Treadmills - are you considering buying one? There are several factors to consider before deciding which treadmills suit your requirements. Belt size, speed, horsepower, displays, deck cushioning - all of these aspects can influence your choice from the large number of treadmills available. Treadmills can take a real pounding, if you are a serious indoor runner. Runner’s World top-rate the heavy-duty Precor M9.31 Treadmill. Its sturdy construction makes it feel like a treadmill you may find in a health-club, earning this model high marks for ergonomics, an oversized running surface, and an array of features that includes a heart-rate program. Precor Treadmills will give you an inch-thick deck and no weight limit, as well as controls that are so touch-sensitive that you don’t have to push on them. Precor's frame has a lifetime warranty, with a ten-year warranty on all parts and a one-year warranty on labor. If you have a limited budget, the Smooth 5.25 Treadmill is outstanding value. Its display panel is highly readable, and it folds up to save space. Incline and speed controls are on the hand grips, which makes adjustments safe and easy. Smooth Treadmills have a running surface which is smaller than the Precor’s, however, its 10-year motor warranty is twice as long as the motor warranty on Precor's.
