Stamina 55-2065 Dual Action Elite Programmable Elliptical / Stepper User Reviews..

A two in one exercise machine? How can you go wrong?
The Stamina 55-2065 Elliptical/Stepper is a nice piece of equipment. The assembly was pretty straight-forward. It took about an hour and thirty minutes which I don't think was too bad. This machine is not totally quiet but it doesn't make any squeaking, squealing and/or knocking noises like other ellipticals that I've tried. I love the great workout you get with this machine. It works almost every muscle in my body. The workout programs are quite challenging, which is a good thing. I'm still on Level 1 whereas when I was going to the gym and using their machines I was on Level 5. So this is no easy machine, again, that's a good thing.

- Straight-forward assembly

- Very nice looking and sleek design

- Takes up little space and quite compact especially if you want to put it in a small space like a bedroom(where I have mine).

- Two machines in one! It's an elliptical and a stepper and it's easy to switch from one to the other. There's your value right there. No need to buy two machines.

- Well laid out out button controls and clear display

- A nice variety of different settings to try or to challenge yourself. They'll always be a program that will give you the intense workout that you want. So this machine is great for people of all fitness levels.

Dislike: Stamina 55-2065
- The dual action bars tend to be a bit on the wobbly side. No amount of screw tightening seems to alleviate this. I'm not sure if this is normal for this type of machine or my product has a defect of some kind.

Minor or knit-picking gripes ;-):

- I wish there was a heart rate monitor on the dual action bars and not just on the stationary bars.

- I wish the display was backlit.

- I wish the water bottle holder could accommodate thicker sized bottles. I know the machine comes with a bottle but I like to use the one I've always used.

All and all, I'm quite pleased with the Stamina 55-2065. I did months of research to try and find the right elliptical. I read both the positive and negative reviews for other machines and I was scared to purchase one until I came across this one. I'm glad I listened to the reviews and got it. This is a solid machine and will definitely give you the workout you need. No more gym membership for me.
 
AWESOME!
I was reviewing ellipticals for two yrs but I just kept coming back to this one. I finally purchased about two weeks ago and I LOVE THIS ELLIPTICAL, it's very sturdy and it's not to big a bit of a space saver. The resistance is great has a couple of differant settings, It's a must have.
 
Great value so far..
So far this has been a great buy. The free shipping was wonderful. The company called and worked with me on delivery, which was very helpful with my work schedule. The assembly was about 1 1/2 hours from start to finish as others have said. It definitely helps to place all the tools and parts out on a flat surface so they are easily identifiable and handy. The directions were easy to follow, and I was able to assemble it pretty painlessly. Switching from elliptical to stepper mode is so easy, it is hard to believe you get all of this for the price. The machine is super quiet to operate. There are lots of pre-programmed workouts. The first workout was challenging. It will definitely be a great cross training tool. Read all Reviews..
