Merit 725E will surely exceed your expectation. Main issue we faced while trying to review our unit was to get a model. They are no longer available in any of the reseller of Merit. We had to use a mint quality trainer from ebay to review this.The unit that we received was used for 6 months. But the previous owner was very careful. With 6 months of usage there will be visibly no defect with this trainer. We have took apart all machine (our one was semi assembled); and stumbled a lot to put every thing back.
- This trainer is too heavy to assemble the parts alone.
- It is also rather tough to move if you like to do work out in different places.
- The upper limit of the carrying capacity of the trainer disallows the heavy persons to use the widget.
- The product has a large movement area yet fails to take up a huge footprint like other elliptical trainers.
- The elliptical sometimes exhibits a hard-knocking sound for the unbalanced and asymmetrical wheel.
As far as the matter of assembly is concerned, it is quite easy if you follow the straightforward instructions. However, sometimes you may need an assistance of another person, though it is not always necessary. Most of the users assemble this trainer by themselves in 2 hours approximately. If you ever experience minor screech, try to resolve the problem applying grease in the right amount. It is reported by some of the users that even after daily utilize of the trainer by the 4/5 members of the single family unit, it showed no issue. They are satisfied with the product.
