Hi everyone-
I have been looking at elliptical machines at used equipment stores, new equip stores, ebay, online, newspapers etc. Does anyone have one?
I'm just wondering about price and if you are satisfied with the equipment.
If I had the money I'd probably get a nice $1,000 one that is really smooth, but unfortunately I can only afford a new elliptical for about $400.
Any thoughts?
I would probably advise that you keep saving and postpone your purchase until you can at least shell out $600 or so. We had a $360 one from ProForm that we got about 4 years ago. It was OK. But soon, the magnetic resistance dial thingee just didn't work anymore and so it was unadjustable. We suffered with it that way for the last 3 years and then just bought a new one with the electronic controls. It's much more stable and more quiet. I think it was like $800, but there was also a nice one for about $600. So that would be my suggestion. I think most of the stuff you find at a used store might be good, but generally, the people decided they wanted something more than that machine and upgraded. SO not sure how long something from there would satisfy you, unless you found something in really good shape that's not too old in the design dept.
