Horizon elliptical machine

Horizon E6 Elliptical Trainer

MSRP: $1,699

Bottom Line: Horizon has been making front drive ellipticals for about five years now. The feel and movement is not as good as their sister brand, Vision. Quality is definitely lacking given the low-end components of these elliptical trainers.
