I first saw this unit at Costco and was impressed, I mean really impressed. I contacted Icon Health & Fitness and was stunned to find out that Costco was not going to pick it up for the season. Maybe the Costco buyer is soft in the head. I have never commented on buying decisions but when you see this elliptical up close and in person it will remind you of ellipticals in the $2000 price range. It does have some weaknesses like the power incline ramp, but I am seriously considering buying this unit for my own house. Icon is planning to offer this unit online, but I am sure that you will have to pay for shipping.
