Horizon CSE 3.5 Elliptical Trainer Review

in shopping for an elliptical machine, we had trouble finding a machine with a stride that would work for both my husband (5'11") and me (5'4"). the horizon elliptical machine works for both of us. it's a sturdy machine that provides a great workout.

after several months, one of the wheels fell apart. we called horizon, and they shipped us a new pair of wheels with no difficulty. the fan on the control panel intermittently goes out. this was not, however, a huge loss as it doesn't provide much breeze anyway.

the control panel has a good variety of workouts and levels. it also has the ability to store a workout calendar, which provides you with a different pre-programmed workout for several weeks.

we both prefer the elliptical machine over other machines because of its low impact workout.

we've now had this particular model for about 2 years. we haven't had another problem with the wheels since the initial issue. aside from this issue and the fan going out occasionally, we've had no other problems. the machine isn't really showing any signs of wear. we use it fairly frequently - both of us use the machine at least 3 times a week - we've been using it at this pace for about 2 years. i would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality, durable machine with a good variety of workouts available.
