There are many reviews for many different models of ellipticals online, some good, some bad. Overall it appears that, if you can get use to the unique striding motion of an elliptical, you can get a lot of good use out of it. Of course buying a quality, higher-end machine is key if you want years of service from it.
However, it's obvious from reading some user opinions that the elliptical motion isn't for many people. In fact some people find it extremely uncomfortable. Just another reason to always try out the model you like BEFORE buying an elliptical. The other apparent problem is that some ellipticals don't seem to give a very good workout. Many reviews state that the best options are ones that allow you to change both the intensity and the incline, just as one most treadmills.
So here's the bottom line: if you're looking for a low-impact workout option that will put minimal stress on your back, hips, knees, ankles, and legs you might want to think about buying a good elliptical trainer machine for your home. But it's absolutely vital to try out the model you choose before the purchase. That way you'll know for sure that it's comfortable and fits your personal body type. It's a good idea to look online because you can often find big discounts on elliptical and all other types of exercise equipment!
