Nordictrack CX 925 Elliptical

Pros: good, comfortable stride motion compared to others. Features/programs for price.
Cons: Parts QC can be iffy. Not intended for abuse.

I read all of the reviews here before buying the newer model of this, the CX 938. Taken in moderation, most of the reviews here offer an accurate description of this model. The price of this model is now 599 direct from nordictrack. With the 3 year ...

Pros: Quiet, easy to use, Ifit.com compatible, great for the price, child safe
Cons: Heavy, so get someone to help you, confusing directions, expensive dust collector

My husband bought this elliptical for me for Christmas. He has originally brought me to Sears to try out the ones they had on display because "he would buy me one when they went on clearance" I tried out all of them and came to the conclusion that this ...

Pros: It's sturdy!
Cons: Poorly manufactured in China, breaks first usage, NordicTrack calls back when sure you are unavailable!

There comes a time in everyone's life, I suppose - the urge to regain some muscle tone, stamina and general fitness. At the less than subtle hints of the spouse that she wanted a cheap "Gazelle" elliptical that was on sale at Sears, I went to Sears to ...

Pros: Sturdy, not clunky looking, functions well, good workout
Cons: Heavy, occasional problems

I wanted to buy a good elliptical that I could use about 5 times a week without it falling apart. My budget was around $500 but would go over for a good quality product. After several weeks of researching, testing out, and realizing I could not afford ...

Pros: Smooth comfortable stride, sturdy construction, no adjustment to pedals between users, "bumpless" resistance changes
Cons: Battery operated display

First I want to say I have not experienced any of the negative problems that txcoyote did in his review. You will need to plan some time (about 2 hours) for assembly and review each step carefully before proceeding. I bought mine at Sears for $499. ...

Pros: No power cord, quality build, fluid motion, iFit compatible, very quiet
Cons: No power cord, shallow bottle holders

NordicTrack has a reputation of quality products in all their excersise lines and this elliptical machine does nothing to dispell that! This machine is sturdy, rugged, and goes beyond what I thought it would. I am very impressed with the craftsmanship ...

Pros: Well packaged, easy to assemble, dead quiet and smooth.
Cons: None really, although 110 volt power vs. batteries would have been nice.

I, like others, read txcoyote's flaming review of the CX 925 (above) and wrote it off as a bad investment. I didn't want a problems, difficult assembly, or injury from weld slag; I just wanted a good cost effective elliptical trainer. But after ...

Pros: Solid feel, smooth motion, low price
Cons: Display is limited, pre-programmed routines to soft, D-batteries

Like the title says, this is an exceptional elliptical trainer for the price. I paid a little over $500 USD for this piece of equipment. And I couldn't be happier. Shopping Around We looked around at various sporting goods stores, Dicks, ...

Pros: Good value for the money
Cons: Console design

I purchased the CX 925 from Sears just over a year ago. The machine is smooth operating at the lower speeds, but when you really get it going, there is a little wobble and some clicking noises. For the price, this is acceptable. The shortcomings that ...

Pros: Inexpensive.
Cons: Poorly made; horrible clunking noise when you used it. Difficult to assemble.

This was probably the worst purchase we've ever made. With the cold weather upon us and our toddler keeping us busy all day long, we decided that the only way to get any cardio exercise was to buy an elliptical trainer for evening use. We went to Sears ...

Pros: Lots of features, smooth operation.
Cons: Never worked, poor customer service.

We did our home work and looked at every Elliptical in our price range. We bought the 925 because of its smooth action and features. I saw that it got good reviews and ignored the few bad reviews, they must have got a bad one I thought. We bought it ...

Pros: None, have not been able to use it since the original purchase.
Cons: product quality, customer service, packaging quality

I am writing this message to spare potential buyers unnecessary grief and aggravation. I first purchased this product in January 2005 and assembled myself. The first box was in shabby condition which made me worry about the quality of the contents. ...

Pros: Smooth operation when new
Cons: Poor support mechanism to help customers. Must leave number, no return calls come in.

I have owned the Nordic Track CX925 for about 18 months, using it 3 times per week, 60 minutes per workout. I bought this model due to the smooth operation of the pedal movement. No other elliptical was a smooth, even some at $1,500. That was the ...

Pros: Stable, good workout, console is nice
Cons: Weak flywheel design. Bearings are cheap. Can't be serviced except for minor parts.

I bought this unit at Sears on sale. Got it home and put the unit together. No to bad here had the unit assembled in 1 hour. Then 2 months into using the machine it started to make a grinding noise in the flywheel area. I called NordicTrack and they ...

Pros: None
Cons: Poorly constructed; Unfair refund policy;

After significant online and offline research, we decided to go ahead with the NordicTrack. There were mixed reviews--some good, some horrible (see other epinions views). We decided we didn't want to spend the $2-3K on a Precor or other high-end ...
