Marcy - not the make they used to be.
I purchased a Marcy Onyx 80 elliptical trainer 10 days ago from Argos for £400 and unfortunately it is going back today. The flywheel completely failed yesterday morning and is now completely unusable. I can't fault the 3rd party supplier who called shortly after l reported the fault to Argos, they offered a replacement but be warned when l asked of there was an issue with the flywheel (and l commend them for the honesty) they said yes. So I am going for a full refund. The only positive l can find with this trainer was its ease of build, and it worked well for the time I used it (45 mins per day) helping me burn 500calories,(info from my fenix 5 watch the trainer would show nearly 700) . I am now saving my pennies and will wait until later in the year when availability will hopefully see a wider range with better build quality and the inflated prices will drop to more realistic levels. My advice is to avoid this make meantime, or if you have the space keep the box and packaging until the end of the warranty. I used to view Marcy as a quality brand standards have apparently slipped.
