When you compare elliptical machines, there are so many factors to consider that it can become confusing.

Compare Ellipticals by Price

Because price is an important consideration for most consumers, we’ve divided our elliptical trainer comparison charts into groups by price.

Compare Workout Programs

Each comparison chart lets you know if an elliptical trainer provides an upper body workout or not and what type of programs are included as well as the type of display used. Some workout programs are included in the price of a machine while others may be at an additional cost – the charts let you know which ones are which.

Compare Heart Rate Monitors, User Weight and Stride Length

Heart rate monitors, whether pulse monitors or chest straps and how precise they are, are reviewed in the model reviews. User weight and stride length indicate the total weight limit of the elliptical trainer and the widest stride possible when using the machine. If you’re heavy or extremely tall, these will be features you’ll want to compare.

Comparison of Warranties and Extra Perks

Finally, the chart lets you know about any extra perks that may be included with any of the elliptical trainers we reviewed. This may be anything from discounts on other fitness equipment to additional downloadable workout routines for no extra charge. Warranties are explained in full, including what is and isn’t covered and how good the customer service is when you need to use the warranty.

By providing all of this information, we hope to ensure that you can make an informed elliptical trainer comparison and decide on the machine that’s right for you.
