ProForm 600 SpaceSaver Review

The 600 SpaceSaver is a folding elliptical with several engaging features: iFit workouts, a sound system, and an adjustable stride. But buyer beware: this machine is intended for light use. For a bit more durability, look to the SpaceSaver DX.

Elliptical Hits: What You Get with the 600 SpaceSaver

• Space saving design – This elliptical can be folded vertically for easy storage.

• Workout variety – The 600 SpaceSaver has six cross trainer workouts plus an iFit card reader. With each iFit card, customers get 8 weeks of customized training.

• Adjustable stride – The adjustable stride lets people move from an elliptical movement to a steeper climbing motion.

• Cross training – Movable handlebars help speed up calorie burn and tone the upper body.

• Workout fan – A convenient console fan helps exercisers keep cool.

Elliptical Misses

• Warranty – This machine has a poor warranty: just 90 days on parts and labor plus seven years on the frame.

Overall Rating for the ProForm 600 SpaceSaver Elliptical

ProForm’s 600 SpaceSaver is a lower quality folding elliptical with snazzy extras. It’s packed with features that sound great, but the machine is made of cheap plastic parts. After 90 days, the buyer pays for any replacement parts and labor. A different ProForm model, the SpaceSaver DX, is likely to last longer.

If you need an affordable crosstrainer for more than light and occasional use, consider the Horizon CE6.0 or NordicTrack ellipticals.
