About SOLE Fitness Elliptical Exercise Machines
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
78% praised the adjustability, while 22% found it complicated
I do not find the stride adjustment useful and would rather have the incline adjustment feature.
I can work out on the elliptical training machine for 60 to 90 minutes, but it lacks some adjustment options for a perfect fit.
I am having another problem with the resistance adjustment part which was replaced two months ago.
77% liked the informative display, while 23% encountered issues
There are lips to hold your book or tablet over the display, and another for your phone or tablet above the display.
The digital display died quickly and the LCD numbers were illegible. The fan and stereo speaker in the console were cheap and did not work well.
82% liked the quiet operation, but 18% found it noisy
I was told by the manufacturer that the elliptical is meant for endurance workouts and not speed, which causes the noise when going too fast.
The speakers have poor sound quality.
Each revolution produces 2 loud clanking noises that seem to come from the fly wheel.
78% appreciated the resistance levels, but 22% desired more
I compared the resistance level of this elliptical training machine with Nordic Tracks and found it to be very low. Nordic tracks 26 resistance level is no joke and it works hard. Based on my experience, I can say that.
I complained about the resistance level of the elliptical training machine even after calling customer service. They informed me that the 2013 models have 2 less magnets, so nothing can be done about the resistance.
I couldn't feel any resistance until I cranked it up and there was no difference between level 1 and 10.
On none of the segments of my workout can I decrease the resistance level below the program level.
78% appreciated the high weight capacity, but 22% found it limited
The machine weighs just under 300 lbs.
It's difficult to imagine how someone older or less fit could manage this elliptical training machine, especially since it weighs about 300lbs.
