Horizon CST 3.5 Treadmill Review

Our Review

We found the CST 3.5 selling for $800, with inside delivery at Dick's Sporting. That is an attractive price. We tested this model and found it adequate for walking workouts. It is not the most solid feeling treadmill, but hey it cost $800.

Note: I got a call from a owner of the CST 3.5 asking how to align the treadbelt. I called her back and found out she called the customer service number and got a recording explaining the simple repair. Apparently this is a common problem, but can be fixed in minutes.

Customer Reviews

We purchased a Horizon CST 3.5 approximately one-and-a-half years ago (in August of 2006). We have had no problems with this machine, and the customer care has been impeccable. Shortly after our purchase, we had our basement redone, and our contractor accidentally threw out the box with the tools and lubricant in it. When we contacted Horizon to order another box, they sent it free! I also contacted them recently through the web and they replied within 24 hours. My only complaint is that the HR monitor can take up to a minute to find your heart rate. Maybe it s my hands, or the sensors need cleaning, but I have found this to be a consistent problem since purchase. Other than that, it is quiet, consistent and has useful workout programs, each with multiple levels of difficulty. We would purchase a Horizon treadmill again.
