Comments: As with the E51 we have concerns about the quality of the components
of the Horizon ellipticals, but all things relative, in this price range this
is a good contender. The street price appears to be $699.
If
you plan to use your elliptical trainer for heavy workouts then we suggest you
consider a different brand.
