Elliptical Misses: Drawbacks of the Precor 5.19

Overall Rating for the Precor EFX 5.19 Elliptical
The EFX 5.19 elliptical is a reliable elliptical, partly because of its low-maintenance rear flywheel. Compared with the 5.17i, it offers arm bars for cross training plus a longer stride. Some users would prefer the adjustable inclines of other Precor ellipticals, but this cross trainer is a great buy overall.
