I love to find a good deal, don’t you? Going to thrift stores and buying a lamp for $1 or using a coupon I got in the mail gives me a rush of serotonin that not much else will—I just really like saving money.

  • Programming: Do you have options for built-in workouts?

As certified personal trainers, nutrition coaches, and competitive athletes, we know how important it is to get the right equipment.

Best Budget Elliptical Overall: Horizon Fitness EX-59

Good for: Someone looking to get the most out of an elliptical at a reasonable price

Best Budget Elliptical Overall

Horizon EX-59 Elliptical

product image
GGR Score: 4

Product Highlights

  • Elliptical with Bluetooth connectivity
  • 18-inch stride length
  • 14-pound flywheel
  • 10 levels of magnetic resistance 
  • 300-pound max user weight capacity 
  • Has a built-in device holder and USB port 

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Price
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • 18-inch stride length
  • Lifetime frame warranty
  • 5 preset programs
  • Textured foot pedals
  • 10 resistance levels
  • Bluetooth speakers

Cons

  • Lighter flywheel
  • User weight capacity is on the lighter side
  • No touchscreen display
  • 10-inch step-up is high
  • No incline options
  • No flywheel warranty

Bottom Line

The Horizon EX-59 is a budget-friendly elliptical with an 18-inch stride length and five preset programs to choose from. What it lacks in tech capabilities (mostly just the Bluetooth speakers) it makes up for in stability. This elliptical has a locked-down feel for a budget price-point.

Horizon Fitness is an industry leader when it comes to making budget fitness equipment. Up until October 2023, the brand held the top spot on this page with the 7.0 AE, which has been discontinued. After using and testing the Horizon EX-59, our team is confident it is the best budget elliptical for most homeowners.

Priced at around $700, the EX-59 scored 4 or higher in a number of categories from our product tester Lindsay Scheele, the lead reviewer for our YouTube Channel, GGR Everything. She gave the elliptical high marks in durability, portability, ergonomics, conveniences, and overall value.

person using the horizon ex-59

Lindsay personally did one of the four workout programs (weight loss, distance, intervals, and calories) that come standard on the EX-59. She noted that there was no shifting during use, and transitions in resistance were smooth.

When it comes to the extras, the EX-59 offers a decent number of features, especially at this price point. You’ll find built-in speakers, an audio jack for headphones, a USB charging port, three water bottle holders (in case you’re EXTRA thirsty), and a shelf for a media device. The foot pedals are “large enough for people with big feet,” Lindsay says. She found the textured handles extremely comfortable.

Speaking of handles, the EX-59 has both fixed and moving handlebars, which means you can get a full-body workout on this machine.

Despite all this, Lindsay only rated her actual workout experience a 3 out of 5. She says that it’s a very basic machine with basic programming. Yes, it gets the job done, but there isn’t any interactive programming, and essentially “nothing special.”

For example, the display on the EX-59 is quite simple, featuring three LED windows that spit out your workout metrics. There are buttons numbered 1 through 10, each corresponding with a resistance level so you can simply push one button instead of pushing an up or down arrow over and over.

the console of the ex-59

At 145 pounds, the EX-59 is right around where we would expect an elliptical like this to weigh. Super budget ellipticals may drop under 100 pounds, but a machine like this with a motor will typically run you around 150 pounds or more. Lindsay personally propped this machine up on its front transport wheels to move it around our testing facility. “One person can easily move it,” she says.

Best Budget Elliptical With Incline: Sole E25

Good for: A sturdy, stable elliptical that has incline options for intense workouts

Best Budget Elliptical With Incline

Sole E25

product image
GGR Score: 4.2

Product Highlights

  • Budget friendly and under $1,200
  • Lifetime warranty on the frame
  • User capacity of up to 350 pounds
  • Large footprint at 71” H x 70” L x 24” W

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Under $1,200
  • 20 levels of resistance
  • 350-pound weight capacity
  • Heart rate chest strap included
  • High-quality heavy-duty steel frame

Cons

  • Difficult assembly with unclear instructions
  • Heavy at over 212 pounds
  • 20-inch stride length does not adjust

Bottom Line

The SOLE E25 Elliptical provides effective workouts through its use of comfort and natural feel. The quiet front drive system, inward foot pedal design, and heavy duty steel frame all create a smooth, effective workout.

The Sole E25 would have been our top pick on this page if the brand hadn’t increased its price by about $300 over the last few years. This is the most expensive machine on our budget list, as it’s priced around $1,200. However, it’s also the only machine on this list that offers incline, and that’s a feature we think you should consider.

Kate Meier, GGR’s senior director of content, and Lindsay Scheele, lead reviewer on our YouTube channel GGR Everything, both used this machine and attest to its intense workout capabilities. “You can pedal forward and backward on inclines that get pretty steep,” Kate says. Both testers gave this a 4 out of 5 for their overall experience on the machine.

woman riding the sole e25 elliptical

One callout both Kate and Lindsay had is that at this price, you get a significant number of high-end features such as cooling fans and Bluetooth speakers that Kate said “work really well and have a good, clear sound.” There is also a media shelf where a tablet or a phone rests snugly, as well as a USB charging port for your device.

RELATED: Sole F65 Treadmill Review

Kate noticed some shaking and wobbling when she was kicking it into higher speeds on higher inclines, and there are no floor stabilizers on this machine. She deducted half a point and gave it a 4.5 out of 5 for durability because otherwise, the E25 has a 350-pound weight capacity, great construction, and a 20-pound flywheel.

The display on the E25 is basic. At this price range, you might find ellipticals that have touchscreens (for just a few hundred dollars more, the NordicTrack Commercial 9.9 has a 7-inch touchscreen that streams iFIT workouts). However, if that doesn’t matter to you, save money and stick with the Sole.

LCD display on Sole E5

Kate personally assembled the Sole E25 by herself and said it took her more than two hours. She said the instructions aren’t great, and she had an easier time assembling large, complicated machines like the NordicTrack Commercial 1750. You can opt to pay $350 for professional assembly, but Kate feels that’s too expensive unless you aren’t capable of putting the machine together.

Best Elliptical Under $1,000: ProForm Carbon EL

Good for: People who want an affordable treadmill that has streaming workouts

Best for Under $1,000

ProForm Carbon EL Elliptical

product image
GGR Score: 3.8

Product Highlights

  • 18 levels of silent magnetic resistance 
  • 0 to 20 degrees of manually adjustable incline 
  • 5” high-contrast multi-color display 
  • Tablet holder 
  • iFIT-compatible with SmartAdjust technology 
  • Steel frame 

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • 18 levels of silent magnetic resistance
  • 0-20 degrees of incline
  • SmartAdjust technology allows iFIT trainer to adjust resistance
  • Free 30-day iFIT membership
  • Free shipping

Cons

  • Incline adjusted manually
  • 275-lb user weight capacity
  • Long assembly process

Bottom Line

The ProForm Carbon EL elliptical is an affordable machine with both resistance and incline abilities if you’re looking for guided workouts. If you don’t think you’ll use iFIT, there’s probably a better machine for you.

Priced around $800, the ProForm Carbon EL has a lot to offer people looking for one of the best ellipticals under $1,000. First, and perhaps most significantly, it syncs with iFIT, which is interactive, streaming programming featuring personal trainers. They lead you through thousands of workouts you can do on the Carbon EL, as well as off-machine workouts like yoga, Pilates, and strength training.

We should also note that this is one of the best quiet ellipticals. Our testers used it for several workouts at the iFIT headquarters, and they both noted that the “silent magnetic resistance” that ProForm touts on this machine is, indeed, quiet.

When it comes to ergonomics, our testers gave the Carbon EL a 4 out of 5 for a few reasons. First, it has fixed and moving handles, so you can adjust your grip and your workout as you go. There is also a 19-inch adjustable stride, which you can adjust manually to better suit your body. A 19-inch stride is just under the 20 inches we like to see to accommodate tall people, though it should still suit most users.

The Carbon EL features an impressive 20-degree incline ramp if you want to kick your workout up a notch, as well as 18 levels of resistance.

You should be aware that the Carbon EL weighs more than 200 pounds. Our testers said they could tilt it onto the front rollers and move it, but they were on hard ground. It may be a little more challenging to do this on something like carpeting. Make sure you assemble it where you plan to use it.

Best Quiet Budget Elliptical: Niceday Elliptical Machine

Good for: Individuals in shared spaces or who need very quiet exercise equipment

Best Quiet Budget Elliptical

Niceday Elliptical Machine

product image
GGR Score: 3.53

Product Highlights

  • Designed with 90% pre-assembled pieces makes installation simple
  • 16-lb flywheel offers 16 levels of smooth resistance with a high gear ratio
  • Extra-thick steel frame is exceptionally sturdy and able to hold weights up to 400 pounds
  • Fits individuals 4’9” inches to 6’2”
  • Minimal noise emission measuring only 20dB

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Simple assembly
  • 16 levels of resistance
  • No electrical source required
  • Stable
  • High user weight capacity

Cons

  • Short stride of 15.5 inches
  • Circular stride versus oval may feel awkward
  • Basic display reportedly breaks easily

Bottom Line

With eight levels of magnetic resistance, a sturdy frame, and 400-pound user weight capacity, the Niceday Elliptical Trainer may be a good choice for those needing higher weight limits.

There’s a good reason I referred to the Niceday Elliptical Machine as “quiet as a church mouse”—it’s virtually noiseless. GGR senior director of content Kate Meier tested this elliptical, and she said, “This is one of the quietest machines I’ve ever been on.” Why is it silent? There is no motor and no electricity that runs to the Niceday.

If you want to get a quick workout while others are sleeping, this is an excellent option. Plus, the machine doesn’t need to be plugged in to work, so you can move it to any corner of your house that suits you without worrying about finding an outlet. 

I’m a huge fan of the lifetime parts warranty, which is uncommon on budget machines. The brand promises to send you a replacement part for your Niceday Elliptical whenever anything breaks or stops working. 

Nice Day Elliptical in use

And there’s more to love—the Niceday Elliptical has oversized pedals to fit a variety of foot sizes, and there are 16 levels of resistance to choose from. 

“When I turned the resistance to the hardest level, it felt like I was getting a good workout,” Kate says, giving this a 3.5 out of 5 overall for her workout experience. “I did a 15-minute interval workout, rotating through all the resistance settings, pedaling forward, pedaling backward. This is a machine that is largely just okay, but it’s excellent if you want a basic and very quiet elliptical.”

Kate did note that the handles were a bit wobbly the higher the resistance got. Although the brand brags about the 400-pound weight capacity, we’re a little skeptical of these claims. 

“I’m well under half the max weight and felt some play in the structure while using it,” Kate explained.

Best Budget Elliptical for Beginners: Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Elliptical

Good for: People who need an easy way to get a full-body workout 

Best Budget Elliptical for Beginners

Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Elliptical

GGR Score: 3.9

Product Highlights

  • Just 105 pounds and easy to move
  • Supports up to 330 pounds
  • Fixed and moving handles for upper body workout
  • 24 built-in workouts

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Easy-to-follow built-in workouts
  • Under $600
  • Machine is smooth and doesn’t shake
  • 16 levels of resistance

Cons

  • Warranty is below the industry standard
  • Unclear assembly instructions
  • Short stride length of just 15.5 inches

Bottom Line

Pack a cardio workout in the comfort of your home with the SF-E3912 Pre-Programmed Elliptical Trainer by Sunny Health & Fitness. Stride 15.

New to working out and don’t know where to start? Consider picking up (not literally, unless you need to) the Sunny Health & Fitness SF-E3912 magnetic elliptical. This cardio machine is ideal for beginners because it has 24 built-in workouts. Kate Meier, GGR senior director of content and certified personal trainer, tested this elliptical and said that it’s what you would expect for a compact, budget elliptical.

Best of all, it’s easy to use. Simply just select one of the available options and stride away! No complicated mumbo jumbo that makes working out harder than it needs to be. Plus, this machine has a user weight capacity of 330 pounds, which is above the industry standard of 275 to 300 pounds. Despite this, tall people may find this machine a bit too compact for them—with a 15.5-inch stride length, it’s not meant for vertically gifted people, earning it a middle-of-the-road 3 out of 5 in the ergonomics category.  

Sunny Health and Fitness Magnetic Elliptical product photo full view

When you’re ready to kick things up a notch, the Sunny elliptical has 16 different resistance options that can easily be utilized via the display. 

A few things I don’t love? The complicated assembly and the subpar warranty. I would definitely recommend grabbing a friend and a Phillips head screwdriver to make the process a little easier. Kate says she did this on her own, and the instructions given aren’t very clear. She says that while the needed tools are provided, using your own screwdriver makes things quicker. This earned it a 3.5-out-of-5 in our delivery and assembly category.

Let’s talk about the warranty—with just three years on the frame and only 180 days for all other pieces, I am concerned about the long-term durability of this machine. Although we didn’t experience any issues, we haven’t used the SF-E3912 for three years and can’t speak to long-term sturdiness.

Best Value Budget Elliptical: Merach E19 Classic Smart Elliptical

Good for: Those who want tech features for less

Best Value

Merach E19 Classic Smart Resistance Elliptical

product image
GGR Score: 3.4

Product Highlights

  • Smart elliptical with free MERACH fitness app 
  • 4 training modes: walking mode, HIIT Training, sculpting mode, and butt training mode 
  • Heart rate tracking and Bluetooth connectivity 
  • 16 levels of magnetic resistance 

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • 330-lb user weight capacity
  • Free MERACH fitness app with games and training courses
  • Included resistance bands for use with or without elliptical
  • Free shipping
  • Quiet at less than 20 decibels
  • Heart rate tracking
  • Auto adjusting resistance synchronized with courses

Cons

  • Very limited product reviews
  • Stationary handrails
  • MERACH app reviewed poorly; customers found it glitchy

Bottom Line

The MERACH E19 Classic Smart Resistance Elliptical has a compact design with 16 levels of magnetic resistance. When paired with the MERACH app and workouts, the elliptical will automatically adjust resistance. There are extremely limited reviews on the elliptical; however, the app has poor reviews and complaints from customers about being glitchy.

The Merach E19 checks a lot of the boxes when it comes to a solid budget elliptical: a 330-pound weight capacity, a compact 2-feet-by-3.33-feet footprint, an 18-inch stride length, and 16 levels of magnetic resistance.

However, what brings the value with this machine is its tech capabilities, which we’re giving a 5-out-of-5 rating. By connecting via Bluetooth to the free Merach app, you can utilize the dynamic programming, plus the auto-adjust technology, which will change the resistance for you during your workout to follow along with the trainer. You rarely see these types of features on a budget machine. Getting them on a budget elliptical is even rarer—we’re impressed. 

RELATED: Elliptical vs Bike

The E19 also features adjustable armrests and attached resistance bands, allowing you to further customize your workout. The armrests don’t move, however—something to note if you were looking for an elliptical with that feature. All of this for under $400 provides really solid value, especially for someone working out in a small space.

Other Budget Ellipticals We Researched

Stamina Inmotion Elliptical: While I like the idea of this $120 machine, I hesitate to even call it an elliptical. It’s supposed to mainly be used while sitting down—an under-desk elliptical if you will—but there is a stock photo of a woman standing on it with zero support. Sounds like a recipe for a broken bone or two if you ask me.

Schwinn Fitness 411 Compact Elliptical Machine: Although I love the 18-inch stride length and strong warranty, the Schwinn 411 is apparently difficult to use. Multiple purchasers of various fitness levels complained about the resistance levels being too hard, even at the lowest level.

Decathlon-Domyos EL500 Elliptical: Preset programs are a great way for beginners to get started, and the EL500 has quite a few options to choose from. However, the stride length is a measly 12.59 inches, which is well below the industry standard. Tall folks will have major difficulty comfortably using this machine.  

Exerpeutic Heavy Duty Magnetic Elliptical: This inexpensive elliptical will get the job done for around $300, but everyone in your neighborhood will probably hear you working out. The Exerpeutic elliptical squeaks to the high heavens!

How We Picked and Tested the Best Budget Ellipticals

At Garage Gym Reviews, we take our testing and reviewing very seriously. Hours of research and exercising go into us evaluating each piece of equipment on our site. When determining which ellipticals would make it into this roundup, we examined the following:

Price: Is the elliptical machine under $1,000? Are there financing options, even at a lower price point?
Workout experience: Was the elliptical stable while in use? Was there any shaking or play in the handlebars or frame?
Stride length: What is the stride length? Is it at least 18-20 inches for maximum usability?
Weight capacity: What is the weight capacity? How does it compare to the industry standard of at least 275 to 300 pounds?
Display: Is there an LCD monitor? Is it backlit?
Compactness/Portability: How big is the machine? Can it be folded or stored in any way? Does it have transport wheels? Do you need a second person to move the elliptical?
Warranty: What is the warranty for the frame, labor, and parts?

Resistance levels: Are there at least 12 levels of resistance?
Adjustability: Can anything be adjusted (like the range of motion, the foot pedals, and magnetic resistance)?
Incline levels: Does the machine have any incline options?
Assembly: How difficult is the assembly process? Will it require additional help? Are the directions clear and easy to follow?
Extras: Does the elliptical have a water bottle, accessories, or device holder? Are there pulse grips on the elliptical? 
Pedals: Are the pedals oversized? Are they textured or cushioned?
Technology: What type of display does the elliptical have? What metrics does it show? How big is the screen? Is it compatible with any interactive programming? Is there Bluetooth connectivity? Are there any preset programs?

Benefits of Budget Ellipticals

Why the heck should you spend your hard-earned money on an elliptical or cross-trainer? I’m glad you asked! Check out Garage Gym Reviews staff writer and NASM certified personal trainer Anthony O’Reilly’s thoughts.

Low-Impact Exercise

Ellipticals are a perfect choice for those recovering from injury or those who have sensitive joints. “Because your feet aren’t crashing down with every stride, like they are during outdoor running or on a treadmill, your knees and ankles don’t take as much impact,” he says. “This can also lead to longer cardio workout sessions, which in turn could lead to increased caloric expenditure.” 

Saves You Time

Because you’re simultaneously using your upper- and lower-body muscles, you can get a total-body workout in a shorter amount of time.

Improved Cardiovascular Fitness

“One of the main reasons to invest in an elliptical machine is it helps get your heart rate pumping, which leads to improved stamina and overall cardio performance,” Anthony says. “This has been shown to decrease the risk of diseases like diabetes and heart disease, and improve multiple health markers from insulin resistance to lowering your resting heart rate.” 

Buying Guide: What to Look For in a Budget Elliptical

Everyone is looking for different things when it comes to purchasing an elliptical for home use. However, here are some of the most common factors to keep in mind when you’re thinking about adding an exercise machine to your home gym.

Space Constraints

Some of us have giant, dedicated basements, garages, and rooms for our home gyms. Others have a small corner of their living room to fit a piece of cardio equipment. Whatever your situation is, make sure to measure the space beforehand so you know the maximum footprint your elliptical can have. 

Price Range

What might be considered an affordable elliptical to me might not be to you. Determining your price range ahead of time will keep you from overspending. Pro tip: Check out our discount codes and keep your eyes peeled for holiday savings to keep some cash in your pocket. Plus, many retailers now offer excellent financing options, so you can break down your payment into manageable chunks. 

Warranty

Typically, I like to see a warranty that is at least 10 years (if not more) on the frame of an elliptical. However, it is important to keep in mind the price of the machine. You generally won’t find a top-of-the-line warranty on a $100 elliptical machine, so you have to pick and choose your battles. 

Resistance and Incline Options

For those who want to up the ante on their elliptical workouts, make sure your new cardio machine has resistance or incline options. The majority of budget ellipticals have resistance knobs, but incline is a bit more rare.

RELATED: Best Elliptical Workout

Stride Length

If you’re a shorter person, the stride length of your machine will matter quite a bit less. However, if you’re tall, you may find you are most comfortable on an elliptical that has an 18- to 20-inch stride length. This can be more difficult to find on budget machines, but it isn’t impossible.

Portability

Especially if you live in a multi-story building or home without an elevator, you’ll likely want to consider the portability of the elliptical you plan to purchase. Of course, you can hire professional movers, but if that’s not in the budget, make sure your potential elliptical has transport wheels to help it move around a room (and consider the total weight of the machine).

Budget Elliptical FAQs

What muscles do ellipticals work?

“An elliptical HIIT workout tends to affect all major muscle groups,” Garage Gym Reviews senior director of content and certified personal trainer Kate Meier shares. “Your hamstrings, quads, and glutes take on the brunt of the work, especially if you have an elliptical where you can vary the incline to target those groups in different ways.” 

“If your elliptical has moving handlebars, your upper body also gets involved, though to a much smaller degree than the lower body. Pulling and pushing on the handles will work your biceps as well as the upper back, specifically rhomboids and traps,” Kate explains.

“Lastly, your core has to work hard to keep you stabilized, much like your core is activated during running sprints. I wouldn’t call an elliptical workout a core workout, but you certainly engage your core muscles when you hold proper posture on an elliptical.”

Are home ellipticals worth it?

Yes, it is important to get some type of cardio in routinely, and purchasing an elliptical may be the best option for you. Prior to purchasing, I’d recommend deciding which form of cardio is your favorite (indoor biking, treadmill running, or elliptical striding) so you get something you’ll actually use. Check out if your potential elliptical has things like preset workout programs, a water bottle holder, and a stride length that will support you.

How much should I spend on an elliptical?

Depending on the features you want on your budget elliptical, you may spend anywhere from $100 to $1,000. If you want a longer stride, a better warranty, added pulse sensors, or extra stability, you will pay more.

What is the best elliptical that doesn’t require a subscription?

There are many budget ellipticals that do not require a subscription. We like the Horizon Fitness EX-59 best because it is priced around $700 and has lots of great features.
