous if your knee is in the wrong position when it goes off track. I would not recommend this model and I'd go a step further in not recommending any Sole products for lack of customer service.
