Review Of Nautilus Elliptical Trainers
Author: Jim KeselThe Nautilus e2000 and e3000 elliptical trainers were considered in our search for a good quality elliptical trainer. We spent a week looking at various elliptical trainers that would be able to withstand the heavy use by multiple users for periods up to an hour in length.
We interviewed a number of people who own or use Nautilus elliptical trainers to find out the pros and cons of these trainers. We heard lost of complaints about many poor quality and frequent breakdowns. We also heard from people who were very satisfied with their Nautilus elliptical trainers.
The benefits of using an elliptical trainer include low impact on joints, time saving intensive workouts, benefits of a weight bearing exercise and they are great for cross training by combining the benefits of a treadmill and a stepper.
Nautilus e2000 and e3ooo elliptical trainers are premium pieces of exercise equipment. At $2300.00 and $2700.00 respectively they are not cheap but have a 4 star rating for stability, quality of workmanship, durability, service, warranty, electronics, display and programming.
These Nautilus elliptical trainers are designed for regular sustained workouts either at home or in a commercial setting. Both elliptical trainers have fairly smooth operation and quiet operation.
Nautilus elliptical trainers are equipped with wireless heart rate control, touch heart rate monitor on the moveable handlebars, (5) window LED console, articulating foot pedals and reverse resistance. All of which make using the Nautilus elliptical trainer more enjoyable use.
The Nautilus e3000 elliptical trainer is very similar to the e2000 model, except it has a self-generating electromagnetic resistance system, which requires no batteries or power cords, allowing you to place the machine in any location. We found this to be a real plus allowing the elliptical trainer to be place in the middle of room with out the risk of a cord tripping someone. It comes with 20 resistance levels rather then 16.
Over all we found that the e-line of Nautilus elliptical trainers to be a good piece of fitness equipment for the home use where it used intensively and in some commercial applications. Even though the durability is rated good we would suggest getting the buyer purchase the extended warranty. It is strongly recommended that perspective buyers take the time to thourghly test any machine prior to purchase.
