How long will the True M50 last?

The True M50 Elliptical has a stalwart 276 lb. weight when fully assembled and holds up to a maximum of 300 lbs. workout capacity. It is designed for a multiple consumer household with moderate use and will last for at least a decade with proper care and maintenance. True lavishes a substantial lifetime warranty on the M50 with a decent 5-year coverage on parts and 1 year on labor. Consumers looking to extend the life of their machine should unplug and wipe down after each use.

Brief Overview

Those with smaller abodes will enjoy the compact frame on the True M50 Elliptical bringing a sleek look into any residential workout setting. Built for comfort from the ergonomic handlebars to the oversized pedals, the M50 is a marvel of functionality and grace wrapped up in a heavy steel frame covered by a more than generous lifetime warranty. The M50 is a previous Best Buy Winner and remains a strong contender to this day due to the streamlined design and patented heart target workouts.

Overall Quality

The Emerge Console is the only choice for the True M50 Elliptical and it is a basic console with a retro look that contains 12 built-in programs, including the patented HRC® Cruise Control that controls heartrate levels, along with the Cardio 360™ that targets total body or sole upper or lower body workouts when desired. The M50 has the True unique Core Drive® system in a sleek upright frame offering high performance and a longer 21” stride that favors a larger consumer base of fitness fans. The pedals are orthopedically cushioned for comfort during trekking sessions and work with the multi-grip handlebars to target a large range of muscles during exercise sessions. Side steps are textured for security during upper body toning sessions and allow consumers to safely mount and dismount with a 9” step up height.
