Going shopping for an elliptical today.....

[Tripper11]

Excricise bikes, recumbant or toherwise are extemely uncomfortable. I don't like treadmills and the times I have used ellipticals I have the found the workout to be truly amazing.
I began looking yesterday and found a decent one for around $400. It was a compact unit, smooth and had a ton of options I was looking for. The only downside, the stride was relatively short & shallow. I think it would serve its purpose, but if we are going to buy something for a fair amount of use etc, I want to get something we will be truly happy with.

So...to the wonderful excercise guru's here in this forum I ask...for around $700 max, would anyone have any suggestions as to a decent home machine to buy?


This is almost same design as the one I saw yesterday.
