Reviews on the 990 CSE have been among the best in the under-$1000 ProForm line of elliptical trainers. That doesn’t mean it is ProForm’s best value; for that, check out the ProForm 600 ZNE. It costs less than the 990 CSE yet comes with most of the same features. Our ThoughtsAlthough it is listed as new for 2010, the ProForm 990 CSE elliptical trainer is basically the same model as the NordicTrack AudioStrider 990 Pro. Both ProForm and NordicTrack are ICON Fitness products. The 990 CSE is actually one of ProForm’s better models, but at $899, it doesn’t compare in terms of quality, warranty, and the first rate customer service offered by elliptical manufacturers such as Livestrong, Horizon, Sole and Yowza.
