I researched Elliptical machines for a while. And after long deliberation and trying to balance price with features, I purchased the E55 (instead of the E95) because i found no important discernible features.

My wife and I work out 5 nights a week for an hour each - so this machine gets between 1-2hrs a day, 5 days a week. About 2 weeks after we purchased this, our first squeak started to inch out. Then about 3 weeks out a second squeek started coming from the main wheel.

The unit still functions well - and for the most part seems built very solid (on par with most Precor and Life Fitness machines I have used), however the squeeks are annoying.

I am a little displeased with the quality of the display - After using Sole's F80 treadmill with the upgraded display, I should have spent the extra few hundred bucks just for the display. The display on the E55 is rather limited in what it can display at one time.

The other complaints are small.
1) The on-board fan is worthless - make sure to get a real fan to mount on a wall or put on a shelf to keep you cool.
2) The on-board speakers are worthless - make sure to put a decent stereo in the room (for your enjoyment and to hide the squeeks from the machine)

Overall, despite the drawbacks I mentioned, I still give this unit 4 stars because it is impressively solid for what you pay for the unit. I would recommend it to others, but suggest looking at and trying the E95 if only for the display.
