This is an expensive machine, but you do get quality. This sole trainer was bought as a replacement to an old and not very good cross trainer. I hated the old one because it was jerky, manual resistance, and felt like a home quality machine. The Sole E95 is just the opposite. As smooth and strong as any I've used in a 'professional' gym, and silent too. Everything about it screams quality. I was also worried about not having enough levels, but the resistance is plenty for me when I'm only half way up the available levels, so I have no doubt that even in many months to come with even better fitness there will be plenty left. As a bonus it came with a heart rate monitor so you can choose either the ones built in on the handles or the strap. Not so good: yes the fan is useless, but I didn't decide on the E95 based on accessories. Its a gimmick, and therefore of little consequence to me. It was also quite complex to assemble. I debated buying cheaper, but I have no regrets about spending the extra to buy the E95.

My partner and I both use the cross trainer everyday for a 45 minute workout. I usually put a series on the tv and the time flies by. Much easier than going to the gym and the cross trainer itself provides you with a nice workout without putting too much stress on the joints and the action is lovely and smooth. No problems putting it together as it has nice, clear instructions.

Great cross trainer, I use it nearly everyday and its helping me to get fitter. I especially like the variety of different programmes and the fact it has an incline feature and a smooth motion. Contrary to other reviews on here I found this really easy to install.

THis is a really good cross trainer. I've been using it a few times a week to help me lose a few lbs which is working! I enjoy the feeling of using it as it's really similar to that of a gym machine. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I personally found it quite tricky to put together. Took me 2 hours to do so but it was expected if I'm honest. In hindsight I'd recommend going for the optional installation service.

Bought the machine back in August and have been using it regularly 2-3 times a week since then. Have to say that we're really pleased with this purchase. The build quality of this cross trainer is absolutely excellent. I'd say it's pretty much a gym quality machine and feels just as good as the machines in the gym. Only the incline function doesn't feel quite the same as the gym machines but it does still make you workout and it's not something to take away a star for. Compared to the other cross trainers we looked and and tried before choosing this one, this is just stands out a mile ahead of the rest. Overall would have to give this five stars all the way.
