Sole E95 Elliptical Trainer Review
Sole E95 Elliptical Trainer Review
So, looking for a workout machine that will give you the best possible quality, but sill offer the affordable price of a lower-end machine? Well, it seems that SOLE may have provided it. The E95 leads the SOLE pack as the best elliptical they offer. However, it is SO good, in fact, that it has actually been called the best buy, in every sense of the word. Is this true? Maybe. It is definitely believable. SOLE has delivered a machine that sports an electronic console, packed with all the features you have come to expect from the SOLE line, and even some little “extras” that only sweeten the deal for the E95. What can you expect? Well, how about a vibrant LED panel, the kind of readout base that is used on most club machinery! Also, the console features built in speakers, and even an mp3/ipod dock for listening to your music while you workout.
One thing that you will likely instantly realize about the E95 is how silent it is. It is literally whisper quiet, and it also offers plenty of resistance via the 29lb flywheel and the high gear ratio. It also features a power incline, so that you can adjust the angle for maximum efficiency.
Want to know what to expect for features on the E95? Well, the features include: a 20 inch stride length; cushioned footpads; eddy current braking resistance; 20 levels of resistance; standard 110 power for ease of placement; an upper body routine; a molded handgrip; HGP; a telemetry belt; HR control and autopilot; a 20 character message window; and HR percentage Graph; a high quality track; 10 programs, including 6 standard ones; 2 user heart rate programs; installed fans; an installed water bottle holder; a plastic shroud on the rear rails; a weight of 215 lbs; and a weight capacity of 400 lbs.
So, the E95 is designed to be a monster as far as elliptical machines go. Well built, relatively inexpensive, sturdy, strong, and guaranteed with the standard SOLE warranty, which included a lifetime warranty on the frame, a 5 year parts/electronics warranty, and even a 2 year in-home service warranty! So, does the E95 live up to the SOLE hype? Well, yes. It is what they say it is, at least, that is what the customers say. Although there are some minor disgruntlements, like the fact that the E95 only has 6 standard workout programs, you do need to take into consideration that not only does this system cost less than similar systems, but the 6 programs that it does come with work great. So, it is really about what matters more to you. Will you like this machine? Yes. Will you regret buying it? No, not if you use it. Should you consider a more expensive brand? Not if you want to throw away money needlessly, as the E95 will suffice perfectly. So, is there a reason you should not buy this elliptical? Not really. You pretty much get what you see, a great workout machine at a cost-effective price.
