Spirit SL218 Treadmill Review

  About Fred Waters

Regular price: $1,199.00

Note: the Spirit SL218 is no longer available. Spirit has a reputation for building a good solid treadmill. Unfortunately they recently have converted all of their manufacturing overseas and their new treadmill are unproven. Experience with other manufacturers that have moved the production overseas often results in poor quality control. I would give it a year to see how the new designs prove themselves.

At this price range you may want to look at comparable Smooth or Trimline treadmills. Or consider the upgrading to the Spirit 240 model.

The SL218 is designed for walking or light jogging.
