I would like to know if the agitator kicks some butt on this machine or is it like all the rest...barely moves??? Thank you for your assistance.

It's a good machine for what's available today. I returned two of the "new water saving" machines that are useless, that's on the market today. Then I found this one. I LOVE this machine. It's as close to an "older version" washer as your going to find. The agitator works great but not like 30 years ago. It is NOT as weak as the new water and energy saving models. Those actually left stains on my clothes. This has not. Everything is clean, and I can add extra water, softener or bleach when I want to, not when the machine dictates it through a cup holder. " I like extra bleach at times when needed. " You wont be disappointed with this machine. It CLEANS clothes unlike the water savers today. I wish it held a larger load like the old monster sized "heavy duty" machines but it in fact cleans well. No bells and whistles but clean clothes and spins like the dickens so ready for the dryer. It's worth every penny !! You will NOT find a washer like the ones from 30 years ago...I already spent near a year trying. This is the next best one, and comes in second to those older models we loved so much. When it goes I will buy this same one again...

All the motor does is cause it to vibrate. There is absolutely no movement other than what your own arm provides. Hope this helps.

I just made bread this week....I have never had to worry about it moving. I love this machine. I have also made an extra large batch of cookies....no problem with any movement.

It is not - it is a heavy piece of equipment, and I would have to say, once set up it really is not something you would move. It is awesome though - really sturdy equipment that allows for a great workout and a quiet workout. It is wonderful if you are looking for low impact, aerobic exercise! The only downside to this recumbent elliptical is you cannot change the tension, but I find it to be a great work-out regardless. And it is (or at least when I looked) difficult to find a recumbent elliptical for home use! I highly recommend it.

The belt causes the brush roll to spin . Take off the bottom plate of the vac by un-screwing a few screws . examine your belt , it is either broken or really streched out . If that is not the case then you have a bearing problem in the actual agitator .

I've never owned one of those, but I will say this unit is way more capable of doing what you need. I still, and wont use all this machine's capabilities. Its a good constructed piece of equipment. I got two, one in my bug out bag.

I didn't realize you couldn't put more resistance on it than cycle at it's own pace. But, hey it's movement, and I know I'll be using it more than the one which requires you to cycle it. It just would have been nice to have the option, when you felt a little more energetic. Ha But I just got my machine today and I need to post a question, may not be the right place, but does anyone have one that stops moving periodically. Just wondering if this one has a short, or it just does that.

The base goes up and down from side to side. Good Vibration action. The machine has a speed control that makes it go faster or slower--your choice, all while it's vibrating. I needed something that vibrated slowly for my 70 year old mother who primarily uses it. I add squats, and arm lifts and even sit on it to do some leg lifts for my abdomen. Its a good workout for my aching joints and muscles..

The machine is very stable. A very slight sway-hardly recognizable. I have it on a piece of carpet on the concrete floor in my basement. Carpeted surface should be fine.

Very slight scratches. I'm not impressed with this machine and wish I had returned it. The suction is inadequate and it really does not do the job. What is your experience with it?

Yes, it is a great machine. Only issue is set up...it's a little challenging. Hope that helps.

Mine moves very smoothly over the whole range. I would call Incra and ask them directly they have always provided outstanding customer support.

I find that the machine is pretty quiet as far as exercise equipment goes. My treadmill is much louder, and it's probably even quieter than my stationary bike.

Hi Gary, I had a spare piece of 2x4 (about 22 inches long) so decided to test this. Initially, I heard some squeaking, but I adjusted the placement of the 2x4 more towards the front of the machine and that stopped. I noticed a very slight wobble side to side but it seems stable enough. I do just walk at the moment, so I'm not sure if the wobble would become more pronounced if you jog / run/ Even with just a 2x4, the incline is noticeable when compared to yesterday's 'workout. I'm loving the incline - thanks for the idea!

This is an excellent machine. We have not had our machine very long but my wife's friend has had one for several years and she uses it daily. That is why we bought this model. Good luck!

I've asked coffee friends about the 'puck' ... depends on how hard you hit it.I went out to hit my table...it is fairly solid, but does make a noise when struck.Louder as force increasesIt is not flimsy vibrating metal ---'snare-ish' Bottom of table top has crosspieces welded for added stability and rigidity. In a quite room this might be to much noise, but with normal background it might not be noticed.Sorry not much help ...

My wife still has her's. Anything specific you would like to know? It's fairly durable, snd I think we are closing in on our 2 year mark. Doesn't elevate a whole lot. Folds up nicely in the garage. Pretty good treadmill overall. My wife would purchase it again, if given the option.
