Though many people seem to like their Proform ellipticals, these machines are found not to be very well built. They do just fine if you are not a serious or regular user. But for high intensity use and high goals, you should look for another brand.
A big weakness of Proform ellipticals is their short warranty, a consumer will get only 90 days on parts and 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.
All models from Proform are made to look quite attractive, but that doesn’t mean they are durable. You get a cooling fan and a 6 interesting workout programs with a Proform 800 elliptical trainer. 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.
Icon Fitness is the manufacturer of these machines. There are several other brands Icon makes elliptical trainers for. When these ellipticals were tested in a lab, they were found to have problems on the first use. First machine had to be repaired and taken care of while the other one needed a new part to be installed. The noise is another issue being found out about in the lab, which is not a very good thing.
Some models you probably heard of are: Proform 900, Proform 675 and Proform 400. Many people bought them and use them in their home, but this is because of the low price they have. There are many complaints on malfunctions that can not be repaired and parts that keep breaking often. Reconsider your purchase of these three models: 400, 675 and 900.
Test out the elliptical trainer you wish to purchase, you can do that in a local store and see is that model the best solution for you.
