Smooth
5.65 Treadmill The Smooth 5.45 is designed to handle both walkers and joggers. It is equipped with a decent size motor, and has impressive shock absorption and stability for the price. The most important feature is how reliable and durable this treadmill is for $999. Smooth has always offered one of the best values at this price range.
$1,000 - $2,000
Sole
F80 Treadmill There are several reasons the Sole
F80 received the "Best Buy" at this price range. First,
the warranty is outstanding (Lifetime motor, 5-year parts and 2-year
service). Second, the Sole residential folding treadmills are used
by the Hilton chain for in-room fitness. If they can endure commercial
use, think what they will do in your home.
The F80 weighs a hefty 250 lbs., comes with oversized 2.75"
rollers, a 20" x 55" running surface, sound system and wireless
heart rate control. You can shop around, but you will not find a
better value. Overall, customer feedback on all Sole treadmills
have been very positive.
$2,000 - $3,000
Sole
F85 Treadmill Not trying to be redundant, we selected
the Sole F85 because it is an incredible value at $2,000 (Includes
Shipping). In addition to the industry leading warranty, you get
a powerful 3.5 hp motor, oversized rollers, premium console, sound system, wireless
HRC and a 60" extra long running surface. The F85 is excellent for tall
individuals and serious athletes, who want to sprint or interval
train. Once again, compare the features to other models and see
how they match up. The features, warranty and company reputation
makes this a "Best Buy."
$3,000 - $4,000
Landice
L7 Pro Sports Trainer Landice has been building quality treadmills for over 35 years. Their treadmills
are reknown for providing commercial grade for the home. That is
why they back their products with a lifetime warranty (1-year service).
The Pro Sports Trainer is one of their best values, receiving numerous
best buy reviews. Sold through fitness specialty stores.
Best TV Equipped Treadmill
Smooth 9.45TV The Smooth 9.45TV treadmill is an impressive running machine that also entertains. You get a 60" treadbelt, powerful motor and one of the best shock absorption systems in the industry. Unlike the mini monitors on other TV equipped treadmills, the 9.45TV comes with a 15" flat screen TV that sits at eye level. Evidence of the durability of this treadmill is the lifetime warranty on
parts, frame and motor.
