The Stamina 55-2065 merges the benefits of both an elliptical trainer and a stepper into one unit for upper and lower body toning and a low-impact cardiovascular workout.
This sleek and relatively compact model employs a heavy duty flywheel-resistance and belt-drive train to operates quietly and smoothly.
The elliptical mode blends stair climbing, cycling, skiing, and walking [...]

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 [...]

Purchasing an elliptical trainer, treadmill or exercise bike in the under $500 price range can be risky, and often leads to disappointment. We always recommend considering your specific needs and doing enough research to know exactly what you’re getting and what to expect over time.
The Eclipse 1100 HR/A features a uncommonly small footprint and patented [...]

The Proform 330 Elliptical is primarily constructed of plastic, as opposed to the durable metal frames seen on higher end models. This negatively affects stability and product life but does improve assembly [...]

The Smooth Fitness CE3.2 is rated a notch below their highly regarded CE7.4 model but still offers plenty of stability, durability and extra features.

The dual action design makes it simple to switch between two of the most popular forms of cardiovascular training methods available. In either mode the comfortable padded handlebars [...]

As the most advanced entry in the Sole E series, the E95 model is a premium, commercial grade, high-end elliptical trainer. It’s our Best Buy Elliptical for 2009.
On the surface, aside from a different colored display,  the E95 looks nearly identical to the lower-priced E55 model. Other reviewers have criticized this while implying, or stating [...]

The first line of promotional copy for this little elliptical is “Forget the gym.” What? That’s a bold and misleading statement. By no means will this device replace working out at a gym or using a more complete and versatile home exercise machine.
The foot-pedal only design of the Stamina 55-1610 has distinct disadvantages when compared [...]
