Finding the best at home elliptical machine takes a little bit of research in three main areas. Finding good customer reviews and expert ratings on the best selling ellipticals is a great way to get the information you need to make a good purchase decision. Make sure to look for one that ranks highly in the following three basic categories.

1) Price. All at home workout equipment are broken down into three seperate price categories. Ellipticals are reviewed this way. Economical, (less than $1000 retail), Moderate, (between $1000 and $2000 retail), and High End, (over $2000 retail). Finding machines that are rated highly in their specific price category will help to ensure good value. Determine what your price range is first, then choose a machine that fits into your budget.

2) Durability. Of course quality of performance is important, but too many people make the mistake of just looking for the best rated elliptical in terms of performance. Sometimes, after a short period of time, the quality of performance quickly drops off. It is important to look at the durability ratings of a specific model you are looking at. You will not get good value if the machine deteriorates quickly.

3) Size. Make sure the elliptical trainer will fit in the space that you have designated for it and allow you workout on it safely and comfortably. Is a portable elliptical something you need? Does the model you are considering fold down for easier storage? Is this feature worth paying more for to you? A lot of people make the mistake of purchasing an elliptical trainer that simply does not fit or is too big to be convenient. Get the measurements ahead of time and draw out a space for it wherever you will be storing it. Is there ample room or do you need a smaller machine?
