Smooth 3.2 Elliptical Trainer

The Smooth CE 3.2 Elliptical is the mid level Smooth elliptical machine and sits above the Smooth CE 2.1 elliptical and below the Smooth 7.4 elliptical in the model lineup... (compare to similar model Sole E75 elliptical and Sole E95 elliptical)

OK, you know by now that I like the Smooth 2.1 Elliptical as you probably read in my review here. So what do I think of the new Smooth 3.2 model you ask?

I think the 3.2 elliptical is a nice, and worthy, upgrade over the 2.1 for a number of reasons I'll cover now.

Both the 3.2 and 2.1 ellipticals have eddy current breaking, a heavy flywheel, the patented foot pedals and a strong frame, but what sets the Smooth 3.2 apart from the 2.1 is a few extra goodies that I consider 'must haves' in a mid level elliptical.

Smooth CE 3.2 Elliptical Key Benefits and Specs:

Nine Programmable User Profiles
Wireless Heart Rate Monitor
Upgraded LCD Display w/ Dot Matrix
Electromagnetic Braking System
Heavy Gauge Oval Steel Frame
Nine Challenging Preset Programs
Sixteen Resistance Levels for forward and reverse motion
Tilt and Go Wheels for easy mobility
Ergonomic, Pivoting Foot Pedals
300 Pound User Weight Capacity
Lifetime Frame and Electromagnetic Brake warranty

The three upgrades on the Smooth 3.2 that make it a better value than the Smooth 2.1 are as follows:

(1) There are 9 programmable profiles you can set up on the 3.2. What this means is you can preprogram a specific workout in 9 locations, then hop on the machine and push a button to get started. Now that's convenient!

(2) In any elliptical in this price range, I consider having wireless heart rate control a necessity. The Smooth 3.2 has wireless heart rate control, where the 2.1 does not.

(3) The Smooth 3.2 display console makes tracking of your workout easier due to the larger LCD console that's built into the machine.

The Smooth 3.2 is a great value in this price range, and definitely a worthy upgrade over a very good Smooth 2.1 elliptical.
