Elliptical.. suggestions?

[nisryus]

We have a treadmill at home and we used it daily for the last 6 years. However, since treadmill is more impact kind of exercise, wife is looking for a less impact system.

I been hearing great thing about Elliptical machine, and even tried a low end version at Academy Sports before the Covid shutdown.

There are some I saw on amazon, and based on reviews they looked good. But its amazon, so i thought i should as here instead. Anyone has recommendation or have one and can tell me your experience?

My wife's choices - based on amazon reviews... are:

I sold elliptical machines for a number of years and I'll tell you that most of the ones you can purchase through normal methods are generally garbage. I would heavily lean towards commercial machines if you plan on using it for more than a couple of years. I would also think about something that is a better workout, such as a rower.

You can generally find commercial machines at used or fitness wholesalers.

Life fitness
Precor
Cybex

Sometimes Costco sells them in slightly stripped down versions.
