#NORDICTRACK ELLIPTICAL SPACE SAVER CHEAPEST MANUAL#
The user manual indicates that you should be able to comfortably lift 45kg in order to safely carry out this process, which tells its own story. NordicTrack has clearly thought about this and the folding system ensures that you’re never required to lift the heaviest part of the machine (the bit containing the flywheel) thereby minimising the effort required to get it into a vertical position, but you do still need to have a fair bit of strength to lift it. It’s a doddle to fold and unfold the SE7i but it takes somewhat more effort to tilt it up into the vertical storage position once it’s been folded. This is, very simply, down to the size and weight of this elliptical. However, the downside to folding and storing the SE7i has nothing to do with the folding part, but rather the storing bit. From a process point of view, it’s hard to see how it could be done any better. The process to fold and unfold this elliptical has been well thought through and it’s easy to see NordicTrack’s experience at work in the design with just two basic steps required to fold and unfold it. On this front, the Spacesaver SE7i isn’t perfect. Fail to make this process relatively simple and easy and quick, and after the first fortnight, it will be left in the open position forever, somewhat defeating the point of having the space-saving mechanism in the first place. The key thing, however, is how easy it is to get it into, and then back out of, its space-saving position.
The real question is, does this design really save space in a practical way? Most, if not all, of the ellipticals that we’ve come across which are labelled as space-saving really do save space when they’re folded up and out of the way. After all, this product hasn’t been created in order to be looked at and appreciated for its artistic value. The people at NordicTrack have done their best to make this machine look modern and clean and it works to a degree but there’s little doubt that this is very much a function over form affair. Looks-wise the Spacesaver SE7i is, functional-looking. Predictably, our test model was a touch creaky until it was sitting completely flat but once it was properly levelled, predictably again, the small amount of creaking we experienced vanished completely and didn’t return during testing. Failure to properly do this last bit almost always results in this type of elliptical making unwanted noises so we’d strongly recommend checking that it’s completely flat before spending time and money calling the manufacturer. Once you’ve done this you’re essentially ready to go, although it’s always a good idea to make sure that the leg levellers are properly adjusted and the machine is sitting completely flat on the floor. Incredibly for a machine of this size, that really is it. Once out of the box it’s a case of fitting the front and rear stabilisers and then unfolding the cross trainer, adjusting the arms and locking everything into position. In fact, the hardest part about the setup is getting the box into the room where you want to set this elliptical up. Thankfully it turns out that there’s no need for concern as the Spacesaver SE7i is actually almost fully pre-assembled and requires hardly any effort to set up. The Spacesaver SE7i doesn’t look particularly space-saving when it first arrives! Whilst not as gigantic as some other models we’ve tested, the box itself is big enough to trigger a little assembly anxiety. We took a look at one of their mid-price ellipticals, the NordicTrack Spacesaver SE7i to see just what you’re getting at a sub-premium price point. A reasonable question to ask then is whether they’ve loaded it with features and gone large on the specs at the expense of the quality of the overall build. It’s also a very good bet that on paper at least the NordicTrack model/s you’re seeing will appear to have class-leading specs and more features and functions than its competitors, yet at similar prices. When researching your next elliptical it’s a near certainty that sooner or later you’ll come across a NordicTrack model. Best UK Price Specification Pros and Cons Reviewers Ratings
