What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

Sole E35

Both whitelisted testers cover the Sole E35, but only BarBend hands-on tested it (dedicated tester, 13-category scoring, in-house photos); Garage Gym Reviews explicitly states it hadn't ridden the E35, extrapolating from the E25 plus aggregated customer reviews. Both praise quiet, smooth, stable operation, the 350-lb capacity, the bright 10.1-inch HD touchscreen, and 20 levels of resistance and incline. Both flag the heavy (211-231 lb) bulk that is hard to move and the oversized footprint. Neither reported independent instrument measurements. (2 sourced reviews, 1 lab-tested.)

Praised: Quiet, smooth, and stable during use (BarBend tester felt zero shaking even when adjusting resistance and incline); 350-lb weight capacity, which BarBend notes is ~50 lbs above the elliptical average; Bright, clear 10.1-inch HD touchscreen (BarBend highlights iOS screen mirroring/streaming).

Flagged: Heavy (211-231 lb) and hard to move even with transport wheels; Oversized footprint (~15 sq ft per BarBend) needs a dedicated space and does not fold; Resistance awkward to adjust mid-workout.
