Is the machine stable when in use or does it sway a little?

I set up my Elliptical on an exercise mat that is also on a carpeted floor. I don't notice any sway and seems to be stable to me.

It sounds like the machine is not quite level. If it is vibrating a lot, you may want to make sure that you have a firm, level surface and that the legs are all secure on the bottom of the machine. They are small, black, and may come loose or move slightly which will create the movement you are experiencing.

Yeah. As long as you fix up those small stands provided, it stays pretty stable. I leave it on cardboard for an elevated state, and its as steady as a rock. But if you prefer like a pin drop silent night's sleep, this fan gets noisy as you up the speed. That's the only negative. But that has never been an issue for me so, I say its a great choice for the price.Hope this helped.

This system is the most stable. It does not sway as much as the all in one pull up bar model.

It's very sturdy. Mine sits on a gym mat. Since it's not bolted down, it's only gonna be as sturdy as your floor is evenly flat. I haven't had mine shake on me. My friend claims when he's struggling on the dips, he's had it slightly shake. Nothing extreme like tipping over. Obviously because if you let your body shake, the tower will too. Rock solid in my opinion.

I haven't had any trouble with it tipping over, but I tried it myself and it did continue to run. That's obviously a safety concern that should be addressed.

It's pretty solid. The legs go "out" as opposed to straight down. This must help with stability. I've used it with power tools and haven't had any problems. As it gets older with more use it may wiggle a bit but so far so good.

It is fairly stable giving its setup. I haven't had any issues yet but like everything else care should be taken to prevent accidental falls. I have mine in the kitchen for breakfast.I Hope this helps

It does seem a bit shaky, but I have not been gentle with it and have had no problems so far.

Mine is quite stable. I use a chair which makes the mat bunch up some but is still stable.

When I first got my machine I weighed around 270. The machine handled that weight without any hesitation. I feel very confident in telling you that 300+ pounds won't shake this machine at all.

I only had an issue with it tipping over if I was hanging a heavy carry on bag off the extendable handle. Otherwise it was quite stable.

It's pretty stable. I can write at the top and it shakes a bit, but not so much that I have to support it with my other hand.

No it's normal. Need to make sure it's full of sugar, it's self balancing. I have 2 machines they vibrate a lot

Yes; it may seem a bit shaky during assembly, but once everything is tightened it's pretty rigid. It can be picked up one-handed and will stay in shape, there was no noticeable movement loading it up, and it's stayed solid for several months now. You'd really have to go beyond its intended use to see it become shaky.

It's pretty stable. We have construction guys using it and it holds up nicely..

The unit is very stable. I've never had it tip over. If your previous unit lasted for 8 or 9 years you got your moneys worth. $2.00 a year!
