So I am in the market for an elliptical and I was wondering if there was anyone out there who had recommendations about good makes and models or any ones to avoid? I am planning on buy a second hand one off craigs list and will of course examine it thoroughly before purchase. Any advice is much appreciated.

In my experience, you get what you pay for. Most home models are pretty chincy. I bought one a few years back and regretted it soon after. They tend to be a bit wobbly and they almost alway squeak like crazy no matter how hard you try to lube it up. I would definately give it a good test run before committing the money. Look for a quality gym model. It's totally worth the extra $$.0

I was able to get a Precor EFX elliptical from Craigslist. I love it. The guy who posted it on Craigslist actually put it up for consignment at a local store, so I was able to purchase it without any issues.0

I have the Golds Gym model that I bought at Walmart about 3 years ago. I love it and it still works beautifully!0

I bought a Pro-form 14.0 CE from their website after purchasing a Pro-form treadmill from my local fitness store. I LOVE both machines. Both are very well made and were reasonably priced. Craigslist is always buyer beware and I think it will be well worth the cost to buy a new machine.
Happy hunting!!0 -
I have a Precor, and I love it. I've had it over 5 years and no problems at all. The only downside is the price. But it really is a well made machine.0
