We needed a way to get good cardio besides the treadmill we already owned, so chose this Sole E25 unit. A very good decision. It's smooth, well-constructed and an excellent workout. We have thoroughly enjoyed it. I could give it five stars if some aspects of the assembly had been easier, but now that it's together, it's all good. The various programs you choose from are challenging and enable you to switch your workout up as you wish. The little fan is just that -- a little fan -- nothing that's going to help much to keep you cool. You'll want something bigger to keep air circulating during your workout. It did develop some creaks and "swooshing" sounds after about the third day, but that was just the glide rails in need of lubrication. Once they were lubed with the oil that is included, they were silent and smooth again. We like this ellliptical very much.
