Horizon Elite 2.1 E Elliptical Trainer Review

The Horizon Elite 2.1E is their entry level elliptical trainer. The Elite series is generally sold through fitness specialty stores. The Elite series is very similar to the "E" series. They give their models different names and a few different features. The logic is that the fitness stores have a unique model that is not seriously discounted like the "E" series found in mass merchant stores or online. From what we can tell the only difference with the 2.1E and the Horizon E 5.1 is a slightly better warranty and a different (5) window console.

For the price the 2.1E lacks features that you would find on comparable models. It has a small 16" stride length. There are no programs and it has manual resistance adjustment, but it does come with a handgrip heart rate monitor.

ET Comments: If you are sold on a Horizon you can basically get the same elliptical for a couple of hundred dollars less if you buy the 5.1.

The Horizon Elite 2.1E is built for light to moderate use.
