This is our third look at Sole Elliptical Trainers. The previously reviewed E95 is considered by many as the overall Best Buy Elliptical for 2009. The E25 is at the bottom end of the spectrum of the four Sole models (E25, E35, E55, E95), but is still a quality piece of equipment priced in the middle range of home elliptical trainers.

There are three primary differences between the E25 and the higher end Sole models. The E25 does not include heart rate control (pulse readout only); the display is standard LCD rather vibrant LED; and the footprint is smaller, 71″ x 27″  compared to 82″ x 33″ on the high-end E95. Although this is the most compact model, the stride length is a generous 20 inches, the same as all Sole Ellipticals.

The Sole E25 is sturdily constructed and features a 23 pound flywheel for smooth action and stability. There are four real wheels that ride on heavy duty rails to provide a more secure feel and reduced side to side foot pedal motion, a feature usually found only on more expensive models. This 2009 version adds a manual incline mechanism to vary intensity.

There are sixteen resistance levels and seven user programs to help break up the monotony. All Sole models feature unique over-sized and adjustable foot pedals. User capacity on the E25 is 325 pounds.

Sole offers a strong package of warranties: lifetime on the frame, three years on all parts and electronics, and one year on labor.

In addition to Elliptical Trainers Sole produces a line of high quality treadmills used for “in room fitness” by hotels nationwide.
