Cons

The ProGear Air elliptical provides no limitation when it comes to its capacity to give you the best workout possible. However, there have been several complaints from customers regarding the slight asymmetrical in the movement of the crank arm on either side of the machine. This was allegedly due to nuts that are quickly loosens during operation of the machine, no matter how you tighten it every time it gets loose. Personnel from the company admitted as much that they already know of this glitch in their product and have taken steps to correct the matter. This slight problem is most probably corrected by this time, hence this should not be considered as disadvantage of the product anymore.
