Where to Find the Best Price on an Elliptical?
By Tim Gorman
Editor's Summary: This short article will help you decide
how much to spend on a good quality elliptical machine. Find out
where you can find the best buy for the best price.
If you are shopping for your own elliptical trainer, chances are
your first question is “Where can I find the best price?” While
you will certainly be able to find an elliptical to fit your budget,
you must do all your research thoroughly before shelling out your
bucks.
According to Consumer Reports magazine, when it comes to ellipticals,
you will get what you pay for. Consumer Reports conducted an evaluation
of ten elliptical exercise trainers from lower end models to more
expensive units. The research test found that the best models are
more expensive, and that if you buy the cheapest models, you might
get stuck with a piece of junk.
That does not mean that you will have to pay top dollar for a quality
machine. In fact, Consumer Reports also tested the Reebok Elliptical
Cross-Trainer 6808 and ranked it #1 over three more expensive models.
And the price is only $500!
Elliptical trainers should provide fluid movements, never jerky.
Also, they should remain stable during your workout and never move
across the floor. When you shop, look for try-before-you-buy opportunities,
or even no-risk trial periods that allow you to use the unit in
your home for a period of time, and if you are not satisfied you
get your money back.
The highest rated model according to several surveys is the Precor
EFX 546 – a model that costs over $5000! But many retailers will
allow you to purchase on credit, offering low monthly payments.
Also, used ellipticals are often as good as new for less than half
the cost.
