What
makes the ProForm 9.0 Competitor attractive is the 60" long
treadbelt. Usually treadmills with a 60" belt go for at least
$1,500. The extra length is a necessity for tall users - individuals
over 6'.
The ProForm 9.0 Competitor Features:
20 Workout Programs - You get a good range of workout
programs that control the incline and speed of the treadmill.
They provide variety to your workout. Four of the programs are
customizable, allowing you to create your own program and save
it for future use.
Adjustable Cushioning Deck - You can change
the absorption level from soft to stiff. You can adjust for either
a firm surface for a better push off or a softer surface for less
impact.
2.5 Continuous Duty HP Motor - They claim this
motor is commercial grade. The reality is you won't find a 2.5
hp motor in any treadmill in a commercial setting. This motor
is adequate for walkers and joggers. If you are a serious runner
you'll want to consider a treadmill with a 3.0 hp motor or better.
Generous Warranty - ProForm is not known for their warranty
coverage. They have generally provide below average warranties,
with the idea of selling additional coverage. Ninety days parts
and labor is often standard. The ProForm iLOG 550 treadmill comes
with a lifetime motor, 4 year roller, 2 year parts and 1 year
labor warranty.
The one feature I am not impresseed with is the console and display.
It is very basic, with a cheap display.
Our Review - ProForm 9.0 Competitor
Once again, a treadmill with a 60" belt for under $1,000,
makes this a contender. They rate this treadmill for up to a 300
lb. user. I would put the limit at around 230 lbs.
Another consider is the NordicTrack
C2550, which is built by the same company. They dropped the
price and last I looked it sold for $999. It has some very
impressive features for the money.
