What reviewers say about the Sole E25
Two whitelisted outlets reviewed the Sole E25 elliptical. Garage Gym Reviews did genuine hands-on testing (three testers, assembled the unit, a ~2-hour build by tester Coop), while BarBend's writeup is qualitative/spec-based. Both call it a top budget elliptical for its durable steel frame, quiet magnetic front-drive, and value, but flag the fixed 20-inch stride as too short for users over six feet and note the machine's bulk. GGR alone knocks the confusing assembly instructions.

Where reviewers disagree The two reviews cite different prices, reflecting Sole's pricing changes between the dates: BarBend's Nov-2024 writeup quotes a sub-$1,000 (~$900) tag, while GGR's 2026 review lists a ~$1,300 price. They also report slightly different unit weights (209 lb official per GGR vs 212 lb per BarBend).

Assembly time (tester Coop, hands-on): ~2 hours
The SOLE E25 isn’t the flashiest elliptical we’ve tested, but after having three testers spend time on it, we’ve determined that it’s one of the best ellipticals for under $1,500.
The instructions are so bad. They have one picture that shows what they call one step but is really like 30 steps, so it’s hard to see what’s what.
I did notice it moved ever so slightly when I used it, even though I don’t come close to the weight limit.
Due to its high-quality construction and affordable price tag, the E25 is one of our favorite ellipticals on the market
A potential downside for those over six feet tall is that the 20-inch stride length may be too short to hit your natural stride.
