Spirit Fitness XE195 Elliptical Trainer

This is a fine elliptical at a reasonable price. One feature I wish it had is a "random" setting to vary the workout and keep it from becoming routine. But it does have a "manual" setting, so for the price, I can give up the "random" setting. The machine also seems to have a fair bit of resistance even at the lower setting; thus, it's hard to mimic jogging. I wish it were a little easier to stride at Level 1. But it is solid, smooth, and reasonably quiet, so I am very happy with my purchase.

I like this machine (a replacement for the same machine that I bought back in 2020 that broke almost immediately and could not be fixed despite 5 visits from repairmen). However, the people who set it up failed to grease the sliders and secure the left pedal. They sent out a technician who fixed the squeak but he failed to remove the wobble from the pedal. I would never purchase another Spirit product again because of these repeated issues even though the repair people where very responsive.
