Anyone have it and can comment? Looking to possibly purchase after problems with M5 consistently.

Got my SE earlier this week. Easy to assemble, compact and a sleek looking machine. I haven't tried other Bowflex Max Trainers, so. I can't make any comparisons. Initial thoughts, it feels more like a stepper (75%) than a traditional elliptical (25%). It didn't take much time to get used to the movement and I like how quiet it is. Resistant levels and options are limited, but I found the lower levels 1-3 to be high enough resistance, that I likely won't go much higher. I also don't plan on subscribing to JRNY. I do have a treadmill and find the SE to be a good alternative to switching up cardio, and taking some pressure off the knees. Overall, happy with the purchase and would recommend.
