★★★★☆

Landice consistently earns top reviews for its made-in-the-USA treadmills. Even so, the five-star company has managed to outdo itself with the residential E7 ElliptiMill. An ElliptiMill is a hybrid treadmill/elliptical. It lets people walk naturally as with a traditional home treadmill, but it borrows elements from elliptical trainers to reduce the impact of exercise on trainees’ joints. Plus, unlike a standard treadmill, an ElliptiMill includes movable handlebars to support a total-body workout.

The E7 ElliptiMill is sold with four console choices. The Pro Trainer console described here is the most affordable option.

What We Like

  • Challenging programs – The Pro Trainer console features five traditional workout programs and room to save two user-designed workouts. Twenty resistance levels add extra variety to workouts and challenge users at a number of fitness levels.
  • Fits almost anyone – The Landice E7 ElliptiMill supports stride lengths of 17” to 23” to suit trainees of all different heights. It has a 500-pound user weight capacity.
  • Cushioning – Orthopedic inserts make Landice pedals known for superior cushioning. The gel inserts promote comfort and help make the ElliptiMill a virtually no-impact fitness machine.
  • Upper body exercise – Upper-body workout handles let people synchronize upper-body and lower-body workouts. At the same time, Landice’s center-drive technology makes it easy to stay upright just as you would with a regular treadmill.
  • Extras – An MP3-player dock, a bottle holder, and an integrated workout fan help make the Landice E7 a top treadmill-style trainer.
  • Strong warranty – Buyers get a lifetime warranty on the entire ElliptiMill plus a year of labor.

What We Don’t Like

  • The price — Landice ElliptiMills offer great value, but they’re too expensive for many treadmill customers.
  • The weight — At around 500 pounds, this is not a machine to tote from room to room.

Our Verdict

If a Landice fits your budget and your workout space, then the E7 ElliptiMill with a lifetime warranty will not disappoint. It combines high-quality parts with excellent ergonomics, challenging workouts, and extras that make exercising fun. It’s an ideal way to replicate the feel of treadmill training while avoiding the potentially damaging effects of repeated joint impacts.
