This equipment does give you a good workout with it's smooth motion and sufficient resistance levels ...
Initially, I was going to give the ProForm Cardio HIIT Elliptical Trainer five stars after the first month of use, but I decided to wait a couple of months. This equipment does give you a good workout with it's smooth motion and sufficient resistance levels for all fitness levels. However, after about two months of use, there was a loud squeaking from the right side, or right pedal. I wasn't sure where the noise was coming from, so I schedule an expert to come and take a look at it. A week later, and just before he arrived, the noise suddenly disappeared. I was a little frustrated at that point, but I assume all was good at that point. A month after that, a loud creaking noise started to appeared, and to this day I have no idea what it could be; I'm sure it has nothing to do with the bearings, but rather with the structural frame. Mechanically the HIIT Trainer is still sound, but the noise is starting to become very annoying, and I'm thinking about buying another equipment.
I've posted a video with my issue (noise) and if anyone knows what is causing the problem, please comment.
Update (3/17/2018): I've sent emails and support requests to Proform, and the owner, Icon Fitness a couple days ago. If I don't hear back within a reasonable amount of time, then I'm going to purchase another elliptical/stepper machine. If I do hear back and they are able to help me with the issue, then I will give this product a few extra stars on this review.
