The Word on the Street

The Bladez Quantum elliptical features quality components including a durable Poly V drive belt, magnetic resistance, a robotically welded steel frame, and large flywheel.

Other features include a built-in wireless Heart Rate receiver (chest strap not included), an 18" stride length, 16 digital resistance levels, an attractive console, and D-shaped sports grip moving arms.

The Bladez Quantum is a bit more involved to assemble but that is its only downside. Once you have it put together, you will be treated to a quiet, smooth, stable cardio trainer.

There aren’t many reviews on the Bladez Quantum available but if it is made by Bladez, it is going to be a decent machine. Bladez has been around for a number of years and is, in fact, an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for other elliptical brands, which means Bladez makes the machines and other companies put their label on the final products.

The Bladez Corp of Foothill Ranch, CA, was acquired in 2007 and became BH North America, which makes Bladez and BH elliptical trainers close cousins — although they do not share model styles or frames. Just FYI: BH models are front drives and Bladez models are all rear drive ellipticals.
