Quiet Drive – the Sole E35 Elliptical System Technology

While this means that such machines take up very little space, the downside is that they can be a bit unsteady and noisy which may be a bit distracting especially if you prefer to work out in a quite environment. The E35 elliptical machine comes with quiet drive technology that allows natural fluid motion in both forward and reverse motion, this is a often highlighted feature in the 2022 model and as pointed out in many consumer reviews. Compared to the older model this obviously translates to reduced noise The flywheel at 29 pounds is also heavy compared to most home use elliptical machines.

E35 Cons Reviewed
The limited number of workouts has to be this machines main drawback. The Sole E35 elliptical comes with only 10 workout programs which can be a bit limiting especially for trainers who are looking for more programs. Considering that there are other elliptical machines with more programs, this is an area, according to most reviewers, where the manufacturing company needs to step up. If you are however just looking for a machine to help you in your fitness journey without too many programs to choose from, then these 10 programs will work just fine.
Some people have also reported some noise especially when involved in very intense workout. The E35 Elliptical Machine is however generally quiet during normal workout and cannot be compared to most home based elliptical machines where noise is concerned.
The only way to end up with a completely quiet elliptical machine is to buy the industrial grade ones and this definitely comes at a cost and such machines are generally too bulky to be ideal for a home setting.
Sole E35 Elliptical Review Verdict & Final Thoughts
Based on the above features, it would be safe to say that the SOLE Fitness E35 elliptical Machine would be a great addition to any home gym. Manufactured by one of the most popular manufacturers of industrial grade fitness equipment, buyers can be guaranteed that they are buying a quality product.
