I have owned this machine for about a month and I am completely satisfied with it. One great feature about this machine is that it has an internal generator, meaning you are forced to have it next to an outlet to plug it in for the console to work---as soon as you get on and start moving, everything...

The unit came with a small part missing on a pedal leg. I called Nordic Track which wanted to charge me for sending the missing part. They finally relented but sent the wrong part. I went and bought washers to substitute for the missing bushing.
The electronics are terrible. The resistance settings...

This a heavy, well constructed machine. Easy to follow directions for assembly. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for assembly. Machine operates quietly and smoothly. I liked the sealed bearing construction. It is very solid and stable. Self powered display is easy to use and see. This machine would compete with models costing thousands more. Do your research and you will find, as I did, that this is one of the most highly rated machines on the market. Would highly recommend.
We saved $65.00 on delivery and 199.00 on assembly. The box was large, but with a pick up truck-no problem. It took about 2 hours to assemble. The screws all come in a box like chocolates do. There is a map above each section and tells what it is. I purchased this for 1099.99 and today it went to 999.99-so Sears did let me do a price ajustment. This elliptical is like the ones in a fitness center. It's very sturdy. I shopped for about 6 months to find the right one. Grand Blanc, MI
the 1600 elliptical is a beautiful machine. i have it for over a month and use it almost every day. it is smooth, quiet and easy on the joints. this machine requires no batteries. my teenage son loves this machine. to my dismay it is heavier and larger than expected. this machine is fun. i am bored with the treadmill.
Big box - so bring your pick-up truck or trailer. The oscillator mechanism is the heaviest part. This thing is extremely well built - assembled very well, and operates silently. Plenty of grease included 2 packs so can keep it quiet for quite a while. Wife loves her gift. We'll write a review once we have more time in use. I have used it 2 times for 1/2 hour a piece. Low impact high intensity. Very well build, and easy to use. Makes its own current for the display BIG + So overall so far A+ :)
I love this thing! My wife and I bought this elliptical, and I can't keep off of it. I believe that you get a much better leg workout than on a treadmill. HOWEVER, I do love my treadmill, too. I'd buy this again IF mine fails and they continue making this. No doubts at all about it.
The box is very large. But it fit in the back of our minivan. I recommend a pickup truck or trailer. Unpacking and initial layout took about an hour. But I was able to do it by myself. Assembly is definitely not for the novice. I have a garage full of tools and consider myself to be mechanically inclined and I found it challenging at times. Many parts to contend with, screws, bolts and grease. My machine had a problem with the handles fitting into the upper axle. The axle was machined very poorly and did not allow the handles to be inserted. I called Nordic track and they sent out replacement parts....

We bought this machine yesterday and assembled it today. The box was huge and extremely heavy - make sure you take a truck and at least 2 strong men to move it. My husband and I alone couldn't move it. I have to give mega kudos to NordicTrack for the excellent way the instructions were written!!! This was one of the easiest things I have ever assembled by myself. I needed another pair of hands just twice to hold the heavy parts being attached to other heavy parts. There is definitely no need to hire someone to do the assembling. Besides, the machine is SO BIG, if we had this thing assembled at...

Love this Elliptical and purchased it from the store. Tried all the ones on the floor, and this one was the best. Some of the other ones were a little two rickety for me, and I did not like the way they postioned my legs, but this one is awesome. I put it together myself and I am a female. However, It does take a couple of hours to put together. Take your time and make sure all the screws are tight, and that way the machine will run smooth and won't sway. I do not regret this purchase at all. It works out both my legs and my arms. And I have used it just about everyday since I have bought it.
I have had my elliptical for 3 weeks now & could not be happier! I was looking at the Autostrider 990, but when I went to Sears and actually got on the machine, there was such a HUGE difference in the 990 to the cx1600. The 1600 felt like a "real machine", something that could hold up over time and take being used every day. The 990 was not sturdy, made noise (a lot) and felt like it could tip over if a 200lb person got on it.
For the price difference which was $500, the 1600 was worth every dime!
I wanted something I could do at home and get a great work out on - being a stay home mom, time is...

the 1600 is an amazing piece of equipment.. It is very well built, and it is smooth and easy on the knees. I would highly recommend this machine to someone wanting a durable elliptical that works like a dream.
After having multiple problems getting the elliptical assembled by professinal assemblers authorized by Sears, we have found more noises, creaks, and uneven movement when using it. Also we don't like the calorie burn function with being able to input individual weight. I don't find the elliptical as smooth as other reviewers have stated. It makes funny noises, sounds like pneumatic brakes are being applied and squeeks. For the price of the machine and the cost of assembly, I expected more.
Bought this elliptical last week and love it. We have used this everyday. This elliptical is so much better than running or walking on a treadmill, very smooth. Programs are easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone.
