Overview

SOLE's home elliptical range, spanning the E25 through the E95S and E98, is built around a 20 inch stride and 20 lb flywheel for smooth, low impact motion. It targets home cardio users who want gym style resistance and incline range without gym size cost, with capacity rated to 350 lbs.

Because the listing spans several SOLE models, reviewers who bought it describe the E35 specifically, and other models in the range likely carry different features or price points, so buyers should confirm exactly which model ships. Delivery is via freight with curbside only service, which several buyers flagged as a bigger factor than the machine itself.

  • 20 inch stride, 20 lb flywheel
  • 20 resistance levels plus 0 to 20 power incline
  • 350 lb weight capacity
  • Curbside freight delivery, no in-home setup included

Who it's for

Home users wanting a quiet, adjustable elliptical with real incline and resistance range for regular cardio sessions. Anyone without help moving a large curbside freight delivery indoors should plan for that step before ordering.

What buyers say

Owners consistently praised how smooth and quiet the flywheel motion is, with the adjustable incline singled out as a real advantage over typical gym machines. The recurring complaints were the curbside only freight delivery, which can mean hours of assembly and an extra fee to get it inside, plus one report of console software crashing after updates.
