Comments

• The clearance price of $899 is attractive and buying it would not be a mistake though it is up against some stiff competition that have similar offerings at similar prices. It would be wise to take a look at our other recommendations first even if you've already set your sights on this elliptical. UPDATE: On August 11th, 2009, this elliptical was further discounted to $699 instead of $899 at the time of review. If you've been thinking about buying this elliptical for a long time, there's no better time to buy now.
