QUESTION:
I want to buy a treadmill but don’t know the best brand to get. I have been looking on the internet and have found the Smooth 7.35 but no one has ever heard of this brand. Was wondering if you could help me? I have a budget of about $1400. Thank you for any help you can give me.
ANSWER:
If you're set on buying a treadmill you're in luck because there is not much difference (if any) with the design of treadmills from brand to brand. They all can be set to go at a specific speed and incline and have various electronic controls to manipulate the intensity of each workout.
What you should worry about when choosing a treadmill is the build quality. Of course $7,000 commercial Precor or LifeFitness treadmills are going to be more durable than a machine designed for the home cardio machine market but you may want to look to those aforementioned brands if you want the highest quality build. You may be able to find gyms going out of business in your local area with discounts on previously used commercial equipment and get a deal.
If you want to buy a new machine in the price range you listed, your best bet is to search the most widely used vendor in the world, Amazon.com. The best part about looking on Amazon.com is you may find someone in a situation very similar to yours by browsing through the hundreds and thousands of reviews by people who actually bought the product. People also amend their reviews over time so you can really dig deep in some research.
