Granted you are looking for a good machine at a good price but you must be careful that you are not penny wise and pound foolish when making a decision to purchase.

How you are going to use your elliptical machine is a very important consideration. If you weigh less that 150 lbs and plan to use your elliptical machine for 20 minutes three or less days a week then you have more options and choices. If you are on the heavy side and do an intense workout of 30 minutes or more on more than 3 days a week your options are considerably less.
