Proform Carbon EL Elliptical Review

How long will the Proform Carbon EL last?

The Proform Carbon EL is a solid constructed elliptical made of high-quality steel that holds up to 275 lbs. of moving workout weight. It is designed to last through many light to moderate workouts and is covered by a 10-year warranty on the frame by Icon – a company who has been in the fitness business for literally years. The one-year parts and labor warranty is a rather shorter time period than other models and does not invite warm feelings of bliss though when you purchase directly on Proform.com you can get extended 3- and 5-year warranties for additional costs.

Brief Overview

The Proform Carbon EL is our Second Place Best Buy Winner in the $700 to $999 price range. It is a sturdy start up machine for those looking to add a little excitement to their workout fun and brings along a free 30-day membership to the iFit platform upon purchase. Additionally, the Carbon EL supports interactive training where the elliptical’s resistance is controlled during iFit exercise sessions for additional help in meeting fitness goals.
