The Horizon elliptical is a great exercise machine with smooth transitioning and movement throughout from the footpads to the arm motion. So far I am very impressed with the machine, but the only disadvantage so far is the backward motion is not very natural and difficult to do. The water bottle holder is placed under the heads up display (HUD) so it can be hard to reach it if you are in full on elliptical mode. The ipod dock is placed at the very top of the HUD, and I felt that would have been a more appropriate spot for the water bottle. The unit is quite heavy, but does have two wheels at the front to help move it around, but if you are moving or relocating the machine, you must have two people for safety. As for energy consumption, I can not say for sure how much exactly it takes up, but there has not been any noticeable spikes in my energy bill. Overall, I am very happy with the unit, and would highly recommend the Horizon to all my friends. The ease of use and sturdiness of the construct are a solid plus, for any fitness enthusiast.

Horizon Eliptical has everything you need for a great workout. It has optional hand bars for upper arm workout and also handrails if you just want the lower body. It has wide foot pedals for a good stance. It has an IPOD adapter so you can listen to your music. It has various workout levels and programs that work with whatever level you are at. It was easy to set up and is easy to use. It does take up a good amount of space, but that is expected. The price was reasonable and the best for the money.

I love this!!! It doesn't require you to get off machine to change resistance or incline, you can do that with a push of button.It also has  built in mp3 speakers so you can listen to your own music w/out bothering anyone else.Very easy to use. I just love using it
