Treadmill Doctor researches and rates treadmills and elliptical trainers. Here is our list of the 5 worst and why they are the worst in the market today.
1.????Weslo G 3.8
An absolute horror of an elliptical and why wouldn?t it be? A $ 200 elliptical is simply an unobtainable exercise in futility. From the shuffling 12? stride length to the overall shoddy quality, the Weslo G 3.8 screams at you that you should spend your money on a gym membership instead!
2.????Schwinn 420
Using a console that would battle the Weslo G 3.8 for technological superiority, Schwinn really outdid themselves on this one. Did they see the Proform 600 ZNE. Same $ 799 MSRP but the Proform can interact with iFit Live! Also, the Proform is far ahead in terms of quality for the same list price. Can?t believe we would recommend a Proform over a Schwinn, but there- you have it!
3.????Proform ZE 3
Proform doesn?t do everything right and the ZE 3 is a shining example of how not to build an elliptical. The primary problem is they are trying to hit a $ 400 price point and the 90 day parts and labor warranty is just a reflection on the quality they are putting into it. If you buy a ZE 3, bookmark our site and we?ll love to sell you parts.
4.????Weslo CT 3.0
Another $ 200 elliptical from Weslo as if one model at $ 200 was not enough! I guess even among the horrible choices that we have in the consumer world, we also need multiple choices to make a BIG mistake. If $ 200 is your budget, spend it on a health club membership, not on this junk!
5.????BH XS1
While not a bad elliptical, for the price they are trying to charge, it is nearly criminal unless you can get a HUGE discount. Have they seen what Sole is putting on the market for less than $ 1000? At MSRP, I would buy a Sole any day of the week over a BH. Apparently they had their collective heads stuck in the sand when they priced this one or maybe they used the monkey that was dartboarding their treadmill pricing.
