Favorable Review

Love It!!!!!

MAR

2009

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... read full review »

Critical Review

Good, not perfect

DEC

2008

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... read full review »

So far, a great purchase!

JAN

2009

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... read full review »

Quality Machine

MAR

2009

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.

Great Machine

DEC

2008

This machine is very smooth. I have used it almost every day since I got it 5 weeks ago. It is a very good workout! I was surprised at how sturdy and quiet it was and then it developed a few squeeks . I have retightened the screws which has eliminated most of the noise. The CX 1600 is very heavy (due to it's quality construction) and larger than expected, but overall I am extremely pleased with it.

Disappointing

MAR

2009

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 didn't work the first few times I tried to use it but seem now to have started working. The heart rate monitor doesn't work. When I asked Nordic Track about that, I was told I must be perfectly still for it to work. How ridiculous--I don't care what my heart rate is when I am still. I want to know... read full review »

Love this Elliptical

NOV

2008

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.

Not too sure

APR

2009

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.

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.

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.

Great Machine!!

NOV

2009

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 lights up and you can choose your program. This unit is extremely quiet too---I get on mine at 5am while my husband sleeps in the room across the hall--it has a very smooth and fluid motion that is so gentle on your joints. I had to give up running because I couldn't move the next day---with...

This is a great Elliptical!

NOV

2009

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

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.

the beginning was easy

DEC

2008

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+ :)

With upgraded bushings and sealed bearings, this heavy-duty elliptical operates much smoother than your average elliptical and will far outlast most ellipticals available on the retail market. Much like having a personal trainer create a custom workout for you, this elliptical will create custom workouts based on your input. Super easy to use, the NordicTrack CX 1600 helps you get what you really need out of every workout. Not only with you enjoy smooth operating resistance, but you can instantly adjust your resistance at any time during your workout with the touch of a single button instead of having to scroll through options. 9 Personal Trainer Workouts automatically adjust the pace and resistance of the elliptical during your workout to focus on aerobic, weight-loss, or performance goals. 3 Heart Rate Workouts help you stay in your target workout zone by automatically increasing the pace and resistance when you need to raise your heart rate and lowering the speed when you need to lower your heart rate. It also includes 3 workouts you can create yourself.
