Diamondback 900Er Elliptical Trainer Review
The Diamondback 900Er elliptical trainer is a step up from their 500Er model, with the same reliable performance enhanced with a few additional features. Diamondback has been making a name for themselves in the fitness equipment industry, and they have managed to come out with a high-performance line of ellipticals that pack a ton of quality features into a surprisingly small package. If you want a gym quality workout at home, the Diamondback ellipticals are well worth looking at.
Diamondback 900Er Features
At 187 lbs, this is a nice weight for an elliptical, and you can easily move it around with the transport wheel. And at 72" long, it won't take up too much real estate in your home. But although it is lighter than some of their other ellipticals, it still stands up to fairly heavy use and can handle a heavier maximum weight than most other ellipticals of this size. The exposed frame and cast alloy connection points are indications of a well-built machine that can bear harder use.
The stride length is 21", which is a nice stride that offers a good stretch as well as a more comfortable ride for taller people. The foot pedals can be adjusted for width, which gives you a custom fit for your feet. You can also adjust the width of the handlebars using an easy, quick release level. This is great for a multi-user household, as each person can quickly conform the elliptical to their own desired level of comfort.
If you like to shake things up in your workouts, you can. There are unlimited programs you can create, or use their fat burning interval, target heart rate, strength, fitness test, hill climbing or custom trainer programs. The console is easy to use, and can be adjusted for best viewing.
Value for Money
At around $1,500, this is a lot of elliptical for the price. You get a limited lifetime warranty on the brake and the frame, plus three years for parts and electronics. The one year labor and ninety day wear warranty leaves a little to be desired, and if you can purchase extended coverage it would be wise to do so.
Diamondback 900Er Bottom Line
This is a great, all around elliptical exercise machine for the home user who wants something comfortable, safe and durable. It is comfortable to use, and accommodates a wide variety of shapes, sizes and fitness levels. Diamondback has earned their solid reputation, and the Diamondback 900Er elliptical trainer definitely demonstrates why.
