ProForm 930 SpaceSaver Elliptical Review

The ProForm 930 SpaceSaver is a foldable cross-trainer that’s best for lighter-weight beginners. As an upgrade to the 925, it features two heart rate control workouts and space for two user-defined programs in addition to personal trainer programs. However, it lacks the 925’s adjustable stride. This unit sometimes retails for almost $800 but has been advertised online for less than $500.

Elliptical Misses: Why to Pass Up the ProForm 930

• Warranty – This machine has a poor warranty: just 90 days on parts and labor plus seven years on the frame.
• Cheap components – This model weighs just under 150 pounds. It has some solid steel components, but other parts are plastic and wear out quickly.

Overall Rating for the ProForm 930 SpaceSaver Elliptical

This machine is an OK buy for beginners when found on sale. A very short warranty and a relatively light workout capacity are its main drawbacks. Some sturdy but compact options that are more durable and capable than the ProForm 930 SpaceSaver include the ProForm 890E, the ProForm 10.0 ZE, and a number of ellipticals by Sole. Additionally, the ProForm 980 stands out for its audio and extensive programming.
