Sole E35 Elliptical (**** Out Of *****)
The Sole E35 elliptical trainer is the great solution for anyone looking for an elliptical trainer to use at home while staying on a tight budget. The Sole E35 is high on many experts’ recommendation lists in the $1000 – $1500 range for good many good reasons, including the length of the warranty.
When an established company puts a long warranty on a product, you know that it’s going to last a lot longer than the warranty period. No company wants to make costly repairs that erode the profit margin.
With this is mind, the Sole E35’s warranty includes a lifetime frame, 5 years of parts and 2 years of labor. Let’s compare this warranty with the Sole E25, another very popular elliptical that sells for $999. The Sole E25 includes a warranty for 3 year of parts and 1 year of labor.
Yet another elliptical, the Schwinn 438 (a best seller on Amazon) sells at $999 and offers 3 years of parts and 1 year of labor. For only $300 more, you’re getting an additional 2 years of parts and 1 year of labor. Still wondering if the price is worth it?
Well consider this, if you look at the Sole E55 and the Sole E95 (two older versions leading up to the E35) both sell for $200 to $400 more than the Sole E35, but they have the same warranty.
This means that in terms of design and construction, the Sole E35 must be close in quality to those more expensive versions. For great quality without spending a ton of cash, the Sole E35 is a better buy than the E25. The E25 may be less money, but by spending a few extra dollars you’ll know that you’re getting a better product and a better warranty; giving you piece of mind that your equipment isn’t going to break down or require costly repairs.
The Sole E35 has a standard power supply at 110 volts, has a stride length of 20 inches and offers 20 levels of resistance using the Eddy Current Braking system. Unfortunately, unlike more expensive versions of the Sole elliptical, the footpads of the E35 are not cushioned.
The Sole E35 allows you to get a full body workout using your upper and lower body. To monitor your workout, you can measure your heart rate using the hand pulse grips and see the rate on the display. You can also monitor your heart rate using a wireless heart strap.
Although this version does not include heart rate control programs, being able to monitor your heart rate via the pulse grips or the wireless heart straps still provides you with valuable information about your workout.
One of the coolest things (literally) about the blue colored console display is that it sits below cool air fans. The console also includes speakers that allow you to plug in your MP3 player and listen to your favorite songs, turning your work out into a fun experience rather than a boring chore.
Bottom Line: A sturdy, well constructed Elliptical Machine which should have a long life span.
