Elliptical at home

Does anyone have an elliptical they purchased to use at home? If so, what brand and model? Looking to possibly purchase one for my apartment, but definitely has to be somewhat quiet and affordable. Thanks

I bought one from walmart. It is not fancy like you use at a gym but it is small and works great. I paid $200 for mine at the time.0

Check out this link, it compares 150+ models from over 30 brands. I got a Schwinn 430 and it is wonderful.0 -

This prob the same one i got. It is okay and serves its purpse though i really would not reccomend it.0 -
i just replaced my old one with a new sole e35. it was a little more expensive, but it is so smooth and really kicks my butt. and it's very quiet.0

I bought a NordicTrack E7 sv Front Drive Elliptical last March at Sears for like $350 and it's been great this year. Between me and my wife it gets used about 8-10 times a week each session about 40 minutes.0

I have the nordictrack E5Vi. It has an adjustable stride which is good considering I'm only 5'2" LOVE It, very quiet, and I thought affordable. I got it at Sears and they matched the cheapest price that I found online. It's fairly streamline which might be good for you living in an apartment. I did quite a bit of research for ellipticals in that price range when I purchased mine about a year ago and this one had the best reviews for the shorter stride that I was looking for. Hope this helps0

Not sure on models as it would depend on how much you want to spend.
They seem to range from $200 to $2,000.
But from the research I have done, the Schwinn brand seems to be the highest rated at a few sites.0 -
I have a Reebok RL 1500. It's quiet, accurate [based on weight input and heart rate w/ monitor and iFit ready], and it is the highest calorie burning elliptical of all the ones I've ever tried. Well, I do my workouts at the highest resistance, but nonetheless, burns a lot in a short period of time.
It is kind of pricey though. I got mine from Costco for about $700 if I remember correctly. It was a while ago.0 -
Yes I have one it's a sportcraft. It's ok, but my next will probably be a precor or schwinn as I use it almost daily. I have also heard to get one with the wheel at the front as they tend to be quieter and better quality.0

Thanks everyone. This gives me a good place to start. I'm open to spending a little money on something thats not going to fall apart in a month.0

I have a Precor like they have at Gold's gym. When I was out shopping for an elliptical all the onesI tried at like Sears and Walmart were all wobbly and just didn't seem very safe. I ended up paying $4500 for mine 4 or 5 years ago and it is solid as a rock.
I really think that old saying about you get what you pay for really does apply to things like this.0
