Pros: Small footprint. Very smooth action. Virtually no upkeep need.
Cons: Water-bottle holder and tray to hold IPod/Walkman could be more accessible.

| pirgnori's Full Review: Octane Fitness Q35e Elliptical Cross Trainer |
I bought this machine about two years ago, and it's the best piece of indoor exercise equipment I've ever had. The foot print is small. The gliding action is smooooth. The number of programs is exceptional and allows you to vary workouts so they don't get boring. Upkeep is minimal. Buy in a reputable store that will stand behind the product. I've never had the need for a service call, although the manual advises user to lube the rails at least once a month, an easy chore. My machine came with a complimentary tube of lube. I understand the newest model has a more accessible bottle holder and, I hope, a tray for an IPod or Walkman, but these are really minor nits to pick. Overall, this is a fabulous machine. The movement is so good that I can stay on it for more than an hour, although my average workout, at level 8 or 9, is 50 minutes,during which time I burn up closed to 800 calories. Do that 4 times and you knock off a pound.
