made an impulse buy.
Nordictrack E7.1 Elliptical
https://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00623697000P

$799.99-$100 (coupons) and then 7% Cashback = $650.99

I put it on layaway so my husband *hopefully* doesn't flip out :o its kind of more than we (-cough- he) wanted to spend, but it has such positive reviews and it seems kind of awesome :\

Does anyone have any experience with Nordictrack?

    No experience with them, no, but it looks decent. I bought myself a cheap one not too long ago for £190 and it does work, but it creaks all the time and is pretty flimsy!
    Looks like the one you purchased is sturdy and, in my opinion, paying a little bit more for a piece of equipment that will help change your life is not a bad thing!

    Well that's a little encouraging. I'm already having buyers remorse :o

    I have a Nordic Track Elliptical.Mine's not quite this same model, but very similar. I paid about $1000 I love it. Its sturdy, quiet and works well. I need to get on it more often, but that's another story. I don't know if Sears told you, but they will not assemble it. My hubby said it was easy to put together though. Have fun!

    Thank you for posting about your experience with your elliptical. I'm having a little buyers remorse, but i should feel happy. I was excited and nervous after I submitted the order. I told my husband about it this morning, he said he's not mad but well, I don't know :\

    No, but I have an elliptical, and even though I only use it maybe once a week (I mix it up with videos), I LOVE it. We got mine off Craig's List for $500 or so, and it's a gym quality, incredible piece of machinery. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the purchase, so long as you use it. :)

    I would say if you spent much less than that, you would end up with a piece of crap in your house that you would never use. My first elliptical was $250. After three days, it was AWFUL. Loud, the display didn't work ...

    I sold it to a friend for $50 because she said she didn't care about that stuff and bought myself a $700 (on sale) ProForm that I've have for years and it still works great. If you're going to use it, it will be worth it. Enjoy!
