Epic T40 Treadmill Review

• HealthRider

The Epic T40 is a monster of a treadmill with a television. In the next year or so you can expect many more treadmill manufacturers to come out with models that have TVs. Heck it gets boring running in place, so most people need some type of distraction.

They describe this treadmill as commercial quality. Being a Icon product we are a bit leary of any of their treadmills being up to commercial standards. Many treadmills make that claim for home units, but in reality there is no way they could holed up to 5 - 10 hours of use a day. Below are the specs on T40:

The Epic T40 offers a flat screen LCD TV . With 15 preset programs, a fitness test program and heart rate driven programs to vary your workout, you’ll get some variety and challenges. We're surprised that this treadmill doesn't have the Icon Ifit.

Treadmill Ratings and Reviews Comments on the Epic T40

The T40 Treadmill has a hefty motor, if that is the actually specs. It has a generous deck. The 3.5" rollers are the biggest in the industry and should reduce stress on the motor, extending it's life. What is amazing is the weight at 543 lbs. This machine is a tank. One year warranty on belt and deck is weak.

Our only concern is Icon's reputation for using cheap parts. But they may have been generous on this model.

At this price range we suggest you also check out Landice, the Smooth 9.25HR and 9.25X and True treadmills.
