Overall Rating for ProForm 1100E Ellipticals
This is a fine cross trainer for exercisers on a budget. The incline is a unique feature. However, without paying extra for the iFit Live, customers might find a machine that offers better value. This machine would be more highly rated if it had a longer warranty.
