In researching Nautilus NE 2000 Elliptical Reviews, more positive findings were mentioned than negatives. However, one negative opinion that was frequently read in reviews was that consumers felt like it was too pricey. The overall consumer opinion was that machine is high quality with smooth, gentle motion that provided a low impact workout.

Most fitness and health clubs keep their elliptical trainers for approximately 4-5 years. The commercial Precor Elliptical machine has an estimated life span of 10-12 years. When health facilities replace their older equipment with newer equipment, older is used as a trade in. At this point trade in has half of its life span left. The manufacturer then takes it and replaces parts and refurbishes it. This adds to elliptical trainers life span, while allowing manufacture to offer it at a lower cost to consumers. Another objective that this creates is that it boosts fitness clubs to replace their equipment more often, because manufacturer can turn around and resale refurbished Precor Elliptical trainer. The more demand there is on refurbished equipment, more trade in value to health clubs and fitness facilities.
