I will be in the market very soon to purchase a remanufactured/refurbished elliptical machine for my home. I am fairly heavy and want something that is used in gyms. I am looking at some Precor models like the 544 and 546 and was hoping to get suggestions if these are not what I should be looking at. I like the idea of this over a treadmill to reduce impact on my feet.

Also, if anyone has suggestions on places to order these from, I would appreciate it. I've heard stories of some fly-by-night organizations that deliver sub-standard equipment or none at all.

Thanks in advance.

Read your post....don't know where to order. I go to the gym and use several of those machines but don't pay attention to names. What does this equipment do?

I bought the Eclipse 1000HR, I really like it, although it did take some getting used to, I had been using a treadmil for 2 years, it took me a few weeks to get used to the Eliptical. I know JC Penny sells it for around $400.
