What reviewers say about the Horizon EX-59
Two whitelisted outlets, Garage Gym Reviews and BarBend, both hands-on tested the Horizon EX-59 and agree it is a stable, no-frills budget elliptical that punches above its price. Both flag its light 14.3-pound flywheel, the missing flywheel warranty, and its basic no-touchscreen LCD tech. Both reviews are qualitative — neither reports lab-measured values.

It certainly is not as sturdy as a commercial model, but I was really happy with the stability for the price and size.
It’s a basic machine without any exceptional features, but it’s a really good price point for what you get.
the 14.3-pound flywheel falls below what we prefer to see in a elliptical for home gyms
Chief among its pros for our tester was the stability it provided during their workouts.
Typically, I’d like to see at least a 16-pound flywheel on an elliptical
it’s odd there is no warranty for the flywheel
