Conclusion for Horizon LS760T Treadmill review

This treadmill has a good motor, powerful enough to deliver a 10 mph speed. More than this, the motor is pretty quiet, a feature very appreciated by home users.

The LS760 Treadmill comes with a low top weight: only 275 lbs. Another minus is the belt. Its length is 50 inches which is enough for a normal person but if you are taller you could have problems.

The machine has 8 preset programs (one is custom and save) which is enough for any home user. There are no entertainment features but Horizon put an Mp3 player pocket which helps.

The Horizon LS760T is a simple and decent machine. It doesn’t come with something spectacular so if you plan to run or use it intensely, you should go for a better model.

Overall, this is a decent machine but if Horizon spins your pinwheel add $200 and go with the GS1035T model.

Weslo Cadence C44 Special features

Unfortunately, there aren’t any special features worth mentioning in this section.

.The Weslo Cadence C44 Treadmill can keep up a maximum user weight of 250 lbs LB.Also, the C44 model comes with the following: EKG™ Heart Rate Monitor, large LCD display and a folding system.

Conclusion for Weslo Cadence C44 treadmill review

Well, the happy days are over. After testing some of the best machines on the market, we received the Cadence C44 unit. Regrettably, this is one of the worst treadmills we have ever tested.

Here are some explanations so that everybody understands the bad review:

Let’s start with the assembly. It was a nightmare. Some of the handrail holes are not drilled in proper spots and we wasted a lot of time trying to get the test started.

The top speed of this machine is 10 mph. You may say that this is a decent value and you would be right. But at 10 mph you’ll have the impression that the whole assemble is on the point of collapse. A running session feels like doing extreme sports.

The incline system comes with 3 preset values – 3,6 and 9 %.This mechanism worked in our case but we are not sure it’s going to work for a longer period of time. Also, the engine is not powerful at all and the walking area is very small.

For speeds up to 7 mph, this unit manages to do a decent job. Over 7 mph it starts to shake and make strange noises. By the way, the noise level is pretty high and annoying.

The notes posted above are conclusions drawn from day one. In the second day we started with a short walking workout. All good so far, but when we wanted to jog, the motor collapsed. And it also was the end of our review process, as we didn’t think it was worth the effort to fix it and start again.

Since our unit was broken, we looked over warranty conditions and we can honestly say that they have one of the worst deals. You get one year for the unit’s motor and 90 days for its parts and labor.

As a conclusion for Weslo Cadence C44 treadmill: we don’t recommend buying this unit. If, by any chance, you decide to buy one, then you should stick to light training sessions only. That is, if you want to have the same unit for a second training session.

The Bodyguard T240 C treadmill is a little too expensive if you consider his value and the price of the T240 model. But if you like orthopedic belts you will not be disappointed.

Conclusion for Bodyguard T240 C treadmill review

The review for the Bodyguard T240 C unit is a continuation of the article we wrote about the Bodyguard T240 Treadmill (since the two models are very similar).

As we say in the beginning of this article the main difference between this machine and the T240 model is the orthopedic belt and the price. Some of you will love this belt, others will hate it. That’s why we strongly recommend testing this treadmill before the actual purchase.

Also, we think that the price difference is a little too high. The T240 C model costs $550 more than the original T240.

As a conclusion for the Bodyguard T240 treadmill review: The extra money you have to give for this model is the only serious minus of this machine. If you can afford the price and like the orthopedic belts, you will not be disappointed.

Conclusion for Horizon T4 Treadmill review

The Horizon T4 Treadmill offers spacious running area that can easily accommodate tall runners (the length is 60’’). The motor is a 2.5 CHP one, powerful enough for the home runners. However, we would have expected a better model for this price.

A fault we noticed at this machine is the noise level which can get pretty high, especially at high speeds.

The console has a cool design and all features are easy to access. The speed and incline can be set by a single touch via the side buttons and the LED matrix display offers a clear view of your training details.

The warranty is another thing that could be improved. The time period offered is standard for this industry, but this doesn’t mean they can’t extend it. We recommend going with the extended warranty if you decide to buy this model.

In conclusion, we consider Horizon T4 Treadmill a standard machine for its class. Think about it as somewhere in the middle. There are enough better treadmills on the market but if you want have a Horizon, go for a T6 model.

This treadmill is a Monster (in a good way). It is a very stable machine but you will need at least 2 strong men to move the package.
