I researched ellipticals, checked ratings, and tried out several models. The Sole E35 was a little pricey, but so far well worth the $$. Took me the better part of an afternoon and evening to assemble. Not a bad experience since I know all the bolts and jointed areas that might later loosen and squeek (which WILL occur over years of usage regardless of the manufacturer/model). Good variety of programs and easy to personalize with buttons on the hand grips. I'm reserving a 5-start rating since I've owned it less than 6 months.

I don't need my protein to be amazing tasting, but this is so nasty that I dread drinking it. I originally got Strawberry to mix with smoothies, and as an additive to someting with real flavor, it's fine. But on it's own with water or milk, pretty gross. I was hoping vanilla would be a little better, but it's 10 times worse and leaves an aftertaste that makes me want to gargle with mouthwash. Not to mention, the package says it's "Instatized" because it supposedly dissolves with simply stirring. Yeah, definitely not. Clump city, but yet so thin. I'm mesmorized y the horrible nature of this protein and can't believe how many people love it.

I GUESS IT HELPED WITH MY STUDYING. IM NOT SURE WHAT REALLY HELPED EVEN THOUGHT I PASSED MY NCLEX THAT TEST WAS SOMETHING ELSE!
