Thanks for an awesome review! Do you know why the E35 is so much longer? I was hoping it had a longer stride and that's why it was longer because I don't like the short stride that some home-ellipticals have but you mentioned that the stride is actually the same on both machines technically. Any difference in the way the stride feels? Thanks!
Great question, I'm the same way @ 6'1 I'm going to have a diff stride than my sister @ 5'2.... It sucks after 1 year they couldn't take the time to answer.
Thank you for doing this review! I want to buy Sole E35, but is not available in my country. Now, I am opting for E25 and not E95 as E95 is a bit costlier. Is the pedal adjustment feature in E35/E95 something important and cannot be ignored? Can I use E25 without the pedal adjustment feature? FYI - I have knee issues due to weight gain.
Really good review.......for all these equipment reviews, I think that it might be helpful if the reviewer's height was known just for a frame of reference. Great job though young lady......thanx a bunch; we all appreciate your work.
I would no longer recommend SOLE elipticals. The frames are still sturdy, but the tolerances on the machined components, are not as accurate as they one were. These inaccuracies cause premature wear on the joints. I've had 4 of these machines over the years, and the first 2 that I owned were good machines. The last 2...including the E55 & E95 elipticals... turned out to be nothing but a headaches, nothing but problems. Another thing...Sole customer support is not as helpful to the customers that buy these expensive machines. When they fail under warranty, they want you , the customer, to pay for a lot of the repairs, at Soles discretion. Will not be buying another Sole product ever again.
@Brynnthebookworm The older machines lasted for years, as you would expect, after forking out that much money for these machines. The newer machines; small issues began 7-8 months in..and accumulated, turning into larger issues, which lingered to the 1 year mark, and beyond. I sold these machines for what I could get for them, and cut my loses. I ended up buying a quality boxing bag for a little over $200..AND I never have to worry about it breaking because of mechanical issues. I just wish I would have considered buying the boxing bag before I bought these expensive machines Also, keep this in mind...after a short time period, the machines can't be returned/refunded. It's something to really ponder, because it is a significant investment, and risk.
Wow, thanks for pointing that out! I'll hold off on betting on a Sole as well. Out of curiosity, which one did you end up buying? I just want a basic solid elliptical that I can use 3x a week without all that iFit stuff.
Very good review. Thanks
I just order the E35 can’t wait! ❤
Nice review. I am still a little confused about the longer length though, since they are both 20" stride length.

I find the resistance to be weak on both of these machines. Does it get stronger with the higher end models?
What is the advantage of the e35s longer length? I'm 6' 2
The E35's stride may feel more comfortable for your knees. The E25 has a better stride and build for petite users.

This is great info, thank you!
About how long on average did the newer machines last versus the older machines would you say?

Really smooth! The movement of E35 looks much better.
Is tge machine quiet?
Yes, they are quiet… probably some of the quietest
I was all set to buy a Sole, then someone said it's rated an F at BBB. So many complaints about customer service. Back to the drawing board.....

@@shreyasdube I bought an Octane! It's great.....smooth, quiet.....but a LOT more money. I wanted something that will last.
@deanneadams9852 Which one did you get I've been looking at sole and octain.
@@KobeMonster007 I bought an Octane. Lot more money but I wanted durability /gym quality. No regrets.
I'm 250 lbs approx. 6,ft 1. Which do I need for a really good workout and strength for body as well as arms?
The E35 would probably be a better fit for you.
Good job gorgeous 👍
Thank you for the excellent review. I wouldn't like the moving handles, and the music was annoying.
Nice review but kill the music while you're talking, it's very distracting and makes it harder to understand.
Great review, thanks!
