Extra Savings

Good points

• Front drive wheel makes this elliptical especially smooth
• 30 degree ramp
• Lots of workout programs and iFit card
• iPod compatible
• Fitness games to help you burn calories

Bad points

• Product says commercial quality but weight capacity is only 275 lb so be suspicious
• This model has been around for a while (could be pro or con depending on how you look at it)

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.
