Omg, it's great. It's very high quality (that's the reason I wanted Stott to begin with). This is a lifetime purchase machine. It is the home version so it is lower to the ground than the studio version but it feels every bit as sturdy. It's the full length (I'm 5'10" and I have plenty of room on it.) Sturdy, sturdy, sturdy and totally quiet. It has wheels so I can move it even though it is pretty heavy. Took about 10 minutes tops to set it up it came 90% set up, basically I popped in the headrests, put the cables through and I was set up. I had to read the wording carefully on how to make sure the cables were the right length but after reading it 3 times I understood what they meant. Professionally packed (check list was done by hand and everything was there). I paid $0 for shipping via Amazon, if I bought it directly through Stott they wanted an extra $300 for shipping. The shipping company was great (Eagle). They brought it right to my apartment. I am 100% thrilled with this. I have to pay $75 a session in my local Pilates studio (plus tax) to get a reformer workout once a week. Now I can do it everyday if I want and it will pay for itself in no time. Great quality. Can't find a thing to complain about other than now I have a huge empty box I have to break down and get out of my apartment. Yes a lot of money, but if you've been going to a studio for the last two years like I have -- worth it!!! 5 stars

This is a great machine for those who like stott pilates machines with limited space for exercise equipment. This is the best purchase I have ever made. It's great for home use or personal training. 5 stars

I couldn't be happier with my Stott Pilates At Home SPX Reformer. It is the same quality as the professional Stott reformer at the Pilates studio and was practically ready to use right out of the crate (6 easy steps were required that I was able to complete in under 30 minutes). I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is seeking an amazing workout in the privacy of their own home. 5 stars

I've taken pilates reformer instructions from a trainer and I paid $350.00 for a 5 lesson package. This meant only taking a lesson a week. I had the Total Trainer with Pilates machine and it was not even close to a real reformer. The Stott Home SPX IS A REAL REFORMER. It's wonderful. Best yet, I can use it several times a week. It really pays for itself. The shipping company (Eagle) were fantastic. I placed the order Sunday, had it by Friday. If you don't mind shelling out some bucks upfront, buy this machine. You will not be disappointed. 5 stars

I love the machine, it is everything it promises it to be, but for the color: the reformer turned up in black rather than as pictured in off-white. I was specifically looking for something less intrusive in my white loft. I wish the seller specified the color as black, rather than just giving a false image on all websites. The machine has a very distinct unpleasant smell, which I hoped would disappear by now, however after a few weeks it is there and it is still strong, but that should go away, the color stays...
The reason I did not even consider sending it back was that the box is absolutely huge and heavy and the delivery person was really struggling with getting it off the truck as there was no indication in the shipping instruction that he needed any specific equipment/help.
As for the Pilates experience, it is a great machine, very smooth and flexible, I particularly like that it has 5th spring which allows to further customize workout.
