The Weslo Cadence C44 treadmill is one of the worst machine we seen so far. It so bad that the regular economic units look like luxury ones compared to this one.

There are not many things we can say about Weslo Cadence C44. Just one question: Why someone would produce/buy a machine that will break in 30 days?

Conclusion for Weslo Cadence C44 treadmill review

Well the happy days are over. After we’ve tested some of the best machine on the market we received the Cadence C44 unit. And we are sad to say that is one of the weakest machines we ever saw.

We could simply say: Don’t even think to buy. But we have to give some explanations.

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

The top speed of this machine is 10 mph. A decent value you may say but at 10 mph you have the feeling that the whole assemble will collapse. A running session will feel like doing extreme sports.

The incline system comes with 3 preset values – 3,6 and 9 %.This mechanism worked on our case but we are not sure it will happen again in the future.

The motor is not powerful at all and the running area is very small.

For speeds up to 7 mph this unit manages to do a decent job. Over 7 mph it’s start to shaking and producing strange noises. Btw – the noise level is pretty high and annoying.

These conclusions were from day one. In the second day we started with a short walking workout. All good but when we wanted to jog the motor collapsed. And this was the end of our review process since we didn’t think it 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 this is one of the worst deals. You got one year for motor and 90 days for parts and labor.

As a Conclusion for Weslo Cadence C44 treadmill: this unit is a very good one ……. for dog training. If you have a Labrador and is cold outside you can use this machine instead of an outside walk.

Attention: this treadmill is not indicated for big dogs or humans.

DO NOT BUY IT.

Bodyguard T240 C Treadmill review

The Bodyguard T240 C treadmill is a variation of the T240 unit but has in plus an orthopedic belt that is very appreciated by some of the people. Same as the original model this unit is one of the best machines on the market and can be a valuable addition.

The Bodyguard T240 C treadmill has a little too big compared with his value and the T240 unit. But if you like orthopedic belts this machine can be an excellent solution.

Conclusion for Bodyguard T240 C treadmill review

The review for the Bodyguard T240 C is more like a continuation of the article we wrote about the Bodyguard T240 Treadmill.

As we say dint he beginning of this review the main difference between this unit and the T240 model is the orthopedic belt and the price. Some of you will love this belt others will hate it. So we strongly recommend testing this machine before buy it.

Also we think that the price difference is a little too high. The T240 C model is a little too expensive ($550 more) when you compare it with the original T240 model.

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 it you will not be disappointed.

Horizon T4 Treadmill review

The Horizon T4 treadmill features a generous running space and a 2.5 motor. The treadmill is non folding one and offer a decent quality for the money paid.

This machine comes with eight preset workouts that offers variety to the training sessions, and wireless heart monitoring system (chest strap is not included) for accurate tracking. The model features also the classic hand grips but as you probably know this system is not very reliable.

Overall the Horizon T4 treadmill is a decent machine but is far from being a top one. Is just a “middle” machine in the middle range class.


Horizon T4 Treadmill review

Horizon T4 Treadmill Specifications

1. Speed: 0-12 mph

3. Motor.

The Horizon T4 Treadmill can support a maximum user weight of 350 lbs.

The Horizon T4 comes also with the following: Wireless Heart Rate, Hand Grip monitor system and a rugged non-folding frame

Conclusion for Horizon T4 Treadmill review

The Horizon T4 Treadmill comes with a spacious running area that will easy accommodate the tall runners (the length is 60’’).The motor is a 2.5 CHP one which is powerful enough for the home runners. However we would expect a better model for this price.

Another problem for this machine is the noise level that is preaty high especially at high speeds.

The console has a nice design and all the features are easy accessible. The speed and incline can be set with a single touch via the side buttons and the LED matrix display offer a clear view of the training information.

The warranty is also another thing that could be improved. The time period is a medium one for this industry but that doesn’t mean they cannot extend it. Get the extended warranty if you decide to go with this model.

In conclusion we think that Horizon T4 Treadmill is not a top machine for this class. Also, is not the worst one; is somewhere in the middle. That means there are enough treadmills that are better and if you want o stick with Horizon go for a T6 model.

Conclusion for Sole F83 Treadmill review

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.

Bowflex 3 Series Treadmill review

The Bowflex 3 series Treadmill is the low end model in the Bowflex folding line .This line includes two other success models: The Bowflex 5 Series and the Bowflex 7 series. This machine doesn’t have a extraordinary design but compensate with the materials and components quality.

The Bowflex 3 series is entry level machine and the economy made by Bowflex is seen in the motor power (only 1.75 CHP) and some plastic components. Overall the machine doesn’t look bad but we will not recommend it to the ones that want to run. The 3 series is simply made for walkers or light trainers.

Conclusion for Bowflex 3 Series Treadmill review

The Bowflex 3 series is part of a series of folding treadmills created by the same company. There are the 3 series, the 5 series and the 7 series. As you probably realized from the name this model is the low end one.

The assembling of this model is very straightforward because the parts are labeled and the assembly pictures are really self explanatory. This is a heavy machine and is almost imposable to be moved by a single person. Make sure you have someone to help you when the treadmill is delivered.

This machine is part of a success series and you will see this as soon as you start using. Even if the motor is not a very powerful one it will easily do the job. The machine is a solid one and even if doesn’t have the spark of a Bowflex 7 series it will win your heart very fast.

Overall the Bowflex 3 series treadmill is a highly recommend machine for the one that have only $1000 to spend. If you a heavy trainer/runner and still want a Bowflex you can look for the 5 or 7 series.

Conclusion for Lifespan TR 3000 treadmill review

It seems that Lifespan did it again. The TR 3000 is one of the best machines you can buy for $1500.

This unit comes with a 2.75 CHP motor that is very quiet and backed by a lifetime warranty. The running area is a generous one (has 56’’ inches in length) and comes with 8 variable density elastomers. This system works very well and provides the much needed shock protection.

The console has a slick design and we like the futuristic look of the matrix display. The controls are easy accessible and in plus there are speed & incline keys mounted on handlebars.

The TR 3000 model comes with six incline and five preset workouts that have three different intensity levels. In plus there are two My Zone Heart Rate Control programs and a Body Mass Analysis.

Since this is a one of the best machines we tested so far we don’t have anything bad to say. The quality of the materials is excellent, the whole assemble is solid and in plus it comes with an impressive warranty.

As a conclusion for Lifespan TR3000 treadmill review: you can buy this machine with the eyes closed. You will not be disappointed.

PS: In the end we realized that we wished a 60’’ long belt. Many other inferior models have such belt so why not this one.
