Eclipse 1100 HR Elliptical

With all the features that the Eclipse 1100 hr has, you’d think it would be one of the best ellipticals you can get for under $500. But you’d be wrong, dead wrong in fact. The major flaw with the Eclipse 1100 is the tiny, awkward stride length of only 15″.

It’s not much of a workout when your legs only travel a few inches. And when you speed up your pace, get ready for a jolting bumpy ride. Now I know what the pioneers must have felt like riding in their wagons down the deep-rutted Oregon trail all day!..

If you’re short on cash and don’t want to invest in a better machine that will last you 20 times longer than the Eclipse, go ahead and get one. But don’t say you weren’t warned.
