Which model did you buy? Upside, downside?


I think it's an E-25. About a thousand bucks. It's not as described on the
Sole website though, in that it has 20 levels of resistance (web site says
16) and also has the heartrate monitor feedback programs.

They are rated very highly in the reviews. It's very quiet and smooth
compared to some others that I tried before purchasing. The only downside
so far was simply getting used to it. I'd say I have a moderate user
program that I use .... resistance increases from about 7 to 13, levels
there for a while, then decreases again. After 30 minutes I am sweating
bullets.

One thing I learned. You need more than the minimum resistance programmed,
otherwise your legs start going a mile a minute. You can also reverse the
direction of your leg movement, but I haven't tried that yet.
