About this item
- Awarded "Best Elliptical" even when classified in the above $2000 price category. "At $1999, the E95 is a tremendous value."
- The ramp angle is fully adjustable from 0 to 20 levels of incline, allowing you to individually target and work all major lower body muscle groups, as well as handlebars for upper body exercise for a total body workout. Stationary handlebars with built-in pulse sensors for monitoring your heart rate. A heart rate chest strap is also included for hands-free pulse monitoring and heart rate interactive programs.
- It also includes oversized foot pedals with durable foam cushioning, allowing for additional comfort during workouts. The unique foot pedals were designed with a 2-degree inward slope to each pedal. This slight adjustment helps to reduce ankle and knee stress common in other elliptical machines. This collaboration also produced a revolutionary foot pedal angle adjustment not found on any other elliptical at any price.
- Not everyone walks the same way, so we made the E95 pedals adjustable to fit the way you walk. This adjustment is made using a dial called a "worm drive," which allows you to dial in exactly where you want the pedal to be angled. This feature also reduces numb toe effects and sore Achilles tendons, common occurrences on other elliptical machines.
- IMPORTANT DELIVERY DETAILS - Please make sure to update your contact information and preferences so that we can reach you to schedule the delivery. Otherwise, your shipment may be subject to delivery without an appointment.
- The E95 now includes an integrated tablet holder so you can use your smart devices to watch shows or follow workout routines. Also included is a USB port for charging and Bluetooth Audio Speakers so you can listen to music.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
1st- delivery was wonderful. The guys even brought it down my snow covered driveway into my entryway. Any complaints on delivery is solely due to the third party delivery company. The box had damage, but I trusted the large sticker on the side of the box that said don’t be worried about box damage, everything is packaged well. And it was. No damage to any part of the machine.
2nd- Assembly. I knew by reading all the reviews that it might not be easy to assemble it. It actually wasn’t that hard. The instructions aren’t great, but all tools needed are supplied and they separate the nuts, bolts, and screws by steps so that makes it easier. There are some tighter areas you have to work in but nothing too difficult. I’m a DIY girl, but never use bolts and wrenches but this wasn’t hard. Attaching the screen wires was a little difficult due to the zip ties holding the other side, but I snipped that and wrapped a washer around the end on that side of the wire. It prevented the wire from being pulled through, and gave me the extra length to attached the screen.
As for the instructions, there are pictures of every item (that is separated by step as mentioned) and then are numbered how they are assembled. It’s mainly the order of washers, nuts and bolts. Nothing too hard to figure out. Not step by step big pictures with words, but NOT HARD.
3- I left the plastic cover parts off my machine at first to be able to make sure I don’t need to tighten any connections or use the PROVIDED “LUBE” to help stop or prevent any noises. Of course a machine like this will settle in place and need some adjusting after it’s been used a couple times. If something is loose, I’ll tighten it. If it squeaks, I’ll fix it but it is to be expected on a machine like this. Door hinges need “lube” sometimes to not squeak and screws need to be tightened.
4-Use. It works great. Smooth, the stride length of 20” is great for me. I love the power incline and resistance buttons on the screen and handles. It’s a great workout with any of the programs.
5- No app subscription required. This was probably my main reason for going with this elliptical. I researched numerous options and was completely annoyed with the machines that require a $30-40 a month subscription to use the machine. After spending $$$$ on a machine, those companies then get you for $300-500 a year for the app. No thanks. The Sole doesn’t require anything-not even WiFi, and has programmed workouts that are great. It reminds me of a typical gym elliptical that you just get on and work out.
6- I will say the screen is a little old looking. My 7 year old daughter said it looks like my grandmas old tv😂. It is nothing special and definitely not up to par with any technology these days looks wise, BUT I DONT CARE. I’m actually here for it. I want simple and no fuss. I have a tv in the room so I can watch that if I want, it holds an iPad or phone so I don’t need a high tech screen. Most importantly, the machine works great with grandmas technology.
7- HANDS DOWN, best decision to go with this machine. I chose the E25 over E35 because it’s 11” shorter. I think any of the 2020 models would be more than sufficient for any home gym. And are a killer price compared to other machines. No wonder these machines were rated Top elliptical under $1200…. And they are way less than that now.
GREAT BUY, GREAT MACHINE.
Do follow the markings on the box; if necessary, have the shippers help you get the box correct side up, so that you can slice around the bottom of it with a box cutter and lift the box up and off. That box makes a perfect storage container for all the packing materials inside, and if you just cut it open and tear it up, you lose that option.
I've had the machine for over a month now, and have used it almost every day (most times twice a day.)
PROS:
**Assembly was rather straightforward. There were a couple of issues, but if you've put together other bulky items, this won't be a challenge, just time consuming. As my wife mentioned, this was the first time she can remember me putting together anything and NOT cussing a blue streak while doing so.
**Mostly quiet operation. Most of the time, there's little to no noise when in use. Exceptions noted later.
**Solid construction. I was a bit leery, again after my wife's bike, due to cheapness of flimsy materials. I was happy to see that there are no easily broken parts.
**Consistency of operation. I've been logging my workouts, and have yet to see any wild fluctuations. I only run on Manual mode, so I can't give any advice concerning the other modes, but there is a noticeable gradiation in the resistance levels, but not too much of a jump from one step to the next.
CONS:
**About two weeks into use, the right foot platform developed a squeak. I have yet to isolate the source; I've loosened and re-tightened the bolts and checked everything out. It appears to be about halfway back, and is simply a flex point. A week later, the left foot platform had the same issue. The noise comes and goes, and at this point, is noticeable at the start of each exercise but goes away after about five minutes or so.
**Almost immediately, the left foot platform was noticed to be slightly wobbly. Instead of only rotating as one expects it to, it also will occasionally slip laterally. If it happens at all, it only happens once or twice during a workout, and usually in high (for me at least) RPMs (upper 70s-lower 80s), then goes back to the way it should be. It does not feel loose when I'm checking the machine out, so I'm not sure what the issue is or how to fix it.
**A single lap appears to be 1/3 mile, not 1/4 mile like I'm used to on other machines. Not necessarily a con, but something that I wasn't expecting.
**The machine's starting level 1 resistance is much tighter than I was expecting it to be. I'm now doing workouts ranging from 9-11 resistance level, but the first week or so I was stuck around level 3, and there didn't appear to be very much difference between levels. I'm thinking it just had to be loosened by activity, and since then the levels have come out to a reasonable level...just don't expect level 1 on this thing brand new to be anything as easy as level 1 on a gym's elliptical in use by hundreds of people.
**Probably the biggest drawback for me is the lack of heart rate monitors on the moving handles. They are there and work fine on the stationary handles, but ideally I'd never touch those in a workout. They do include a remote chest monitor, with instructions on use; I haven't used it yet and probably won't.
Overall, I'd probably give this somewhere around an 88-90%. I specifically bought this after reading reviews on this as well as other similarly and cheaper priced ellipticals, and I would say that if you can afford the extra couple hundred bucks, go for this one if you're searching in the $1,000 price range.
Top reviews from other countries
My only complain is tha I have to wait for about a month before I can use it due to shipping defects. The support was excellent as they sent in a tech to fix the problem but unfortunately he has to come back twice becuase of the wrong parts sent. It was vey inconveneience for me as I have to go out to the gym after work instead of my regular exercise at home.
The calorie counter stops at 999 then goes back to 0 instead of 1000. In 2020 having a digital counter go back to 0 after 999 is a big joke. The fan is useless; who wants a small gust of (often dusty) air blown in their face while working out? The speakers are useless; who wants cheap sound blasted in their face while working out? The Bluetooth connection is unsecured so neighbors can access it. So it's also useless.
The e35 doesn't connect to any smartwatch unless the smartwatch is transmitting un-encrypted data (so no Garmin, Apple, Polar, etc. - maybe some cheap basic watch could connect but who owns those). My email to tech support was never answered and I had to escalate to the US support team for the Canada group to contact me.
The sync app is trash. Look it up on Google play people literally hate it. Disconnects and crashes multiple times each workout do not install it! The heart rate monitor seems to work well but make sure it's wet before wearing it or else no heartbeat detected. Also the heartbeat detector gets confused if you have anything tapping on it while working out (like a shirt or a headphone cable).
All in all, I am baffled why such a great machine would suffer from such poor software integration. Everything about the "added value features" is weak, badly designed or useless. The machine itself is phenomenal. I workout at 6am with my downstairs neighbor never the wiser as it is so silent. I would probably buy it again but be aware of it's horrendous gimmicks and only get it for the machine and the workouts it can dish out. They should sell a cheaper version with none of these frustrating features.
On the physical side, I find the three adjustments the pedals offer are not flexible enough for my height (6 feet / 183 cm). I can't really stand up on it and have to tilt forward a bit. It's fine - I workout 60 to 90 minutes on it no problem, but its missing a bit of adjustment options for a true great fit. It also looks great.
The biggest challenge I had is finding a floor stable enough. Regular plywood sub flooring just wasn’t firm enough and the machine would sway too much. I wish the bottom legs were few inches wider for better stability. In the end, I had to move it to my basement to be on concrete floors. No sway and no weird vibrations.
If I had to have it in my bedroom again, I would consider placing it on a 4x8 foot solid 1 inch hard wood plywood or something even firmer.
So, very happy overall.
