Overall Rating for ProForm 6.0 ZE Ellipticals
This is an acceptable cross trainer for lightweight or moderate-weight exercisers on a budget. The warranty isn’t outstanding, but casual exercisers can expect to get a fair amount of exercise from this cross trainer. Just keep in mind that you get what you pay for! A machine that costs twice as much could pay off in the long run.
