Great value for the money   Review Date: March 21, 2006 Reviewer: T. Wagner, San Diego, CA It's no Precore, but considering the price, this elliptical is probably one of the best values out there. It's got the features that really matter (quiet, smooth operation, 20 resistance levels, heart-rate monitor, calorie counter, etc.) and none of the gimmicks (like a fan or speakers). It took about an hour to assemble, and has performed great. If you're looking in the under-$1,000 range for a good elliptical, you can't wrong with the Horizon E-52. Solid piece of machinery   Review Date: August 4, 2010 Reviewer: Happy camper, I have had no issues with this elliptical and have used it for over 2 years. Built well and functions nicely for under $1000.00 Nice smooth motion and you dont feel like you are going to tip over or break it. I would buy it again. Almost perfect   Review Date: June 13, 2005 Reviewer: D. Nash, Raleigh, NC United States This elliptical is a great starter-level machine to have in your home gym. It's nice & solid, built out of sturdy parts. It's heavy (150 pounds), meaning it won't rock back and forth much as you exercise (I'm 6'5, 210 and it hardly moves). Best of all, it came with decent directions and only took maybe 30 minutes to put together. Time and again when I was researching ellipticals I came across reviews stating how hard xyz machine was to put together; that's not the case with this one. I have a couple minor annoyances with the machine. 1) The display is rotated slightly off center, I think due to poor craftmanship of my particular unit rather than design. 2) There doesn't seem to be a way to turn off the loud beep that sounds every time the machine changes workout levels. On some workouts, that's every 20 seconds! Admittedly I haven't combed through the manual to see if there's a hidden way to mute the thing, but there's no obvious way at least. Kind of amusing considering the two stickers on the unit that say "Speakers not included on this model". All said and done, I'm very happy with my purchase & I think that the e52 will help keep my wife and I in shape for some time to come. Oh btw, Amazon had it to me inside of a week of ordering it. Some headache getting it but a GOOD machine   Review Date: September 10, 2005 Reviewer: Amit J. Patel, Rutgers, Pharmacy I don't know what had happend to this order. Usually Amazon is good with their shipping; however I odered this machine on the 24 of Aug. and recieved it on the 8th of Sep.. The assembly came with some problem, the main shaft was bent and it did not allow me to place the mast inside, so I resorted to a hammer and pliers. After that everything was a breeze (it also helps if you have your own tools, it would make it a lot faster than those provided). When I finally got onto the machine, it was GREAT. I'm used to using a Precor machine at the gym, and this does not stand up to it; but for a home gym at a resonable price I'm definately glad I bought this. I have it on a level floor (that helps a lot) so it does not "wobble", the resistance is great, NEEDS a water bottle holder, few but effective programs, and it's quiet. I would recommend this to someone. Awesome for the $$$$$   Review Date: March 21, 2006 Reviewer: Lynn Gaetano, Virginia Beach, VA I purchased the Horizon E52 after much research. They have one of the BEST warranties for this level of product. Amazon had it delivered earlier than expected. In fact, I received it even before the original ship date! You will need help with assembly but all in all I think it took us less than 2 hours. I've used the machine for a little longer than a month and it runs great! I would suggest an equiment mat when you purchase an elliptical just for vibration purposes. But it's not too noisy. I do have to turn up the TV a bit, but no big deal. The resistance levels are great too. And there are four different programs which I enjoy too. Obviously this is not a PRECOR gym level machine. But I don't think I could have gotten a better product for the $$$.
