This review pertains to the 'Niceday' Elliptical Exercise Machine with 19" stride, Model CT11-19 for $800. The box arrived in good condition with several dings in it. The interior packaging of the box cushioned each individual part very well so there was not even a scratch of damage. It took over an hour to unpack it and discard all the packaging and about 2 hours to assembly it. The assembly was very easy, but I took it slowly to make sure it was done right. Every part was well labeled in the manual. They even included two wrenches, so all I needed to add was my Phillips head screw driver. I was impressed by the quality of the hardware and the parts. This is well made. Once assembled it was very stable, and the operation was whisper quiet and smooth. It does come with a simple control panel to monitor time, heart rate, etc. I love that it is simple. Some machines you need a degree in computer science to figure out. Not this one – very easy to use. Plus, it needs no wires and no electricity. The control panel runs on 2-each AA batteries. A simple knob adjusts 16 levels of tension – the control panel is not needed for that. To top it off, it weighs 125 pounds, so it is easy to move via the front two wheels. I specifically wanted the 19” stride. I am 5’ 8” 170 pounds. Smaller strides (15” to 18”) are not as effective and are awkward to use unless your body is smaller than mine. This unit supports a person up to 400 pounds and 6’6” tall. If you need an adjustable incline, this does not adjust. You will need to spend about $500 more to get that feature made by some other manufacturer. I am more price conscious and can easily do without the incline. The base is 42” long x 20” wide. The legs swing an additional 12” to the front and 6” to the rear. The handle height is 63”. To top it off this company offers Lifetime service for assistance & parts. Their phone, email, and physical address is on their website, https://nicedaymoves.com at the bottom of the page. In conclusion, I love this unit and would buy this again in a heartbeat. It is very gratifying when a company does everything right.

I don't normally like writing reviews. I mostly write them when I have issues with a product and want to warn others. As you can imagine, I've written many lately. I enjoy writing this one because much to my surprise everything they advertise is absolutely true! Before purchasing I read many of the reviews and watched the videos. There is only one minor issue I saw in the reviews and it may be an issue for you if you don't use the eliptical in a well lit room. The display is not backlit so it makes it harder to read in low light conditions. I was ok with that so I purchased it. This eliptical is sturdy, well made, easy to assemble, and quite (no sound at all). I am 5'8" and my husband is 5'11" so I wasn't sure about the 15.5 stride but it is perfect. The tension adjustment moves easily and can be adjusted while working out, no need to stop. The range of the tension is amazing, from a casual stroll to climbing a very very steep incline. I'm out of shape so it actually feels like climbing a mountain. For it's size, it really gives you as good a workout as one you'd find in a gym. I put it together in one room and very easily moved it, across carpeting, by myself with very little effort, to another room. I am truly amazed! On top of all that, it was supposed to arrive 12/27/24 but surprised me by arriving on 12/23/24. What a great Christmas present. Thank you for selling a quality product at a fair price and fast shipping.

This might be a bit long but I want to provide as much info as possible when spending $1000. Let me start by saying I’ve always worked out on high-end Precor machines in my community center until I moved. I lost 200lbs in 5 years and have gained back 100 and needed the workout machine that helped me on my journey to being fit. I can’t afford a $3000-$5000 machine. I'm currently 5’4” and 300lbs. Things I like: Price. For my height the stride is great. It’s stable, not wobbly and I’ve been using it for about 6 weeks, 3x per week. I have arthritic knees and hips, which is why the impact of an elliptical works best for me. I have wide feet and the pedals are comfortable. I like the fact you can peddle backwards. The arms cannot be stabilized and so always move with motion, but you don’t have to use them. I use it in my basement with low ceilings and my husband who is 6’ would bump his head on the ceiling if he used it. I would recommend anyone taller to have at least 10’ ceilings or you may find the ceiling to close for comfort. As you can see from the picture it fits nicely in a smaller space. It’s also easily movable. It took my husband 4 hours on and off to put it together. I appreciate there fact I did not need to pay for assembly. The large box is awkward so you may need help moving it by yourself. Currently the parts operate smoothly, no noise. The distance, time, and speed metrics seem accurate. See pictures. What I don’t like: The monitor screen is light and hard to read unless I have a bright light on. The calorie counter is not accurate. I worked out for 35 minutes, my watch said I burned 300 cals and the machine said I burned 37…that’s not possible. The movable arms do not have the heart rate monitoring, so you have to change your workout and use the non-moving handles to check your heart rate and it takes too long to track as it starts low and slowly builds every time. The amount of time it takes seems unreasonable, and definitely what I like least, but my watch handles these metrics and so it’s not a big deal. I did a lot of research and chose the rear-drive over the front drive to hopefully work my glutes more than my quads, but I still feel like my quads take the load of the stride. Overall for the price, length of stride, a non-electric model, it works well as long as you are not counting on it for accurate metrics. For my purposes, a solid convenient workout, I would buy it again.

This machine was delivered pretty quickly. It was easy to put together I used the online video step by step. I put it together in one room and easily moved it to another room with ease. It works great, it does not make any noise. Very quiet. The monitor works great. If you are out of shape make sure you start the tension out low and its so easy to do. I tried it forward and backwards. It will give you quiet the workout. It is very sturdy and made very well.

Pros: - Strides are smooth, long, and quiet. - Doesn't take up too much space. - Easy to assemble. The proper tools and instructions are provided. Not too many steps and not difficult to figure out. - Easy to move after you put the wheels on. - Everything works (at least at a very basic level) Cons: - Pulse is on separate handle and starts at around 70 and only goes up by 2 about every 2 seconds until it reaches the correct number - Resistance not connected to computer. Is separate piece and requires significant adjustment while exercising if you want to change resistance level. - Calorie burn is extremely low. Think around 1/10th of what it should be. Probably related to the resistance not being included in the equation. - Machine shakes heavily with an intense workout (not bad at all if you take it slow). - Shakiness and small area for electronic devices means your phone will fall off very easily.

Arrived in just a few days. Came mostly assembled. A male friend assembled the rest for me. I'm 63, and I just wanted all bolts to be secure. Quiet and smooth. Easy for me to move around and reposition when needed. I have psoriatic arthritis and wanted something for cardio and resistance. A better and more healthy alternative to walking. I live in Texas on a farm, so my choices are gravel or fields. It also can be too windy, cold or hot. So this elliptical is a great alternative. I highly recommend.

I’ve only had this for a couple of days, but I can already tell you that I absolutely love it. It is incredibly quiet and feels like a gym machine – or as close as you can get to one. I love the fact that nothing needs to be plugged in and it gives you an incredible workout. It’s also easy to place in the corner of a room without taking up too much space. I must say that the screen is basically useless, but the workout on the machine is fantastic. I didn’t want to give it a five star because of the screen, but if you are like me and use your Apple Watch, you don’t really need it.

It took me a couple of hours to put it together on my own. Gives a decent workout, good resistance and comfortable to use, though the monitor didn't work at all. You could turn it on and set it, and then it would turn off. I didn't care because I could keep track on my own. However, I've had it less than a month and the wheel started to grind, and some other metal component was shrieking; it was very loud. Despite using the included container of grease and drowning every joint in WD40, nothing helped. Luckily, I had bought the protection plan and when I reached out, they just refunded my money. Which is . . . fine, I guess, but now I'm going to have to move this heavy thing to the trash, I guess.

I was looking for a simple elliptical machine that doesn't require electricity or make much noise. I read several positive reviews and decided to order this one. It came in a big heavy box that the delivery guys thankfully delivered to my front door and then I drug it inside on my own. I opened the box and set all the loose pieces aside on a table. It was packed very well. My first glance at the instructions filled me with dread but then when I actually started to look at them along with the loose pieces, I realized the instructions weren't that bad at all. They showed helpful pictures (don't get discouraged by all the numbers - they DO make sense). It took me more like an hour to put it together but it really did come 90% pre-assembled. It came basically folded in half but once you assemble it, it'll stay in its assembled position (you can't fold it up and tuck it away). The "putting together" part consisted of screwing in screws and bolts in various places - quite easy actually. Once assembled, the instructions said to use it for 10 minutes to test it. It actually exceeded my expectations. It really is silent. Sometimes I wake up at 4 and can't go back to sleep but I also can't really exercise because of all the other people in my house. I'm thrilled that I can actually do something that will make me sweat and not wake anyone up now! It's a very smooth operation. It's simple. The digital computer starts up when the pedals move so you don't even have to turn it on. You can set the timer if you want. When you stop, the computer will turn itself off after 4 minutes of inactivity. It has 16 levels of resistance. I haven't been this excited about a purchase for a very long time. I love that it doesn't take up half a room. Oh, AND it's easy to move! I bought a 2x4 foot mat for it to sit on but it doesn't need one. I would say the depth is actually more like 140 cm instead of the 100 cm advertised. It might be 100 cm when the machine is resting and the pedals and handles have returned to "center" position but when it's in motion, you'll actually need 140 cm (55 in) of room available for things to move around. The width (2 ft) and height (5 ft) are spot on accurate. I'm 5'8" and my husband is 6'1". We both find it comfortable for strides.

It's not electric.

So quiet, you can use it right beside someone watching TV and not disturb them at all. It doesn't take up a lot of room but the stride length is perfect; I'm 5'11 with a 34' inseam and cheaper, smaller ellipticals have hurt my knees in the past. Easy to assemble and move around as needed. I'm very happy with it!

Easy to put together. Very smooth and quiet during use. Had a problem with a couple screws stripping but they provided extras so it was fine.

C'est un appareil très silencieux, et solide très stable.Nous sommes très satisfait mon mari et moi.Facile a assemblé avec les instructions . .
