So do we. It's a Livestrong (Damn you, Lance). I really wanted a Sole brand one (the display shows more), but the Livestrong was a bit cheaper around $600 on clearance. Both brands have a few levels of models around $800-1500 and get great reviews (search for elliptical machine reviews online, there's a treadmill site that reviews them all).

PP here, mine is Livestrong too.

Pp here. It was 600 or 700. I see the 430 is now discontinued, but there is likely something similar.

We really like our Schwinn 430. Held up well so far over 3 years. We got it from amazon.

We bought one at Costco for $600 or thereabouts. It's pretty sturdy after a year, and still works great. It's also large, but folds up smaller if need be. I also loved my elliptical at the gym, and this one has exceeded my expectations!

Thanks, 1237. I'm okay with it being relatively large (although not ideal) but the pricetag scares me. $2000 is actually less than I thought you'd say- did you try out ones in this range?

I like the idea of having a machine at home and then variety at the gym, but I haven't ever really cliqued with anything but a elliptical and don't want to shell out money for something I might not love...

i gave up on trying to find one for the house that wasn't $2000 or huge. got a bicycle instead. working for me to vary things...bike at home, elliptical at the gym.

I am accustomed to ellipticals machines at the gym and am considering purchasing one for home use. I'm told it's hard to get a "quality" elliptical machine without spending a lot of money. Is that true? Does anyone have any suggestions - for an elliptical, or otherwise?
