Treadmill Review Blog

When looking for the “Best Buy” for a treadmill, you want to consider a number of factors.  They include:

•  The Quality of the Treadmill
• How it Accommodates Your Fitness Goals
• The Warranty Coverage
• The Customer Service Reputation of the Company

The Quality of the Treadmill - Find a “Best Buy” treadmill, is about finding a reliable and durable machine.  The treadmill should have a good service record, and require minimal upkeep.  It should also have quality parts, like a powerful motor, solid deck and a durable treadbelt. 

Not all treadmills are the same.  Even though a $800 and a $1,500 treadmill might have the same size deck and the same horsepower motor, you will find the quality of the components are very different.  Like anything else, you get what you pay for. 

How the Treadmill Accommodates Your Fitness Goals - A “Best Buy” treadmill for walking can be very different than one for running.  Determine your level of fitness and your goals when buying a treadmill.  If you plan to casually walk and will be the only user, the type of treadmill you will require will be less expensive than one designed for running and/or multiple users. 

Warranty Coverage - When purchasing a treadmill look closely at the warranty.  It says something about the quality of the machine.  You want a treadmill that has at least one year labor and parts.  If you are considering a budget treadmill with 90-days parts and labor, plan on purchasing extended coverage.  We particularly like the Sole Treadmills.  Most models come with 2-year labor, 5-year parts and lifetime motor warranty.

Customer Service Reputation - Treadmills take a beating and service is often required during the lifetime of the machine.  That is why you want to buy from a company that has a good customer service reputation.  You can learn alot about the service through customer reviews. 

 When consider a “Best Buy” treadmill, you need to look at the entire package.  All the factors above can provide you with the best value for your money.
