Fuel Fitness FE44 Elliptical Trainer Review - An Affordable Choice for an Everyday Workout

If you are planning on checking out new elliptical machines that offer high quality at a remarkably low price, then Fuel is what you will find. Fuel products are a relatively new brand, currently offering two ellipticals and two treadmills, all for under $1,000. However, they've been advertising aggressively on the Internet.

The Fuel FE44 elliptical has an 18" stride, which most people will find comfortable. If you are over 5'11" you may want to consider the FE66 with a 20" stride. The Fuel FE44 is equipped with articulating foot pedals, which angles with the elliptical motion and reduces stress. Talking about the elliptical motion, you get a 19 lbs. flywheel, which contribute to a smooth motion.

Being a front drive machine, the Fuel FE 44 has pedals than run on single rails. This is not the most stable design, but is typical at this price range.

The console and display are very basic on the Fuel FE 44, with a single LCD window readout. You get built-in speakers in the console, but do not expect excellent quality. However, you get 15 workout programs, which give you a nice variety of exercise challenges. So you won’t even think twice about the sound quality of the speakers. Besides, you aren’t on an affordable elliptical to be at a concert – you’re on it to keep in shape. The quality of speakers on a model at this price point should not be a deterrent.

The Fuel FE 44 offers a lifetime warranty on the brake system and 1-year parts and labor. You'll find some models at this price offering only a 90-day parts and labor coverage, so that is just another added bonus to the FE44.

The Fuel FE 44 is a great machine for those of us on a budget to have a chance to own a high end elliptical machine without having to refinance our home. Fuel has produced the single best elliptical you can buy for under $700 in the Fuel FE44. For the price you are paying, the Fuel FE44 delivers the best workout you can find and is the most solid, sturdy, and stable. This elliptical should be priced at $999 or more, but is offered at a mind-blowing $699. A+ in my book, and as long as you aren’t expecting a Ferrari for the price of a Hyundai, I think anyone would be happy with this machine for casual everyday use.
