In reverse order: I bought the warranty. It was cheap enough and it includes service. The thing is heavy. You will need 2 or 3 strong people to help you. They will have one guy to take it off the truck, but you will need to get it is the house. The directions for assembly were easy enough to follow. I won't say it was simple putting it together, but it wasn't splitting the atom or anything. Get another person to help you just so you have a second pair of eyes and hands. Took me about an hour. It really is a nice machine at a great price. It is definitely fitness center quality. My wife uses it every morning and she loves it. In reverse order: I bought the warranty.

Can't answer the Warranty Question. $250 for assembly is a joke. It took my wife and I 60 minutes - and that is because I was taking my time. The biggest hassle is getting it out of the box and placed where you want it, it is HEAVY. I am lucky enough to have a 16 year old built like an ox that was able to help me move it. As for two people need for assembly, basically my wife held parts out of the way as I bolted the uprights on, then she held the platform in place while I connected the wires. They got it set up so it is pretty easy. As for putting it where you want it, I would imagine that would be up to the guy driving the truck. Good Luck.

I'm pretty handy but not mechanically. I went. Through the instructions as well as watched some youtube videos on this. It took me about an hour to put it together with a little bit of trial and error. The biggest thing was moving it. It's pretty heavy my wife and moved the main unit together in our master bedroom and boy was it a work out. I would recomend that you have a spot picked out and make sure that's where you want it long term. It does fold up not fully to 180 degrees but it is a nice feature. All in all great product. Super quite.

It was very easy to put together, but you need two people. I had a recently herniated disk and my wife helped. Took maybe an hour moving VERY slow. However, when you buy from Amazon they will only send ONE person to deliver the box instead of two. (So said the delivery person...) I had to help get it in the house and that really sucked considering my recent injury. My unit squeaks when my fat behind runs on it. I weigh 230 lb so I'm not surprised. I don't know if professional assembly would help that - I had a guy come out to look at it under Warranty and he tightened a few things and said it looks good. It still squeaks. My wife is about 100 pounds lighter and it doesn't make a sound. It was very easy to put together, but you need two people. I had a recently herniated disk and my wife helped.

The delivery guys were very accommodating. They brought it right into my garage for no extra charge. After un bolting it from the pallet and un boxing it we put it in place. I tipped them $20 for the extra help.

As with anything that comes partially assembled, I check everything first then do my assembly. That being said, I got this for my Mom and she had specific things she wanted and this fit the bill. Glide not swing, (gliding moves much less than swinging in my experience). And so on. I have also had great experience with Amazon when contacting them with any issues. I'm not sure why other reviews have kept swing when they weren't happy with it. If you do your homework first, read all specs, read many reviews and check google reviews as well, you will be well informed if this is the right product for you. Not knowing how lucky my you have had the swing, not certain what Amazon would be able to do. I will tell you that when I have contacted them about an item that "no longer qualified for return", I kept going until I got to the "chat live" option. Once there it was a different world. I have had problems solved by their customer department on many occasions without any problems. They are there to help. Anyway, it couldn't hurt to contact them. Good luck. It's really important to check each sellers guidelines. I have the best luck with sold and shipped by amazon products.

It's heavy in the box, not sure how much, but I would not be able to move it myself unless I had one of those two wheel dollies. I still think you need two people, 3 or 4 would be better - if you have some friends that want to have some fun! I paid for mine to be brought up a flight of stairs (over the garage). However. The price of this equipment is well worth the work of getting it to where you want it. It's Stott all the way, and will last you a very long time. Having someone help you put it together is a good idea as well. I did it on my own but could have used some help. Bottom line: I highly recommend this product!!

The physical installation of cameras is fairly simple if you've done any work on your house yourself. If you need to drill new holes in your walls angle them upwards to keep rain/moisture out and use a wire and tape (or more sophisticated tools) to snake your wires through. Use cable clips to keep things tidy and do a test layout of cables to make sure sure they're long enough for the camera location to begin with. Since I've only got the initial 4 cameras installed at the moment I was less worried about the physical entrances (doors/windows) I put cameras where you HAD to come through to access the house. Also this is VERY handy for checking on the front door (a surprising number of door to door magazine/etc. salespeople after dark.) Addendum: I forgot to mention the physical mounts for the cameras are a bit tricky (at least they were for me.) There is a notch at the top of the ball joint, you must position the stem to be in that notch before you tighten the camera down or it will seem like the mount is loose. you can however mount the actual base in any rotation that you prefer the camera swing to be in. Sorry if this is confusing, just know that if your camera doesn't seem to lock down with the wingnut try a different configuration before giving up. The internet portion took me an afternoon, depending on your previous experience with networks/technology/patience this may be longer or shorter. You must be able to or be able to learn how to do port forwarding on your router. Don't rely on the website's port checker that they direct you to (the basic instructions are good, but don't be confused that you did everything right and they claim your port isn't open, check it yourself.) You get what you pay for in terms of ease of setup, but it shouldn't take more than a weekend to do; I still recommend getting this for the cost of the parts alone and the best part is its easy to upgrade down the road once everything is in place. If all else fails hire a young person with the lure of food as payment.

Like Darrin mine came fully assembled. He is also correct about the liftgate. When my couch was delivered there was no liftgate and there was only a driver so it was not that easy to get off truck and up my stairs into the house. The driver will only help get couch off of truck. But my furniture was not damaged. It was a hassle but we did save a few hundred dollars. I didn't do any of the work so it was worth it to me but I don't think my father and boyfriend would agree.

Would luv to help but just don't know. Maybe you can contact the seller; he should have an interchange manual.Main thing I do know is I'll never own another Husky though. Mine had 64 hours when the spindle went out and they laughed at me. Once I tore it down, I learned the upper bearing is a sealed unit. When you grease the spindle, you're only greasing the lower one. The top one burned up and seized. They looked at under warranty because of noise. They said they don't warrant noises, just broken parts. Two weeks later (and warranty ran out one week earlier), it went out and I found two weak idlers that I changed at the same time.Again, wish I could help you. Would luv to help but just don't know.

Dennis, as others below say it was not hard to assemble. Nevertheless I took it to a bike shop for some fine tuning of the shifting. The cost to do so was only $20 to have this done (Houston) but I had to leave the bike for a week.

Ours was only delivered to the garage. We had to get help to get it to the backyard. I've read reviews from people who were able to get their delivery person to set it in the area they wanted but no such luck for us.

Hi , it's been about 6 months since I did the gear assembly replacement , so it's not fresh in my memory.I don't know what #41A315-7D or #41A1-7D stand for , or what they are.All I can say is switching the gear assem. was a simple job . The only parts I usrd out of the kit was the gear set & lube. I probably didn't need to replace the screw gear, but as long as I had it , I did so. Go to youtube & watch the videos of the garage door gear replacement . That should answer most your questions .

I would be glad to provide a copy, but I'm not at my vacation home where the unit is located. As I remember the assembly is rather intuitive. I would suggest contacting Amazon customer service. Someone should be able to provide a copy of the instructions. Good luck!

If they send it correctly built, I would estimate an hour. I got stuck at about 20 minutes in with a manufacturing default. It appears it's going to be much faster (as in a week), to get Amazon to redeliver the entire thing, than to even get an answer about how long getting the defect repaired will take.Adding: If everything comes correctly manufactured, a drill with a low torque setting or a power screwdriver will really help make the process faster and easier if you have hand/wrist problems. It's a 2 person job, but doesn't take much strength.

The QC version has a 3 year warranty. Parts are available. I don't live near a service center. Closest is 110 miles. Shipping cost more than most parts. The motor unit which seems to have quality issues is expensive. Takes Hayward several months to get parts to their service centers. Mine stayed in shop most of this summer waiting on parts. Bearings and tracks go out the most and can be ordered from most pool supply websites. Tracks cost around $20 ea and bearrings around $8 ea.

Yes, automatic you should be fine. I was able to do it myself and save a few hundred the shop wanted to charge. If you get it from amazon and have it put in you'll just pay the labor cost....it will save you some cash.

What times I got it to work it was very limited and basic information. I know a couple of my friends who got one and they have had the same problem.

Do not listen to bs arguments like it's easier to carry around with you, because how often do you need it and when you do, do so in your garage. My wife got it for me as a gift, but is a flop.

When mine was delivered I was told it was curbside delivery, which was very problematic. The unit ways 450lbs and I have a 80ft driveway with a steep slope and no way to move it. The delivery driver called when he was on his way and I inquired about dropping it in my garage and he said no problem. I gave him a tip and we were both very happy. Considering with permits and scheduling the install it took 2+ months to get done, it was a huge deal. I would assume most drivers would help you would if you tipped them, but he wasn't supposed to in my case.

It wasn't easy for me. I ended up breaking my LCD screen too, which is the screen under the glass, (I think that's the name). So then I had to pay to get that replaced too. I ended up paying $150. Where as if I would just have had the glass professionally replaced in the first place I would have saved $100. The glue is extremely difficult to melt with a hair dryer and my glass was shattered into a million pieces. Overall I wouldn't recommend doing this at home unless you know what you are doing.
