Sole E25 Elliptical Review

The Sole E25 elliptical sees substantial updates for its 2009 model including a new console as well as the addition of a manual incline feature. Considered a best elliptical under $1,000 by almost all reviewers.

A pretty machine in addition to being a highly functional one, the E25 is the entry model in a line that is known for great warranties, great functionality and good value. The Sole elliptical line compares well to more expensive lines like precor and do so at a fraction of the cost.

There is a simple rule with ellipticals…the heavier the fly wheel the smoother the motion.

With the heaviest fly wheel of any machine available for under $1000, 26 pounds, the E25 is one of the smoothest treadmills in its price range.

The 2009 model also has the only incline adjustment feature in its price range, which allows the user to focus the workout on different muscle sets.

Add in 3 pin adjustable pedals and you have a fairly loaded elliptical that is affordable enough to make it an option for most any home.

Improved Through Redesign

The 2008 model of the E25 had a sleek console with easy to read back-lit LCD which added a touch of style to a highly function focused machine.

The 2009 model improves on the previous LCD, continues to be called stylish and updates a number of other features that were already good, making them great.

A heavy fly wheel and smooth operation are paramount to a quality experience on an elliptical. The E25 is noted as a smooth machine with a continuous motion that feels natural and not at all contrived. The 26 pound fly wheel helps to correct jerkiness which users can add to their workout, making using the the E25 far more enjoyable.

In addition to being known as an exceptionally smooth machine, the E25 is also remarkably quiet. Its quiet, easy operation make it a favorite of daily users and those who use it only once a week. One customer had this to say:

“This Machine is quiet, works great, and was easy to put together. I have it in my living room and use it all the time.”

The negatives of this machine are issues mostly created as a result of comparison to Sole’s other machines. In comparison to the 5 year warranty of the other ellipticals in Sole’s lineup, the warranty is short, but in reality the 3 year parts and electronics warranty is better than many other machines at the same price.

Entry Into A Great Line

Sole’s elliptical line, like all its fitness lines, is amazingly strong and backed up by some of the best warranties available within their price range.

The E25, although the entry model in Sole’s line of quality ellipticals, does not serve as a dumbed down version of the other machines in its line. A stand out in its own right the E25 is considered a best buy and a unique machine in the under $1000 price category.

Long known as a quality manufacturer, the Sole E25 Elliptical (2009 model)  not only gives a lot of firsts, but also gives consumers a quality experience independent of its unique features. Worthy of its place in so many home gyms throughout the country.
