As you proabably already know if you have been researching at home workout equipment, the various machines are pretty expensive. Elliptical bikes or trainers are no exception. A moderately priced elliptical bike can run you a couple thousand dollars. The Proform XP elliptical trainer is an exception.
The Proform XP retails for around 0. The best ellipticals run several thousand dollars so how does this economic model stack up? The answer is, surprisingly well.
Most customers are happy with it's overall performance. There are some issues with design and functionality, but that is to be expected with a machine as inexpensive as this one is. Several reports with minor malfunctions when the bike is used at low settings, like one or two. The best way to combat this is to use it at higher settings. Several reports that the heart monitor is erratic and can't be trusted to always perform accurately.
Some reports that the pedals broke after a short period of time. Most reports, however, say that the manufacturer fixed the problem. A lot of critics report other, more serious issues, but very few of these are substantiated by consumer reports. Most, we believe, are an attempt by rival brands to discredit this model.
Most positive reports mention good durability, reliable performance and of course, a low price. Overall, reports for this model elliptical are good. Do not expect it to rival a four thousand dollar machine, it is inferior in overall quality. But if you're looking for a reliable, inexpensive workout machine, this one is for you.
