Having fully testing a Sole E35 elliptical at Sole headquarters, we feel confident in recommending it as one of our "Best Buy" models. In fact, one customer we spoke with indicated that her assembly technician said he couldn't remember the last time he was called for a Sole machine warranty (but he mentioned many other brands with problems). It's funny as when we were at Sole, the lead customer service person was sitting around without anything to do (it's true!). At Dick's sporting goods, although the one we visited offered many brands of equipment, the salesperson quickly responded to us that the Sole elliptical was their best seller and he mentioned it was due to the noticeable quality difference.

The Horizon EX-59 is one of their best sellers — and for a good reason. The machine is offered at an affordable price with a 30 minute simple assembly. Although this machine is not commercial grade quality, it is certainly a good value. The EX-59 has an 18” stride length, and an LED console that allows stat tracking. This model offers a great workout at an excellent value — and it’s currently ON SALE. Read our full Review Here.
