Demanding Users Should Stay Away From Proform Ellipticals
These machines are not built very well, but there are many people who are satisfied with their Proform machine. They do just fine if you are not a serious or regular user. However for daily and vigorous workouts another type of elliptical would be a better choice.
Another drawback with these elliptical machines is that the warranty is very short, 90 days on parts, and 90 days on labor. If you do decide on an elliptical trainer from this brand you should certainly invest in the extended warranty. There are many customer who complain that once the warranty is over, it is very hard to get some help from the company when machine gets broken.
Good looks of all Proform ellipticals hide their quality and faults they have to the consumer. For example, Proform 800 has 6 programs and a cooling fan to help you during a workout. New exercising programs can be downloaded from the net with these machines. The handlebars move to work your upper body and the unit has a heart rate monitor.
These elliptical machines are made by Icon Fitness. Icon Fitness makes fitness equipment for some other companies as well. When these ellipticals were tested in a lab, they were found to have problems on the first use. One of the machines had to be repaired, and the other actually required a brand new part. And another problem that was spotted in the lab was the noise these models make.
Most popular models are Proform 400, Proform 900 and Proform 675. These units are used at home since they have very low price and people think they will save money by doing that. A lot of people complain how there are certain parts that break too often while some of the malfunctions can’t be fixed at all. If you though about buying 900, 400 or 675, you should think twice.
It is highyl recommended to try any elliptical trainer you want to buy, so you can make a good decision based on that test.
