Reasons Why You Should Buy The Proform Smart Strider- If you’re buying a Proform elliptical, this is as affordable as they come The 18 resistance levels and 18 workout programs were more than we had expected for a budget elliptical Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Buy The Proform Smart Strider: Despite Proform’s “built to last” claims, the Smart Strider’s 275 lbs is the lowest we’ve seen for a 2014 elliptical. Generally speaking, the lower the weight capacity, the shoddier the construction quality. Flywheel weight and machine weight are both unknown. For an elliptical with such a short warranty and low weight capacity rating, we are very worried how this machine will hold under heavy use Console screen is tiny and console design is barebones Is This The Right Elliptical For You? Thus far in 2014, we’ve seen Proform come out with two new budget ellipticals. The first one is the ZE6 and the second one is this one, the Smart Strider.

For budget ellipticals, we generally recommend you go with Nordictrack (same parent company as Proform) due to superior specs, features and warranties at more or less the same price. Yes, it’s true that Nordictrack’s budget ellipticals are slightly more expensive than Proform but the difference from specs to design to warranty are noticeable.
