You get 14 engaging programs, a built-in reading rack, and a large accessory tray. Additionally, the X6250HRT offers an adjustable incline ramp that gives you more variety in your workouts by allowing you to simulate hills, target different muscles, and increase intensity. more info

Very noisy with time

This machine will give you a great workout with the electronically adjustable incline, the arms and the ability to stride forward and in reverse. However my wife and I used it every day for ten months, often two hours between us per day, and as time went on it became noisier and noisier, with the console shaking too much to allow for reading and squeaking too loud to listen to music or watch television. The bolts in the post were tightened as much as possible but still the post and the console would shake. Obviously our machine had a defective frame. Whether this was simply a manufacturing defect in our machine or a design defect is an unknown. Nonetheless, Vision to its credit has a very responsive customer service department, worked with us to try to resolve the problem and when that was impossible agreed to take the machine back and shipped us the S7200 HRT suspension elliptical for the difference in price between the two.
Vision’s Suspension elliptical is the best I have ever used, and that includes the two vision ellipticals I owned in the past and those top of the line Life Fitness and Precors I have used at health clubs. It is smooth, quiet, allows for an extended stride, a very well designed adjustable incline and is quite simply awesome. One feature we like in the Vision products is the “Sprint 8″, which is a twenty minute high intensity interval program (a HIIT program), which I find is really making a difference for both weight control and increasing my fitness level. Having just used a commercial Precor while staying in an Embassy Suites, I find the visions “perfect stride” technology truly is superior to Precor. With the Vision, the articulating footpads keep my feet in a comfortable position throughout the rotation of the elliptical path. On the Precor, they rolled my feet up and down and forced the feet up when the incline was raised to higher levels. Maybe this is something regular Precor users get used to, but I didn’t like the movement. The Suspension elliptical is expensive, at $4000 or so with delivery and setup, although you can get it for less today on sale, but worth the money for a long term investment in one’s own health.

Personally I prefer a treadmill, yet I have found that ellipticals are great for recovery and are also great because the engage the entire corps with arms being part of the action.
