Smooth CE 3.0DS Elliptical TrainerSmooth elliptical machine

Price: $1,000

Bottom Line: The CE-3.0DS From Smooth Fitness is a great compact, lightweight Elliptical. If you are short on space or want to be able to easily move your machine, this is a great buy. Smooth is known for it's quality and this is no exception. The ability to convert to a stepper is a nice touch also.

Thoughts: We've always been impressed with the quality and value of Smooth Fitness Elliptical Trainers, and the CE 3.0DS was no exception. It's the least expensive elliptical Smooth currently offers, and it's also the smallest and lightest. The small footprint is great for space limited users, but does hurt stability just a bit. The unit is smooth and easy to use, and the ability to change to a stepper is a nice touch and something we haven't seen on many ellipticals.
