We realize that everyone is different. Not everyone buying an elliptical needs the same features.
With that in mind we approach our elliptical reviews from a buyer's perspective - asking "Who would this machine be right for?" and "What's so special about this brand?"
That's why you'll find our brand reviews list both the overall strengths and weaknesses of each brand as we see it. You'll also find (if applicable) a list of different product ratings with links to where you can find more information about each elliptical.
We consider several things when doing our reviews including:
Overall Quality of Construction (Is it built to last? What's the warranty like? What kind of parts are used - cheap plastic, aluminum, steel?, etc.)
Popular Features (Is there incline? How about an iPod dock? Arm Bar controls? Backlit Consoles?)
How Ellipticals Compare to Similarly Priced Crosstrainers (Does it give more or less than similarly priced models? Is it an overall good value for the money?
Reputation of the Brand (Do they stand behind their warranties? Are they a large company with enough resources to weather the economic storms? What are the general user reviews of past models like?)
We hope these elliptical reviews help you in your buying decision. The great news is that there are a lot of excellent crosstrainers out there to choose from. Enjoy your research and enjoy your new elliptical trainer!
