Resistance: 20 Levels
Stride Length: 20 inches
Max. Weight: 400 lbs

The Sole E95 is a tremendous value. The elliptical is not only one of the most dependable, well-built machines on the market but it's also very fairly priced for its feature set and dependability.

The LiveStrong LS 10.0E is a solid choice if you're looking for an elliptical around $1,000. Its feature set and warranty aren't quite as good as the trainers above, but the 10.0E is one of the best models in its price range.
