Compare Prices at NordicTrack
This is such a hot item that it’s one of the company’s best selling models. Consumers like that the 800 model is easy to assemble out of the box, it’s quiet, has lots of great features, and feels very sturdy. The most impressive kudos you’ll learn about the NordicTrack AudioStrider 800 from consumer elliptical reviews is that people are praising their machines after 6 months to 2 years of constant use -- and not the frequent and unhelpful “I’ve had it now two weeks with no problems” type of feedback.
Our Thoughts
At $799, the NordicTrack AudioStrider 800 is a delight. It holds up well for a heavier user, it’s remarkably noiseless, offers stability and a great elliptical stride. The warranty is weak on NordicTrack machines, which is typical, but you can buy some security with an extended warranty, or live dangerously and go without, saving yourself a ton of money. At this price, the NordicTrack AudioStrider 800 elliptical is a very good value.
