Smooth Ce Elliptical Trainer

Pros: SILENT, heavy duty and stable, pre-set programs, not a space hog
Cons: The assembly and computer instructions could have been clearer

I purchased the Smooth CE Eliptical Trainer when my husband and I decided that we wanted something low impact for a cardio workout at home. We first bought the Bowflex Treadclimber TC3000 and ended up sending it back because it seemed cheaply built and ...

Pros: Very competitive price, sturdy construction, easy assembly, smooth operation.
Cons: Somewhat difficult to unpack from it's shipping crate... but that's ALL!

This elliptical trainer from Smooth Fitness is the product that first led me here to epinions.com! I had typed the keywords, "elliptical trainer" into Google.com and found this excellent comparison chart for the top rated models. The only real...

Pros: None - cannot hold a candle to better products at comparable price.
Cons: Very short stride, expensive for the number of features.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but the story of this product makes me very suspicious of the origin ...

Pros: Smooth, stable, quiet
Cons: None really

I had been using a department store elliptical for about 3 months (broke the flywheel axel) and looked at the reviews on this site prior to purchasing the Smooth CE. I have been using this machine for 60-90 minutes per day for about 60 days now, so here...

Pros: Requires little space, great features, good quality, not too costly!
Cons: It's a bit difficult to carry upstairs!

Having been athletic most of my life, working out is a vital part of my daily life! I’ve spent a great deal of money over the years maintaining a membership at a local gym. Then, a few months ago, I decided that it might be more economical to buy...

Pros: For the price, this machine is the best in its class!
Cons: Measures kilojoules instead of calories.

I had the pleasure of coming across all the wonderful reviews of other users here regarding this great machine. I took a chance too, and I am happily surprised. Three months ago, I purchased a Nordic Track CXT 910, which broke under normal usage, due...

Pros: good workout, for now
Cons: NOT sturdy, NOT that easy to assemble, kilojoules (!!), horrible assembly and operating instructions

My experience with the CE is quite the opposite of everyone else's. Take these comments with a grain of salt if you will. I bought the machine solely based on the reviews here and did not compare it to any other machines on the market. Foolish...

Pros: Quiet, compact, easy to use, great motion, plenty of resistance
Cons: For shorter women, feet are *slightly* far apart--takes some getting used to.

We've had our CE about three weeks.

I wanted to wait before writing. So far, we are very pleased and feel confident that this is the best value out there. Others on this list have eloquently spoken about how this machine compares to other,...

Pros: Well-built, inexpensive, provides no-impact and efficient workout
Cons: ear clip electronic heart-rate control, instead of belt type HRC

Hi, everyone! I don’t normally go out of my way to praise the products that I purchase! After all, I expect those products to meet certain standards! However, I am so grateful for the results I’ve received from my Smooth CE Elliptical Trainer that I...

Pros: Sturdy, smooth action, nice display, easy assembly
Cons: Fixed time programs, operating instructions complex, kilojoules instead of calories, no book rack

I have been using Epinions reviews for a while now to help in my purchases and thought it was time to give something back.

I bought this elliptical trainer based on the Epinions reviews, especially Heidi's. I agree with their high praise in...

Pros: Good price, High quality construction, nice features.
Cons: User manual could be better.

I decided on this Elliptical Trainer at least partially on the reputation of company that sells it. I bought a Smooth 5.5 treadmill 5 years ago and between my wife and I we've put thousands of miles on it and are well pleased with it, and the service we ...

Pros: Footprint: small. Price: pretty good. Flywheel gives a very smooth feel when working out.
Cons: Frame design is horrible!!! Unbearable to use unless maintenance is constantly done.

When I bought the Smooth Fitness CE elliptical trainer approximately 3 years ago, there were about 3 reviews here on epinions.com. All of them praised the machine, and touted its "Porsche" engineering, among other things. While the machine was ...

Pros: Affordable, solid, great engineering, smooth, quiet, attractive.
Cons: Stride could be short for taller people. Some screws for the cosmetic parts didn't fit.

I wanted to write this review because all the drastically varying ones on this site are from years ago (though I see there's a new 2007 one now!), and it confused me in my decision to buy one. Well, I did buy one, and I have owned the CE 2.1 for 3 ...

Pros: Sturdy,Quiet, Stable Smooth and built to last. On time delivery, great customer service.
Cons: My 2 daughters used to go to the gym now they use my elliptical

Sturdy, Stable, Smooth and Quiet are under statements. This machine is built better than anything on the market at any price. I've tried them all, starting with the department stores, the larger Sporting Good chains and finally our local Fitness ...

Pros: Great construction, smooth operation,free shipping, excellent support (so far)
Cons: Takes up big space (worthwhile though) Manual is slightly cryptic.

This product was received yesterday (3/5/07) and we assembled it in about an hour with no major errors. As usual, reading and understanding the assembly instructions are always the most critical aspect of assembling something with more than 2 parts. We ...
