Product Description
The original Smooth CE elliptical exerciser set the bar by delivering performance that was sturdy, stable and smooth. Like the original CE, the CE 2.1 has the same completely silent mechanisms and ultra-smooth ride that live up to the Smooth Fitness name. But now the CE 2.1 also offers commercial-level durability and advanced technology that results in a completely natural feel and impact-free workout.

Upgrade to CE3.2 over 2.1,
By
This review is from: Smooth Fitness CE2.1 Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
Only had it a week but appears to be well-made and quiet. However I would upgrade to the next level for the controls and matrix screens. The LCD is mediocre at best and the computer is difficult to read for settings. The two units are mechanically identical, so performance is not an issue. 4 stars for the product, not for Smooth Fitness as a company.
Make sure you track all transactions with Smooth Fitness. Smooth Fitness attempted to send a used unit, but I caught the price difference and called/emailed them on it. Not a big deal, but... Another order for a 6.25 treadmill was delivered and turned out to be a used machine that was partially packaged. The treadmill was upside down in the box with missing and broken Styrofoam pieces. Obviously, it was a customer return that was never tested or repackaged. The huge box was in good shape with no dents, no cuts, no holes. The delivery issues are the result of Smooth Fitness sending a used rather than a new unit for which I paid. This is the second time that Smooth Fitness has done a "bait and switch". Good equipment, but not a company with which I choose to do business.

Nice machine and is super quiet!,
This review is from: Smooth Fitness CE2.1 Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
I can't believe how quiet and smooth these ellipticals are! There is absolutely no sound at all created by using my elliptical. No fighting to hear the tv, no annoying clunking, clacking, or squeaking. The only thing is the stride is a bit short & I have to be careful not to bang my knees on the handle assembly. I have the very low-end model so I think for a bit more money the higher end ones have a longer stride. FYI I'm 5'9". The movement is super smooth too. These are a bit pricey (I got mine used very reasonably) but they are so much better than the ones you'll see at most stores (Proform, Nordic Track, Weslo). They're not quite like the high tech ones at the gym, but for home use on a snowy day they're more than adequate!! Highly recommended!

So Far So Good,
By Goldenbough (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smooth Fitness CE2.1 Elliptical Trainer (Sports)
I really like the 2.1 and have been using it for about seven months. It was easy for me to put together (to my wife's amazement) and it's well-made and of high quality. The stickers did come off, but a little super glue took care of that. It took me a few days to get used to the elliptical movement, but I use it regularly for cross training and to prevent/recover from running overuse injuries. It's been a life saver when I haven't been able to run. The 2.1 is basically the same machine as the 3.2 without the heart rate monitor and the fancier computer. I have a dedicated heart rate monitor which gives me all the information I need, so the additional cost for the 3.2 was unnecessary. The computer on the 2.1 is sketchy, but none of the computers on any of the ellipticals (at least the ones I've tried) are accurate or dependable. I also find the (9) preset programs unnecessary. I start the workout with the time set for ninety minutes and adjust the intensity levels manually with a quick press of a button, and go as long as I like. It's pretty much a seamless operation to change the intensity levels while working out. I can get a heck of a workout, and I can raise my heart rate as high as I like--when I'm doing a long distance run, my HR is usually LOWER on the run than on the elliptical. Although the 2.1 workout is often more intense than many of my runs, it doesn't feel as difficult even though my heart rate is higher than when I'm running. Exercising at 90% of my maximum HR feels easier on the 2.1 (though not easy) than on a run. Basically I use the 2.1 as a manually operated adjustable machine, and for that, I couldn't have chosen a better one. I particularly like that the movement can be forward or backwards. I usually cool down in reverse motion, which probably balances my muscles a bit. I'm about 5'11 and 145 lbs,and my machine is very stable and quiet, but shorter/heavier/more compact people may have a different experience. Initially I wished the stride were a bit longer, but after about a week, it ceased to be an issue. If you need bells and whistles, the 2.1 may not be for you, but if you have a heart monitor (which costs less than the upgrade to the 3.2) and don't need to rely on the computer for more than time and intensity level, it's terrific. The computer does give distance traveled and calories used, but I use that just for comparing workouts. I don't believe they're accurate measures. One other point is that the 2.1 is a rear fly wheel elliptical and so doesn't have rails which need to be cleaned regularly. There are very good front wheel ellipticals on the market, but I wanted something simple that would stand up to strenuous workouts. So far, so good! P.S. Check the prices, as they frequently go on sale.
