The
Smooth CE is a solid performing machine with an excellent service track record.
Smooth has been selling this particular model for several years. The
large 48 lbs. flywheel provides a very smooth elliptical motion. It has handgrip
sensors on the moveable handlebars, which allow you to monitor your heart or control
your workout through the heart rate control. For people who enjoy the heart rate
control feature but not the wireless chest strap, this is a great alternative.

Review: You won't find a bunch of bells and whistles, like many of the Icon Ellipticals.
With the Smooth CE you get a simple, solid machine, built for regular usage. Having
tested the CE we particularly like how quiet they run. If there is any criticism,
the CE may be a bit awkward for individuals that are over 6'3".
With
the Smooth CE elliptical trainer you are not only getting a quality machine, but
you are also getting the Smooth Fitness company to stand behind it. A very important
factor to consider when purchasing any fitness equipment. Smooth ranks with companies
like Precor and LifeFitness in backing up and servicing their equipment. In this
price range the CE stands out as one of the best.
