Review of Sole E35
Rating: 4 out of 5
I think elliptical machines provide the best workout. It was always my favorite machine whenever I hit the gym, so I decided to get myself one to save on long-term costs. I picked the Sole E35 which was a bit pricy I have to admit, but I learned that all quality fitness machines always are. For elliptical machines, the sales lady told me that most products that are worth less than $1000 normally don't last that long unless they are used sparingly. I needed one that I could use daily which is why I decided on the Sole E35.
The first thing I tested out when I was checking this product out was how sturdy it is. I honestly have to say that this is pretty well built considering that it isn't that expensive, relatively at least. I also liked how the machine had long strides which are really good for getting a good stretch and contraction motion on my leg muscles. The foot pedals are also pretty big and I liked that because there was more room to breathe for my feet. It also came with a two year warranty which is something I would expect for a machine this expensive.
One thing I didn't notice until after I bought was that sometimes the heart rate monitor wasn't as accurate as it should be. It wasn't a big deal for me though since I was more concerned about the other aspects of the machine and I don't really measure my heart rate anyway.
At the price of $1300 this is probably the most competitive elliptical machine available. It has a pleasant mix of quality and value which most people, me included, appreciate. If you have a bigger budget though there are better ones out there.
