Our Recommendations
This elliptical is a strong contender for those seeking an affordable, app-integrated cardio machine for home use. The free SunnyFit App is a significant value-add. However, customers have reported mixed experiences with assembly and build quality. While the manufacturer specifies a 16” stride, some users find it feels shorter. We recommend this machine for users looking for a decent workout and good value, but be prepared for a potentially challenging setup and possible stability issues.
Conclusion
The Sunny Health & Fitness Smart Upright Elliptical offers excellent value, primarily through its free, feature-rich SunnyFit app and low-impact, full-body workout capabilities. It is an excellent choice for budget-conscious individuals seeking a connected fitness experience at home. However, prospective buyers should be aware of the potential for a challenging assembly and reported inconsistencies in stride length and overall stability.

Excellent, affordable price
100 Miles Later, Thoughts–I feel healthier, I look better, I’ve burned off some of my too-much-screentime pudge, I have finally grown a fat butt (in the good way).I started real slow, short bursts, going only until I started huffing/puffing. First time: level 1, 8 mph, made it 0.3 miles. [Yeah, I know, don’t shame me.] I have physical disabilities: I cannot bike, run, swim, jump. This is the only repetitive-motion workout (machine) that does not cause me harm.Careful never to push myself: because if I got hurt using it, I know I would stop using it, for months. Slowly stepped myself up to faster/longer. By one month: level 1, 12 mph, nearly a mile. Now: level 2, 15 mph, 2 miles. [Hey, for someone who has been derelict for 12+ years… Don’t judge me.] I use it at least twice a week, before I take a shower, having made it part of my routine. [Or if I am passing by and want to power through a quick mile, if I’m feeling like a fatty.]This elliptical has a shorter ‘gait’ than others, looks a little odd. Consider: power walking looks silly, yet it works well, which is why people do it: same concept. Shift your weight slightly and use completely different muscles. If getting tired: twist instead at your knees, thighs, hips, waist, shoulders: work more of yourself, differently. Push/pull with your arms instead to relieve some pressure from the legs. An all-around decent workout.I did not need the Bluetooth-enabled display. I care only about how far I get at what speed, and don’t need my phone judging me. [Or any insurance companies buying/selling my exercise progress.] Should you care about such things, or if you require an external source judging you: spend the extra money to track your progress.The motion is smooth, but occasionally the back-end starts getting a little ‘grindy’ in tone, but that usually passes. I thought I was going to have to grease the gears, so to speak, when it started sounding worse for a few sessions, but that went away of a sudden one day and hasn’t returned. The right handle clicks a bit if I grip the top-half, but again only intermittently. [A crack inside the handle, mayhap? Squeeze it just wrong and it can be heard.] Overall, this elliptical is not silent, but also not loud.Starting out from stagnancy is difficult/discouraging, but worth it, if you keep it up. Make it a part of your routine, do not push yourself too hard, and do not deviate (more than one skip-day here and not-often there). Run yourself a little less hard/long if you don’t feel up to it, but do not quit. Quitters only grow fatter assess (in the bad way).For your health: here is a good, affordable, reliable choice.

Too heavy to return for a missing part .
Missing parts. There was no nut to secure the handle to pedal. Another nut and bolt was too tight I could not attach pedal to base. Let’s see how cut timer support responds then I may change review.Great customer service. Got the parts and happy with item.

Difficult to build and poor customer service process
Be aware- This product was very difficult to build. The cables didn’t seem long enough to fit to the handlebars so I requested a replacement but after much perseverance I was able to build the original trainer so I tried to cancel the replacement and this is where the nightmare began….the replacement order couldn’t be cancelled so I was told to reject delivery which I did. I then kept receiving emails saying they were collecting the original trainer, after 6 phone calls and an email from Amazon confirming they had received the replacement trainer back, my card got charged for the full amount again. After 3 more calls to Amazon (now 9 calls in total) a refund has been actioned.To say this has been a nightmare is an understatement. I would recommend the product but unfortunately the service has been really poor.

I’ve never regretted a purchase more
This device has exactly 0 pros:Size – It’s pretty compact. That’s a pro, right? Well… Kinda. The thing is, exercise bikes with this footprint are easy to come by. And I know why you’re here, you prefer ellipticals to exercise bikes. I do too. But I’m telling you, whatever it is you think you like about ellipticals, this machine doesn’t offer that (read on in the cons for more on this). Get yourself an exercise bike with the same footprint and you’ll be happier. Furthermore, avoid this brand at all costs.Cost – You’d be tempted to think that it’s cheap, but cheap items only save you money if they don’t fall apart quickly. It’s not cheap, it’s just a low upfront cost.Its cons are overwhelming though.Jerky – You think of an elliptical as this nice machine that lets you choose which muscles to engage because as long as you keep the average effort over time at a certain level, it’ll keep spinning right? Not this one. This one requires continuous engagement or it immediately slows down. Is there even a flywheel in here at all? I’m honestly not sure at this point. This elliptical is about as fun as running, but even though I hate running, running is free.Noisy – Thud thud thud. Why does the whole frame contort every stride? Who knows. Thud thud thud. Also, the mechanism itself isn’t quiet, which I didn’t notice until I finally replaced it.Fragile – The left foot pad broke during shipping. I tapped it together when putting it back together. The right foot pad broke one time when I stepped on it a little wrong I guess. I tapped that back together. A little more than a year after I bought it, and with infrequent use, given how much I hate this elliptical (probably 20-30 hours of use or less), it’s finally done me the favor of starting to fall apart. The nuts on the pedals keep coming off. I’m not sure why, but it was frankly a blessing. I ended up buying an exercise bike with the same footprint, which is smoother and quieter. The exercise bike wasn’t cheaper, but the exercise bike doesn’t need to last very long before it will be cheaper per hour of use.Not really an elliptical? – So I’m not even sure if this thing is really an elliptical. Ellipticals let you use your arms. This thing doesn’t. Like yeah, there are handlebars, but remember that bit about being jerky? The flywheel (or lack of) is so bad on this machine that you cannot maintain the motion purely with your arms. Ellipticals let you back pedal. Not this one. The frame contortions and jerkiness overwhelm any honest attempt to do so. Ellipticals let you just press & lift with your feet almost like a stair climber. Not this one. Again, the jerkiness of motion denies you the ability to actually use this thing like you would expect. I know you like ellipticals, I do too. But this isn’t what you want. I’m sorry. I wish it was. Please. Let my pain be enough for you to learn from.

This machine is solid and silent when in use. No sound at all. It is also very smooth. Excellent value for the price!
