The Weslo Momentum 220X elliptical is for those people on a budget who don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on a home fitness gym, especially when they aren’t in the habit of exercising and have doubts that they stick with a program.

But fitness equipment is not cheap and you should never scrimp on price. Otherwise, you’ll get stuck with a heavy piece of junk -- like this machine -- to haul out for the trash guys to pick up.

What You Get

The Weslo Momentum 220X elliptical has a bright LCD display window which tells you calories burned, as well as fat calories that are burned. The display also shows heart rate, speed, and time, and includes a feature to dial in resistance to make your workout more challenging. The rest of the specs include:

• SMR™ Silent Magnetic Resistance
• 10 Levels of Resistance
• 4 Personal Trainer Workouts
• Easy Pulse™ Heart Rate Monitor
• 18' stride
• Oversized Cushioned Pedals
• 90 day parts and labor warranty

The Word on the Street

UPDATE: As of 2016, it looks like Weslo is no longer making elliptical trainers.

Take a look at our list of Best Ellipticals Under $500 to find a good machine in this price range.

Experts point out that the Weslo Momentum 220X elliptical has every typical problem of a low-end machine: the frame stability is poor, the warranty is ridiculously short, it’s noisy, it’s unreliable, and it usually starts giving off a clicking sound or begins to squeak within weeks of purchase.

The Weslo Momentum 220X is the type of machine that consumers tend to try and fix with a can of WD-40 with limited results. These low cost units squeak badly and the bolts need to be tightened often by people who try to ride them daily.

You might, in fact, come across some positive Weslo elliptical reviews for this model, but keep in mind that these people are posting their thoughts after only a few days, or weeks, of use.

They should have waited with their opinions until the machine was broken in, because once this trainer shows signs of wear within 2 to 6 months, they are sorry they bought one.

Our Thoughts

The $299 Weslo Momentum 220X elliptical looks cheap, feels cheap, and sounds cheap. We can’t recommend this headache of a machine for anyone, not for themselves or to give to someone else as a gift.

With gym fees costing only $30-$50 a month, you’d be better off getting a six-month membership and getting in shape that way.

Quick Summary

The Weslo Momentum 620 is commonly found at massive retailers like Wal-Mart and Sears and lacks the quality that other ellipticals almost always guarantee.

The Weslo Momentum 620 is reasonably priced around $200 and features 10 levels of resistance (pretty good for price range), but is equipped with some cheaply made parts that are sadly only covered for 90 days.

The Momentum 620 will start you working out and eliminate gym fees but that’s about it.

Introduction

Based on the price, the Weslo Momentum 620 comes across as a steal.

The elliptical has a few decent features such as the Silent Magnetic Resistance and 10 separate resistance levels.

Weslo Momentum Parts

Unfortunately, the stride length is only 13 inches and unsatisfactory for a lot of larger body types and/or longer limbs.

Workout information such as speed, distance, time and odometer are displayed nicely with the LCD display, but you’ll get very little in terms of electronics.

Workout Programs

The Weslo Momentum 620 supports two workout programs that you personalize yourself as well as an EasyPulse Heart Rate monitor.

Simply place your thumb on the EKG sensor for your reading.

The Target Pacer also keeps you informed on when you need to pump it up and work harder or slow down the pace.

Weslo Momentum 620 Elliptical Features

The Weslo Momentum 620 requires assembly upon shipment and is extremely light at 96 lbs. Consequently, the trainer is very compact and easy to transport, though it’s difficult to trust the stability of an elliptical that weighs so little.

Easily the most attractive feature of the Momentum 620 is the adjustable levels of resistance that offers 10 different options.

Everything is displayed nicely on the clear LCD screen that tracks speed, time, distance, calories burned, fat calories burned and pulse. Adjust resistance levels with the digital control feature button on the console.

Step in and out of your elliptical more easily than ever before with the Step-Through Design. The Target Pacer is a great addition. It lets you know when you need to work a little harder or slow down.

Warranty & Guarantee

The Weslo Momentum 620 elliptical warranty and guarantee includes:

– Frame: 90 Days
– Parts: 90 Days
– Electronics: 90 Days

Conclusion

Weslo Momentum 7.0 Ex Elliptical Prices

These days, $250 is not much for an elliptical so the Weslo Momentum 620 will accomplish its primary goal — tricking a few people into buying a poorly made elliptical.

Weslo Momentum 750 Elliptical

You get what you pay for and with the measly 90 day warranty on frame, parts and electronics the Momentum 620’s longevity is definitely questionable.
