 Well worth the money I spent Aug 07, 2009
I bought the BH Fitness X4 Elliptical Trainer at a Gold Box price and am well pleased with my purchase. It was a little intimidating at first when the box arrived and there were so many parts inside. However, it was obvious by the packing and the instructions that this was not a cheaply-made piece of equipment. It was well laid out how to put it together, but even so expect it to take at least 3 hours assembly time from start to finish. The end result is quite impressive. The picture doesn't quite prepare a person that it's going to stand so tall and take up so much room, but it makes me feel like I got my money's worth in a gym-quality piece of equipment.
As for the actual use of it, I had to start off slow and build up to even 15 minutes on it because of the workout intensity it provides. And I've not even scratched the surface of its capability. This particular trainer probably works best for people over approximately 5'5" tall and up to probably 6'2" tall, but that's just my guess. Everyone at my house falls in that range so it's good for us. It runs smoothly and quietly which is always a plus. No problems so far.

 Solid and effective exercise machine Apr 16, 2009
I've used the BH x8, which looks identical to the x4 pictured, and it is very solid, easy to program, easy to use, and effective. It feels like a very good workout, and it's low-impact, so it doesn't bother my shins like jogging or even a treadmill would. It feels solid and doesn't jiggle when you move. It's also pretty quiet, with just a swishswish sound as you work out.
The upper-body movement takes a little getting used to, perhaps especially for someone with short arms, but it's doable, and it feels good. And you can always hold onto the other handles, which monitor your heartrate, instead.
I plan to buy one as soon as I can afford it.
