Exercising equipment from Weslo belongs to low quality category and low price market. The models you can find there are usually not able to endure any serious exercising routine. Weslo elliptical trainers are all under $500 mark, which tells you enough about the quality. It’s not easy to make a stable and reliable machine when you have such a small budget. Comparing a $200 elliptical trainer from Weslo and $1,500 from Smooth, you can comprehend the difference in quality. I would not take Weslo in any case, even if I want to do some walking during the weekends. It’s better to save some money and buy pricier machine that will be able to function without problems and constant repairs.
