I purchased this recently and just got it. Its overwhelming at 1st all the parts and the pieces. I live in an upstairs condo and was really worried about getting it up the stairs but someone suggested taking it out of the box and carry it up in pieces. That was the best idea. We had to make a few more trips but it was so easy. Granted the main piece and biggest piece are still heavy but it was a great idea.
I am female and it took me about 2 1/2 hours to put it together. I esp had some trouble with one of the bolts on the Right Handle. Not sure what the deal was.
I felt the pieces (ie the bolts) could have been labeled a little differently. They weren't labeled exactly how they were listed in the assembly manual. But I managed.
I too had trouble with the squeaking. But I got back online and reviewed the reviews and did what they said and loosened the bolds on the arms that are connected to the piece that goes through the mast and that seemed to take care of it. However I haven't offically used it for longer than 15 mins yet so I have yet to test it out fully. But it seem to make the squeak within a min or two and its not doing it now.
I am amazed how quickly it gets your heartrate up. So I think this machine will provide a great cardio workout can't wait to put it to the test. But so far very pleased.
I would recommend the mat for underneth it. It helps even for just moving the machine if need be.

First off I want to say that the main factor in purchasing this elliptical over the plethora of others on the market was the overwhelmingly positive feedback it received here on Amazon. Therefore I feel it's my responsibility to contribute my own $.02
Purchasing from Amazon
Amazon had the best price plus free shipping. I was really surprised by how quickly this item was shipped out. I received it in via freight delivery service in under a week. Please note that this freight service is only obligate to bring this to your door. I wasn't home at the time of delivery but my gf gave the lone delivery a $10 for taking it up to my 2nd floor apt.
Assembly
It really wasn't that difficult at all. You just have to have some patience. I started off by carefully taking all the equipment out of the box (wasn't that easy) and laying it out. The assembly is really straightforward. I found the manual to be more than competent. Like other reviewers mentioned I used the white lithium grease to lube the moving parts. You will be able to easily identify these parts since they are already sent lubricated by the manufacturer. A few people on here gave the product terrible reviews because some of the pieces were wrong or broken. I didn't have this problem.
Using the elliptical
This machine is really sturdy and well built. It runs very quietly and smoothly. Surprisingly the resistance works very well. After using it for 30 minutes I was totally exhausted! In case you're curious I'm 5'9" and 195 lbs. I feel that if I were over 6' the stride may feel a bit too short but for me it's fine.
Negatives
The only negatives I can come up with is the fact that LED screen does not have a backlight and the part where you put your feet on is made of plastic and doesn't have rubber grips. The problem with that is my feet consistently come off the foot pad a bit which makes a little noise. As you can see from my review it's a pretty minor complaint.

I love this elliptical! October 22, 2009

I could not be happier with this elliptical. The motion is smooth and quite, better than the models I have used at the gym. The unit feels sturdy and well built. I have rhuematoid arthritis and this machine gives me the low-impact smooth workout I need to stay fit. The unit is big enough to feel steady but still compact enough to fit in my bedroom. I am 5'2" tall and the reach on this machine is fine for me, I feel quite comfortable with every aspect of the elliptical. Well worth the price.
