A few downsides discovered in our review of the NordicTrack Elite 16.9 elliptical:
- Expensive
- Limited warranty on parts and labor
The Bottom Line
The warranty on this machine is fairly strong – a lifetime guarantee on frame plus 6 years on parts, 3 years on labor – not a bad deal considering all the great perks that come with this cutting-edge elliptical. The user weight capacity of 375lb is also very reasonable.
One touch controls, including incline adjustment, really set the Elite 16.9 apart from the crowd. You can also adjust the stride length from 20-21 inches automatically as you increase the ramp. 26 different digital resistance levels bring a challenge to even the most advanced elliptical users, which allows the whole family to truly enjoy this addition to your personal home gym.
For those who are conscientious about their health and would like to place safety ahead of vanity, the included wireless chest strap provides very accurate readings – more so than the hand grip readers found on lower-end models.
Perhaps best of all, you can trust fully in the NordicTrack name. This is a fitness company that has been around for decades, and their machines have only seemed to improve with time. While they are sure to include standard creature comforts like a cooling fan and water bottle holder on all their models, the 16.9 truly goes above and beyond the personal elliptical norm. You will see, hear and feel the difference as you commit to daily workouts.
