The Word on the Street

UPDATE: As of 2016, the 810E elliptical is no longer available.  You can check out all of the latest ProForm reviews here.

Many reviewers have found that this simple machine made by ProForm gives the buyer a great experience. The ProForm 810 E elliptical is a low budget machine priced in the region of $900 which is a great price for beginners who want an uncomplicated trainer that does what it says.

The adjustable incline is a great feature that you don’t get on many higher priced ellipticals. The small display is not the trainers’ best feature but many people praise it for its clear functioning and it suits many users who do not want to be distracted by technology.

The 24 lb. flywheel gives a good amount of resistance for users of a range of abilities.

Our Thoughts

As a budget trainer the ProForm 810 E elliptical really is about as good as you are going to get. You cannot ask for much more for less than $1000 and the adjustable incline is a great feature for a low budget machine.

The small display is the only thing that in our opinion could be improved because when spending money on a home machine you may want something a bit more upmarket.

Keep in mind that IFIT® requires a subscription that not everyone will want to pay. But all in all for a home workout machine this is a great choice.
