Landice E7 Elliptical Review

The Landice E7 is a popular high-end elliptical trainer for home use. It’s known for smooth motion, useful workout programs and exceptional durability. Besides all that, the newest models are enhanced with Bluetooth connections for RunSocial virtual hikes and RunKeeper data logging. Optionally you can add a Landice TV, your own TV or your own tablet computer to enhance workout sessions.

The E7 elliptical is identical to the Landice E9 chosen for health clubs, except it lets you save user profiles, and for home use it carries a lifetime guarantee. The factory-direct price is $3,495 including delivery and installation.

Excellent basics for the E7 elliptical are a 21” stride and 20 resistance settings. Holding the moving handlebars as you walk or run, you can achieve a total-body workout at any intensity. Thanks to the E7’s zero-impact ergonomics (even better than low impact!) people find that they can exercise for longer-than-average time periods before tiring.

The Landice Cardio control panel tops the E7 elliptical for 2018. This workout panel supplies 10 customizable preset workout programs, has three fitness tests, and lets trainees save seven unique routines each. With Bluetooth you can add interactive video workout programs from RunSocial. Virtually hike the planet! RunSocial shows your avatar moving through high-definition footage of gorgeous destinations such as Joshua Tree National Park, Sequoia National Forest, downtown London and rural Tuscany.

The Bottom Line

The Landice L7 is a top choice for many shoppers with above-average elliptical budgets. It’s gentle to your knees, supports all ability levels, provides excellent on-board training and testing, and is a “connected fitness machine” with Bluetooth for RunSocial mixed-reality workouts and RunKeeper data sharing. The main potential drawback is that the stride is a bit long for petite trainees. For alternatives see other high-end ellipticals with residential warranties.
