5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent elliptical, May 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Nautilus E514 Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
In short, the Nautilus E514 is an excellent elliptical. I live in a condo and wanted a piece of exercise equipment that was quiet and relatively compact. This immediately ruled out a treadmill and a bike just seemed too boring, so I decided on an elliptical. I looked online to read reviews and identified several models that were generally given good scores; however, because there was no consensus I decided to stop at a nearby Dick's Sporting Goods to test some of the equipment first hand. I am lucky I did. Initially, I was leaning towards and AudioStrider, but it turned out to be quite wobbly. As a result, I started testing some of the more expensive ellipticals that were on display. As most of the online reviews had said, the ellipticals that were over [...] were much more sturdy. They also had additional features such as variable strides and inclines. However, the problem was that they were enormous, typically ~80" in length, which was just too big for my apartment. That... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Product, December 20, 2010

I've now been using this elliptical for about 2 months and think I can make a fair product review at this point.

a) Assembly was easy and all hardware and components are clearly marked. Did it by myself and it took about 1.5 hours to assemble complete. If you're a handy person this will be an easy assembly, if not you should have someone help you. Honestly, unpacking the unit from the carton took as long for me as putting the unit together. The machine comes very well packed and protected, but cutting away all the foam blocks and tape is very time consuming!

b) Functionality is excellent. I have a Nautilus bike I purchased a few months ago and love its fluid and exceptionally quiet operation. This was one of the main reasons I purchased a Nautilus elliptical as well, as I was expecting the same type of operation. It works exactly as I was expecting it to...quiet, stable to the floor, and easy to operate.

c) Computer is easy to operate and there's... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars NIGHTMARE if you need warranty work, June 16, 2010
This review is from: Nautilus E514 Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
If I had known the process to get warranty work done on this Nautilus E 514 I would have run like the wind. I purchased this on MARCH 13 The motor quit after less than 2 months and it is now JUNE 16th and still no technician has scheduled to fix the thing. I was using the machine less than one hour a day when it quit for no apparent reason and starting making a hammering like sound inside the casing. I am 145 pounds at the heaviest so that should not be a factor in a machine that accomondates 300 lbs. While it was working it was fine, but I could have joined a top notch fitness center for the $750.00 I spent to sit around and wait on a repairman.
UPDATE: STILL WAITING It is now JULY 11th and although an authorized Nautilus repairman from the company General Assembly, which Nautilus contracts for repair work, had to come over a 3 hour drive (that was the closest repairman although I live in a large city) He had to order more parts and left me with the machine taken apart until...
