Cons

Questionable quality and poor warranty

For manufacturers to give you an inexpensive machine, they have to cut corners in some areas. Sadly, it's the product's quality and durability that suffers in this case. We're hoping  to see at least one year parts and labor  warranty but we’re not surprised of the 90-day warranty on parts and no labor warranty at all. This  is something that makes us think if this machine will be of service to you for a good number of years.

Unknown weight capacity with low machine weight

Weighing just 96 lbs, you can't expect this elliptical to be sturdy. Amazon user reviews say this elliptical machine moves when in use. And with the Body Max Power Magnetic’s unstated user weight capacity, we can't be sure how much weight it can carry. It's probably safe to say it can handle a 200-lb user but it's just an estimate. This unstated weight capacity affected this models overall rating in the ranking system we’re using in this website.

Lacking many features

Though expected for this price, you may want to know that this models doesn't have an incline feature, has no reverse stride motion, no cushioning, and comes only with basic handlebar grips.
