While there are a lot of Sole e35 elliptical reviews out on the internet, many of them only talk about its strong points and neglect to mention its weaknesses. A good review can be hard to find and will not only discuss a product's strong points, but also its weak points. Therefore, I will not only discuss the strengths of the Sole e35 elliptical but also its weaknesses.
One of the major strong points of this elliptical is its build quality, considering its relatively low price compared to other ellipticals with similar build quality. In addition to being very sturdy, it also runs very smoothly and quietly. One of the main reasons it runs so smoothly is because of its 25 pound flywheel and high gear ratio. It won't rock or shake while you are using it so you can listen to music or watch TV without being distracted by the noise made by the machine.
The Sole e35 elliptical also comes with an great warranty for the price you pay for the machine. A lifetime warranty is offered by the company on the frame, as well as 5 years for any parts and electronic components, and 2 years for labor.
Many of the complaints about the Sole e35 from people have come from some of the extra features it comes with. The elliptical comes with a pair of iPod speakers as well as a cooling fan, which are both rather weak. The speakers aren't very impressive compared to the sound you can get headphones and the fan won't produce any considerable cooling effect. As a result, you may as well just listen to iPod with headphones and have a separate fan in the room instead. Also, while it comes with two ways for you to measure your heart rate, only the chest strap seems to be worth using. The sensors built into the hand bars may display inaccurate results due to the fact that your hands are moving around.
As you can see, while many Sole e35 elliptical reviews may mention how great its build quality is and how it runs smoothly, they may not mention the fact that some of the features are a bit gimmicky. However, even though there are a few issues with this machine, it is still very good value for what you pay. If you are considering purchasing an elliptical, this one should be one of the ones you consider getting.
