Yes after a while it does squeak. I use wd/40 I thought it was because I use it a lot. I use mine everyday. I love it.

I haven't had this happen to me,yet. But I can tell you that I have to tighten the screws pretty often.

Mine worked well for over a year. I like it and use it a lot but the squeak is starting to become unbearable. I've been using WD40 and it will help for a while. Also, it doesn't squeak immediately most times but only after I've been on it for a while. I'll try tighten the screws again and possibly try silicone as well.

Yes mine did same thing but on right . It only does it periodically. I thought if it kept it up I would spray it with silicon spray.

I make sure to place lube on the track and I sprayed WD40 were the "pedals" can be adjusted. I also took the plastic covering off were the arms attach and realized it was the source of some of the noise. I WD40'd that area and replaced the covers. The noise or grinding sound stopped. Occassionally I still spray WD40 on the pedals. Ultimately you can call in the warranty folks for some troubleshooting if it is still a problem for you. I have had my elliptical for over a year and aside from the occassional noise it gets a lot of use!

No I haven't exprienced this issue. My problem was the wheel started to get very squeaky. I sprayed a little WD-40 in it & it's working fine now :-)

No squeaks. I called customer service at the company once and they were so good. Why not try that?

You need to buy a mattress. It squeaks when going up or down. The part that plugs into the frame falls out all the time. I have not tried resolving my issue with the company.

Adding my situation, had the dreaded squeaking on the left pedal, confirmed it was the rubber wheel against the rail bar. Tried all the solutions, loosening the arm nut, lubrication, but nothing worked. The noise got worse, and now the right side is making noises too. Drives me furious and kills my mood during exercise.

I got mine in mid-September 2014 and it seems like the lift mechanism is failing. The stool does not stay lifted to the full height, wobbles, and makes a sproingy/springy sound. I just contacted Vandue (the vendor) about repairing or replacing it. I may look into spending more in the hopes of getting something better. I will try to remember to update this based on the feedback I receive from Vandue. I will check to see if this is under any kind of warranty as well.

I have no idea since mine doesn't squeak. There's a humming sound when it goes on but that's the fan. Is it the fan that's making that noise? sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi Louise I have had my trampoline for close to 10 month now and it has never squeaked, very unlike my old one with springs. I use it outside even in the cold under cover. Could it be moisture or temperature in your case?I think the tension is adjustable by shortening the bungees. Good Luck.

I have found no noise or squeaking in the one I purchased. The person who sleeps on it doesn't move around a lot. Hope this helps

IT WORKED!!! (Your husband is a genius. I never would have thought to loosen something to fix a squeak!. I ran it hard for 45 mins this morning and...no noise!)Thanks for posting that trick!

Nothing "bangs" on my elliptical. I've been using it multiple times each week for two years. I had a few squeaks and have tightened the bolts. Sorry I can't help.

I 100% agree with PublicBuzz! I did exactly what PB said and Voila! My squeaky problem is completely gone! So, after just living with it for 3 years, I now have a quiet elliptical. There is still the normal "rolling" noise but the grinding noise is gone. Thanks so much PB for such clear, simple, logical instructions. I have the 418 model.

I think there may be a problem with your unit. I've had one of these since before Christmas, anyway, and it makes a kind of low hum when I use it, but no creaks. I weight about 210lb, so maybe I squash the creaks out of it, but I think you should get Rodeo to send you a replacement.

Make sure the belt isn't too tight. I put mine together with the the belt as tight as I could get it at first and it squealed. I went back and noticed that the instructions say to keep a little slack in it.

I returned this machine as soon as I got it!! It was not a full body vibration. Only felt on bottom of feet.

Yes, but... when it begins squeaking it is time to re-tighten the screws. I use this machine for at 60x60 for 5 minutes 3x per day, 6 days per week. About every 2 weeks the legs must be adjusted and every 6 weeks or so the screws must be tightened. This is, after all, a seriously vibrating machine. It is going to unscrew everything.BTW, my machine is located upstairs in my home. I added a couple of interlocking rubber floor pads under the machine to mitigate the vibration downstairs. It has worked well, although my Cockatoo screams when I am exercising (downstairs).
