Pros and Cons

It is often hard to find a good quality folding trainer – thats why NordicTrack came out with the foldable  SpaceSaver SE9i, which does not compromise high quality and great toys just to save some floor space. The signature NordicTrack SNAP assembly makes putting the machine together very easy, something that always gains plus points in consumer reviews.

Although one of the better quality machines from NordicTrack, it is not as solid and sturdy as other ellipticals in the same price range, and for this the NordicTrack SpaceSaver SE9i elliptical loses some points.

Our Recommendation

If going high tech is not so much a necessity, you might want to go for the AudioStrider 990 since it is very similar and considerably cheaper with its sale price of only $900. But of course, with its 7 web-enabled full color touch screen display, the SE9i is quite attractive.

The NordicTrack SpaceSaver SE9i elliptical trainer is regularly priced at $2,500, so we suggest you look around and try to score a deal at $1,500 for this great piece of exercise equipment.
