iFit Live Built-in with 7" android browser

The Elite 15.1 offers everything you'll find on the Elite 12.0 but this big brother comes with the new iFit Live module and a 7" touch screen browser. It's android-powered so you can check emails, watch videos on YouTube, read news, or socialize with friends while enjoying all the features of iFit Live. This tandem works so well with Workouts powered by Google Maps. 

Adjustable stride 20" to 22"

Majority of elliptical machines available in the market have fixed stride lengths. Only a few offer multiple or adjustable stride lengths and the Elite 15.1 counts among them.  Choose between 20" to 22" to focus on different muscle groups. This is also good news for homes with users of different stature.

Decline ramp -10 to 20 degrees

The Elite 15.1 offers not just a 20% incline but also a -10% decline feature. At this point, only a few ellipticals have this feature that simulates a downhill terrain and adds another variety of challenge to your workouts.

24 programs

While many ellipticals priced between -$1000-$1500 have less that 12 programs, you get 24 with the Elite 15.1. This gives you more workout options and gets better results faster.

Good overall warranty

You get a better value for your money when it comes to this product's warranty. You get lifetime on frame, 5 years on parts, and 2 years on labor - all of which are above-average in consideration to the price. Brakes warranty though is not mentioned but since its website says it's magnetic and frictionless, no actual contact is made to the so it's not likely to break down soon.

Built-in sound system, fans, handlebar controls, wireless chest strap

The Elite 15.1 offers a quartet of add-ons usually offered separately by other ellipticals. It has a built-in sound system, cooling fans, handlebar controls, and a wireless heart rate monitor chest strap. These features give you an entertaining and more comfortable workouts

375 lb user weight limit

This elliptical's maximum user capacity is considered above average for the price but can't be relied upon too much since the elliptical's unit weight is unknown. For safety reasons, we won't suggest maximizing this allowance unless you feel this machine is sturdy enough for you.

Cons

Unit weight unknown

This is expected from Nordictrack. They don't usually disclose information regarding some of its components' weight. Most of the time, it's the machine's actual weight and flywheel weight. This results to deductions since these unknowns have something to do with quality and durability.
