I started using this the same day I received it. Other than popping the 2 AAA batteries into the LED readout, there is no assembly required. It's ready to use right out of the box. It's solidly built and is heavy, so it doesn't shift around, even when peddling as fast as I can on a polished wood floor. It has a low profile, which makes it perfect for my 27" (in height) desk and I'm short (5'1"). The elliptical motion is more forwards and backwards with a small delta in up and down motion, so if you have less clearance under your desk, it won't cause the issue I had with an under-desk bicycling exerciser. The bicycling pattern made me move my legs with a lot more up and down motion, which in turn caused my body to move side to side. This is not great when you are trying to type on your keyboard, or are in a video meeting. The magnetic resistance goes from almost no resistance to high resistance in 8 increments and is manually set using the big dial on the front of the unit. No dependence on being near an electrical outlet lets you exercise anywhere there's a flat surface big enough for it and something to sit on. This is not a model built for standing on. So far, it's everything I've been looking for – heavy, quiet, easy to use, low profiled, perfect resistance range, sturdy, and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this under-desk elliptical. NOTE: I bought this unit because my job is totally sedentary, and this was causing edema in my ankles. I've only been using the elliptical for 2 weeks, and the edema has lessened dramatically in that short a span of time. I'm expecting the edema to become a non-issue by the end of this month. Yay for staying in motion even when you're sitting at a desk all day long!
