You can call the Eclipse 1100 HR/A Elliptical Trainer a budget elliptical machine, but it goes beyond what you’d expect from any cheap quality budget elliptical trainer, at least from the catalog view.

The Eclipse 1100HR Elliptical is sturdy and when you use it has a smooth and quiet performance, and it doesn’t move from side to side like other budget trainers that give you the feeling they are about to fall.

It has 10 preset programs and 2 heart rate control programs, a clear and easy to read LCD display and offers reversed motion stride, a water bottle holder and built in wheels that make it easy to move around the house or gym.

Convenient and easy on the budget

You go over the features of the Eclipse 1100HR Elliptical  and it looks pretty good for the price tag they have. That is true only if you look over it on a catalog, because once you try it you will notice how little is the stride length and if you are over 5’7’’, then it is almost impossible to have a comfortable workout on this machine.

Otherwise, this is a great elliptical trainer with great features. One amazing feature is the patented orbital linkage system that allows you to opt for reversed motion while working out on the Eclipse 1100HR Elliptical. This increases dramatically the options of exercises and the way you can work your muscles.

On the plus side it is durable, while lightweight and built with good quality materials. The LCD screen will display all important information and give immediate feedback on speed, time, distance, calories burned and heart pulse.

Other convenient features are a floor leveler, water bottle holder, reading rack and built in wheels so that it is easy to use and easier to store away.

Overall, you will find it that it just isn’t worth the money you save on the Eclipse 1100HR Elliptical if whenever you try to use it the stride size will give you a feeling that you are jumping more than running or walking. That’s what puts off all deals for the Eclipse 1100HR Elliptical, the tiny stride length.
