I have owned the Gazelle Edge and am about to buy another. I moved across the USA and did not pack mine to ship. I use it as a "keep moving" product as I am a big walker (former runner) and found that it kept me moving in between. I was not trying to be aerobic just keep moving and off the couch. If you want a "workout" you need to work it harder. I have done that. It is quiet, easily stored if needed, and I loved it. By the way, I am a fit 70 (almost 71) year old woman and intend to continue that way.

I'm 55 and I use it. It takes getting used to. I started with the treadmill alone until I built up some stamina.

Sorry,but I gave it to a old man who recently passed away. But it worked incredibly well ! I give it four out of four stars!

No. You would probably be happier with a super automatic machine. This machine is a challenge to learn and use, and my skills are advanced. Look at DeLonghi. They are excellent and, with cleaning and care will last for years.

I don't know what a "manual" machine would be, but the Omron is very easy to use. Just put the sleeve on, push the button, and you get blood pressure and heart beat....very easy.

I have no idea, sorry.I can say that this is their most simple machine and is less likely to break than the more expensive machines, enjoy

We purchased and highly recommend a Speed Queen. This is a commercial type of machine, simple and well built. You may have to search for a local dealer. It may seem to cost a little more. It is worth it.

My Dad is 81 years old and uses it. It works well for him. He likes it and isn't terrified by it. I would compare it to a watch alarm.

If someone REALLY wants into it, they are gonna get in, but they would have to do some damage to do so. This machine has worked flawlessly for us. I ordered an additional key ( it comes with two ) and a spare tray. The extra tray comes with a cover so I can load the tray at my house and then just swap trays when I get to Mothers house. It also has battery back up in case of a power failure. I'm very happy with my purchase. This machine has allowed Mother to stay in her house rather than moving to a nursing home.

Good buy for the $$. Great customer support if you have any questions. The Makergear M2 is a great machine too. Little more money. Also the seemecnc is one to look at too.

We loved this machine. Warranty terms often time change, so I would contact the manufacturer or speak with someone that sells it locally.

Absolutely you can share this machine. I do with my husband all the time. :) His blood pressure is perfect now and he just turned 70!

I dont know if there is one for these. I do not use them. I just purchase them for the folks at my Fathers nursing home to use for him

Hi Jerrad, although it doesn't state anything about elderly use in the description, nothing can be guaranteed. I'm sure they are worth a shot. That's a scary problem you have there, you don't want any accidents. If you do want to give them a try and they don't work, I have no problem issuing a complete refund. Good luck

My answer to both of your questions is yes. My elderly mother is very happy with it also.

Wonderful machine. Very reliable and easy to set up. My elderly mother is thrilled! No worries for the care giver.

I'm not familiar with a lot of different machines. I have a Janome 2212 which is a very basic model and it works well with it. I used to have my grandmother's singer and this walking foot worked well with it also. Seems to be pretty versatile. HTH
