The Sole E25 Elliptical Review -- Best Rated Elliptical Under $1000
Ohiyo!
Here at the DOJO I get in a lot of emailing asking me what the best elliptical priced at under $1000 is on the market today. That's always a tough question to answer because my opinion and what I see as the best may not suit everyon. I can just give you what I think is the best from what I've seen and from the units I've repaired, set up or reviewed. But you guys keep asking!
Now, based on my experience of just over 20 years now, if I have to be tied down to a single choice for best elliptical under $1000 then it's going to have to be the Sole E25.
2008 Ichi-Ban Best Buy Award Winner.By whatever name you want to call it, the Sole E25 elliptical is by far the best elliptical in its price range. What you get is the very comfortable 20" stride with Sole's patented 2% inclined pedals (which are a load easier on your feet than a lot of ellipticals -- Tunturi, I'm taking to you!). The Sole E25 gives you the closest feel to a commercial grade piece (such as from Life Fitness or Matrix) at a fantastic price.
Truthfully, the Sole E25 is just a stripped down and shortened version of the Sole E35, but you're really not losing anything important. You've got a few less programs (6 on the E25), but most people only ever use one or two. You've got a shorter footprint, which is a great thing especially since you keep that longer 20" stride that all of the Sole ellipticals feature.
If you're looking for a super heavy duty, high performance elliptical that will stand up to any workout you throw at it and withstand the test of time, you simply can't go wrong with the Sole E25 Elliptical. It easily ranks as the Treadmill Sensei's best buy under $1000.
The Sole E25 Elliptical gets 4.5 out 5 of Golden Buddahs. Excellent!
The Sole E25 Elliptical gets a near perfect score of 4.5 gold buddahs out of 5.

Thank you! I've spent some time trying to determine which elliptical to go with, and your reviews have saved me from either buying a much cheaper product or buying one for the lures of the bells and whistles. This is kind of out of my price range, but seems to make more sense to save up and get this than to get what might amount to nothing more than a big toy at a cheaper price.
Sensei,
Many thanks for your thorough reviews. I could use your assistance. I recently purchased the Spirit ZE120 elliptical and was wondering where the best place is to put it. My basement has 7 foot ceilings- and I am 5 foot 10 inches tall- will I have enough head room, or should I move it to another room with 8 foot ceilings? I have not assembled it and before I unpack it, this information would be useful.
Many, many thanks, and Happy New Year!

I am trying to confirm that the sole e25 and spirit ze120 are the same. The specs are listed as e25 being 72" foot print, and the ze120 with a 63" footprint. The spirit is cheaper, but I don't want to order something that is not what I think it is. Thanks for any help!!
Sensei,
Check out the Fuel F44 only available at Dick's.

It's I heard it either made by the same manufacturer as the Sole. It does look and ride like the E25 & E35. I rode three Soles and the Spirit XE-200 and the Fuel appears to be on par. The warrant is not as good - 1yr parts and labor, but for $699 is appears to be a good value. You can shoot me an email in 1 month and I will give you an update.
Thanks a zillion!!! Your absolutely on about the Sole E25. I'm gone through 3 sub 1k models and have had each under 1 year. The Sole is going strong still. Thanks for all the advice!
