Sole E95 Elliptical Trainer Review

The Sole E95 Elliptical Machine is the best purchase I've made in a long time! 

I started looking for a home eliptical machine about 3 months ago, but I had no idea what brand I wanted.  However, after searching what seemed like every corner of the internet for online opinions and reviews of ellipticals, the Sole brand kept popping up - EVERYWHERE!  It seemed like no one had a bad thing to say about any of the Sole products!  Now I understand why, because this machine is built like a brick you-know-what and was worth every penny. 

There are currently 3 models of the Sole Ellipticals - the E35, the E55 and the E95.  You can't go wrong with any of them.  The E95 is supposedly the 'top of the line', and it does have a few more bells and whistles - padded foot pedals, padded handgrips on the handles, more adjustable foot pedals, etc. It also has a slightly different console with LED readouts.

I won't bore you with what's different about each model - instead, here's a rundown of what ALL the models feature:

• 20 levels of resistance, including pre-programmed workouts - fatburn, hill, strength, cardio, etc.  You can also custom-create two unique user-defined programs.
• Built in fan, water bottle holder and iPod port
• Stationary handlebars with built-in pulse sensors
• Incline and resistance controls built into the handles - just a push of a button!
• 20-inch stride length
• 5-year warranty on parts & electronics
• Lifetime warrantly on frame
• 30-lb. flywheel mechanism
• Whisper-quiet technology - seriously!
• 400-lb. weight capacity - seriously!

You cannot go wrong with this machine.  Sole is the brand used in Hilton Hotels worldwide - they're made for heavy-duty use!  And you WILL get a workout with this machine - you're guaranteed to sweat!  The multiple levels of resistance and incline make this a machine with lots of room for growth.

Yes, you pay more for this machine than you would a standard 'home' style machine, but the cost is worth it.  This is the best $1700 I've spent in a long time... and the shipping was FREE!!!

Bottom line - I would recommend Sole products to anyone, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
