The Horizon Elliptical Trainer
The Horizon Elliptical is an affordably priced elliptical that
comes with a one year warranty. It is considered a good buy for
the money. People who have used it say that the ride is
comfortable because the pedals level on their own.
One of the problems with the Horizon Elliptical is that the
brakes, which are mechanical, break down and really need to be
periodically taken care of. The upper body workout, which you
get with the handlebars in motion, can be difficult and
uncomfortable for shorter people to reach and use.
The Horizon Elliptical doesn't seem to be built as well as other
higher end type ellipticals and may require servicing often.
This machine may not be a really long lasting piece of
equipment, but it's still considered to be worth buying. Because
of the problem with reaching the handlebars on the Horizon
Elliptical, you should really test out a demo in the store to
make sure that you can use it. If you decide to purchase a
Horizon Elliptical it would probably be a good idea to also
purchase an extended warranty.
The Horizon Elliptical will feel different then the elliptical
that you might use in a gym because the flywheel is on the
reverse end of the machine.
The Horizon Elliptical has four different models. They are the
Horizon e51, the Horizon e52, the Horizon e53, and the Horizon
e54hr.The main differences in these models are the extras, like
the heart rate monitors, which are part of the electronic system
of the machine.
