How long will the Precor EFX 222 with 5" High Contrast LCD last?
Built of welded steel with a powder coated finish, the Precor EFX 222 weighs a whopping 193 lbs. when fully assembled and has been tested with a maximum of 275 lbs. weight capacity. Precor has seen fit to cover the EFX 222 with a lifetime warranty on the frame and welds, 10 years on parts and wear items, 3 years on the console, and 1 year on labor which is generous in this price range but shows the faith they have in the lasting quality of their machine. It is tailored for moderate use and will last for at least a decade of workout delight with proper care and maintenance.
Brief Overview
The Precor EFX 222 is our 2022 3rd place Best Buy Winner for the $2,000 - $2,999 price range and is a top choice pick for a multitude of fitness level users. It is designed for residential use and carries the best warranty in the elliptical market. The EFX 222 is priced for even budget-conscious individuals and offers numerous amenities making it a worthy addition to any home gym.
Overall Quality
The Precor EFX 222 has a 5" High Contrast LCD screen that displays 12 points of feedback data and carries 10 built in workouts targeting weight loss, muscle toning, and building cardio health. It does have a tablet holder, but it does not connect to a streaming device to provide workout tracking nor is it Preva® network capable. There are 16 levels of resistance that target total body fitness and 3 levels of elevation: 15, 20, and 25 degrees, for intensifying workouts to the utmost. There are both moving and fixed handlebars with premium gripping, and they even capture heartrate for those needing to stay on target during exercise sessions. The stride is perfect to fit the majority of users at an 18" to 21" length. Equally important and desperately needed on many other machines, the EFX 222 comes with a child safety pedal lock.
