Best Ellipticals

The best elliptical machine for you depends on how you plan on using it plus your budget. For a single occasional user at home you do not need to spend as much money compared to when a machine will be in use daily perhaps by several people. For multiple users we always recommend spending a bit more to make sure you get a quality piece of equipment that can take the abuse. If you are limited in the space you have, look for a model with a smaller footprint. Take a look below for our picks from different price ranges and categories then click on the model for our review and to find the lowest price if you would like to buy it.

Best Elliptical with a Compact Footprint

Many ellipticals are over six feet long and nearly three feet wide. That is just too large for many homes. So for those of you with less space to work with you can consider models with a smaller footprint. Just be aware that the active footprint normally expands when the machine is in use – in other words the arms and legs typically extend beyond the base of the unit.

Others to consider include: True M50, True M30, NordicTrack A.C.T. Commercial 10, NordicTrack A.C.T. Commercial 7, NordicTrack A.C.T. Commercial, NordicTrack FreeStride Trainer FS7i, NordicTrack FreeStride Trainer FS5i.

Best Folding Elliptical

Very few ellipticals fold up to save space. However, that can be a very important trait for those of you who do not have a lot of space. For this list we simply ranked the best folding ellipticals regardless of price.

So for our list of the top 5 best cheap ellipticals we chose models from different price points all under $1000. Buyers should be aware that as costs goes down, so does quality. Therefore we really don’t recommend any ellipticals that cost less than about $300.
