Horizon T4 Treadmill review

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

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.

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 Horizon T1200 Treadmill review

This Horizon model is going for the ones that want to do walk or jog workouts and in the same time want to pay a moderated price for the treadmill.

You have to appreciate his powerful 2.75CHP motor. Is more than enough for a home gym and is also a quiet one. Another good thing is the belt which has an advances cushioning system and is large enough for an average person. If you are a tall person you should consider a treadmill that has a 60’ inch belt (instead a 55” one).

The console has a nice design with six Led readouts which monitor speed, time or calories. There speed and incline can be controlled very easily via the quick keys. The console comes also with a good sound system and an iPod dock which let you play your favorite toones while training.

The powerful motor and the nice design made this model one of the top for the midrange class. Horizon did a really good job when they built this machine and that’s why we consider it a great solution for the $1300 price range.

Conclusion Horizon T900 Treadmill review

Before tell you the conclusions for this review here is how the producers and retailers plays with your money .This is also called marketing.

If you go to Horizon site you see this unit listed at $2199.When we saw this price we expected a super duper machine. We were ready to start testing this treadmill when we decided to look at dickssportinggoods.com – the only retailer for this machine.

And… Surprise. They had the machine listed at $1099($2199 was listed as the “old” price).Half the price listed by Horizon.

They try to trick us in thinking that we found a fantastic deal and we can buy a 2k machine for a half of her price. If the percent for the discount was lower we could fall for it but here is not the case…

So before to start the conclusion let’s get a thing clear. The value of the machine is really $1099. Is not $2199 and if they had the idea to list this treadmill with this price they didn’t sell a single unit.

Now- for the $1099 we have a good machine. The motor comes with 2.5 CHP, is powerful and comes with a lifetime warranty. Also, the noise level is a decent one.

The running area has 55 inches length, although we’ve expected a 60 inches one. Oh… wait this is not a $2199 machine. The cushioning system is a Variable 4-zone one that provides great comfort and superior protection.

The only thing that differentiate this machine between the others $1000 Horizon treadmills is the sound system and the iPod dock. The speakers are not the best you can find but can provide a decent sound and will do the job.

Nothing new in rest. There are 13 built in workouts that cover all training areas and that are monitored by the Etrack system. The warranty is not a very good one so go for the extended version if you decide to purchase this unit.

As a conclusion for the Horizon T900 Treadmill we say that beside the dumb marketing move by dickssportinggoods.com and horizon this is a good machine. For the $1099 price you will get a good folding treadmill that will satisfy light users.

This machine has a big problem. The belt size is too short(only 50 inches).So if you are planning to run or you are a tall person look for another model. This one is not for you.

The Horizon T500 has also the following functions and features: Large, heavy frame, Clear LED screens display, contact heart rate grips and Hydraulic lift assist.

Conclusion Horizon T500 Treadmill review

First of all we need to underline the fact that this treadmill is a budget machine. That means you will not pay much but you also will not get too much.

The motor is a 2.0 CHP which is enough for walkers or light runners. We liked the fact that is not making too much noise but in the same time we observed that it doesn’t have enough power to keep up with a runner.

The belt is something we didn’t appreciate.If the cushioning system is allright for the budget category the walking area is way too short.If you plan only to walk you should be ok but do not think you can jog or run on this machine.It simply not build for such thing.

Also we didn’t push this machine so far but it seems that the 275lb maximum user weight is an exaggerated value.

This treadmill has some strong points also. These are the Etrack systems that will monitor your workouts and provide you will usefull information.We also liked the mp3 dock and the 9 built in programs.

In conclusion: The Horizon T500 treadmill is a budget machine made ONLY for walkers. And even so you can find better alternatives that will do the same thing but better. If you still want to get this model take the extend warranty.

Horizon WT751 Treadmill review

The Horizon WT751 model is far from what a good machine means (even a budget one).It comes with only 2.0 CHP but with a generous walking area and an advanced & reliable cushioning system.

The HorizonWT751 is a basic budget model. His strongest points are the cushioning systems and the console design but these 2 things cannot change the bad image we develop during testing.

This treadmill can offer a top speed of 10 mph, easily adjusted via the quick speed buttons,

The Horizon WT751 Treadmill can handle a maximum user weight of 300 lb.

The Horizon WT751 comes also with the following: bright blue backlit LCD screen, hydraulic lift assist, variable cushioning and hand grip hear monitoring system.

Conclusion Horizon WT751 Treadmill review

Unfortunately The WT751 model is not something we can recommend. This treadmill is a budget unit that don’t have anything special and is somewhere in the middle of the top for the under $1000 category.

The motor has only 2.0 CHP and can satisfy only walkers. We simply don’t see this machine keeping up with a jogger or a runner. In plus it’s a little noisy.

The running area and the cushioning systems are maybe the best features for this model. The WT751 features a 55” (in length) belt and the Air Cell Cushioning system. The Air Cell tech is pretty advanced and works very well.

The console has a futuristic design but this doesn’t save the negative image given by treadmill performance. There are 7 preset workouts that include 5k or 10k distance workouts and that work with the wireless pedometer.

The warranty is also a poor one and there are no entertainment features.

The Horizon WT751 is just a basic treadmill that doesn’t show many good things. Is true- we seen worst but that doesn’t mean we will recommend this unit. You have plenty of choices for this price so try to find a better model.

Horizon T800 Treadmill review

The Horizon T800 Treadmill features a good 2.5 CHP motor and spacious belt that is sustained by an advanced cushioning system. It seems that Horizon try to target the young people with this model because they provide vibrant & funky color combinations for this machine.

The machine comes also with a sound system and an mp3 dock as entertainment feature. Eleven preinstalled workouts and the Etrak system will cover the training area. The warranty is not a very strong point so if you decide to buy this model go for an extend one.

Horizon T800 Treadmill is Available exclusively at Dick’s Sporting Goods

The Horizon T800 Treadmill has user capacity of 300lbs.

The T800 also features a: Contact Hand Grip heart monitoring system, console speakers with MP3 input, large & heavy frame and 5 Yellow Green LED Window.

Conclusion Horizon T800 Treadmill review

Doing this review we notice something strange. This treadmill was $1799.99 at www.dickssportinggoods.com and now is it $899.99.That means a 50% price discount. Most of the time a big discount means that the machine is not a success one and the merchant try to get rid of their stocks.

That is the case here. This machine doesn’t worth $1799.But… At $899, this treadmill becomes a good buy.

The machine is powered by a 2.5 CHP which is powerful enough to sustain walking or light jogging workouts. Again, this motor is a good one for the $899 price and a disappointment for the $1799 price.

The belt offers a generous space and most of the users will feel comfortable training on this treadmill. Tall persons may want to look for another model that has a 60 inches belt since this one may be too short for them.

We also like the TRIFlex cushioning system that it a very good one when it comes to shock absorption.

Horizon installed 11 preset workouts and the ETRAK technology. The preinstalled training programs will give you enough options while the ETRAK system will help you monitor the progress.

There is also a sound system but I wouldn’t hope for a crystal sound. This machine is still a budget one.

Warranty is the week point of this model. Lifetime warranty for motor is a very good feature but in the same time you receive only one year guarantee for the parts. If you decided on this model get the extend warranty also.

As a conclusion for Horizon T800 Treadmill review: This model is good one if you pay for him $899. By no means don’t pay $1799 on it or consider it a medium class treadmill. This is a budget machine that offers a good quality and we definitely recommend it.

Horizon T81 Treadmill review

We weren’t very confident when we started the Horizon T81 Treadmill and it seemed that we were right. The machine is budget one and is far from what we’ve expected for the price paid.

The Horizon T81 Treadmill features a decent 2.0 CHP motor and can provide a normal top speed and incline. So far so good, but then we saw the belt. It has only 50 inches in length which make this machine unusable for running.

In rest, the T81 has decent but budget features like: 8 preset programs, a blow fan and the heart contact grip.

horizon t81 treadmill review

Horizon T81 Treadmill Specifications

1. Speed: 0-10 mph
The Horizon T81 Treadmill can offer a top speed of 10 mph, a value high enough for most of the home users.

2. Inclination: 0-10%
The elevation system can supply a top incline value of 10%.The value can be set with a single touch via 10 side buttons and with a 0.5% increment with the classic controls

3. Motor
This treadmill is powered by a 2.0 CHP quiet motor that comes with 20 years of warranty.

4. Belt 20” x 50”
The Horizon T81 treadmill features an 50 inches long &2 ply belt. The deck comes also with a COMFORTzone Air Cell cushioning system that will increase your training comfort.

5. Warranty
This machine comes with a lifetime warranty for frame, a 20 years one for motor and a 1-year for parts and labor.

horizon t81 treadmill console

Horizon T81 Treadmill Special features

8 preset programs
When you use this model you can chose between 7 preset workouts or create a custom workout. The 7 preset workouts focus on weigh loss or fitness.

COMFORTzone Air CELL
This is an advanced cushioning technology that will increase joint protection and in the same time provide a superior comfort and high stability.

The Horizon T81 Treadmill can sustain a maximum user weight of 275 lbs.

The Horizon T81 has also these features: Blower fan, large & heavy frame, Orange backlit LCD screen and Contact heart rate.

Conclusion Horizon T81 Treadmill review

The performance and features of this treadmill sustain the idea that it can be used only for walking workouts. This is clearly a machine that is made for beginners that look for a budget solution.

The motor provide only 2.0 CHP which may be more than enough if you only want to walk but the power is under the running requirements. Anyway the noise level is pretty low and that’s a big plus.

What we didn’t like is the length of the belt: 50 inches. Just by adding 5 inch in plus they could dramatic change the machine ratings. But for now we just say that this is big minus. The small belt situation is somehow saved by superior cushioning systems that use the COMFORTzone Air CELL technology.

The console features 8 built in workouts (one is a custom) that can add enough variety to your training sessions. There are no other training features but this machine is budget one after all.

There is also a blow out fan and a contact grip heart monitoring system. The fan doesn’t have enough power and the monitoring system doesn’t offer accurate readings all the time. We are not really surprised because these are well known problems for these features and you will see them on other model and brands.

The warranty is not a good one: only one year for parts and labor. Don’t forget to get the extend warranty if you decide to buy this model.

After the Horizon T81 Treadmill review we can say that this is definitely not a success model. It’s true, is budget machine, but we are sure you can get better deals on other brands or models.

Horizon T700 Treadmill review

The Horizon T700 Treadmill features a good 2.25 CHP motor that will have enough power to sustain medium training session and in the same time produce a low level noise. The machine also comes with a decent running space and with a good cushioning system.

This model also features some nice training features. Eleven built in workouts that cover all types of training plus the ETRAK system will help you reach the proposed goals.

This is budget treadmill so do not expect to get a very good warranty. Make sure that you go for a extended one if you decided to buy this model.

The Horizon T700 Treadmill is available exclusively at Dick’s Sporting Goods.

The Horizon T700 Treadmill can support a top user weight of 300lbs.

The T700 also features a: Large, heavy frame, Clear LED screens display and heart monitoring system (Contact Hand Grip)

Conclusion Horizon T700 Treadmill review

This machine is a surprisingly solid unit, specially made for walkers. Do not expect you can run on it since we don’t think that the 2.25 CHP will keep up with you. After all this is still a budget model and you cannot expect to get a Ferrari for the money you pay on a Chevrolet.

The running space is pretty generous, and is wide and long enough for most of the users. However, tall persons may not be so satisfied since the bell has only 55 inches in length.

The training features are looking very good. You have 11 preset workouts that cover weigh loss, interval or cardio trainings and in plus the treadmill features the ETRAK system. This one will monitor all your training sessions and offer detailed reports for any time period you want(including lifetime).

There also a sound system installed with a mp3 dock. Again this is a budget model so don’t expect to get a crystal clear sound. But, is nice to have them, especially for this money.

When we started the Horizon T700 Treadmill review we didn’t expect to give such a positive review. The machine is solid, has a good engine and a very good cushioning system. Originally the price for this model was around $1599 but now they drop it at $799.For almost $800 this is a very good deal and we highly recommend the machine.

Horizon T6 Treadmill review

The Horizon T6 Treadmills features a good & powerful 3.0 CHP that power a spacious a 60 inches long belt. These two core features make the T6 model a good one.

This machine features also two heart monitoring systems. A hand grip one and wireless system with a Polar receiver and a chest strap. These systems will help you a lot when you will use the 10 preset programs.

During the Horizon T6 treadmill review we were a little surprised when we noticed that this model offers too little for his price. The machine is a solid one and we are pretty sure that it will satisfy a heavy trainer but is a little too expensive.

The Horizon T6 Treadmill can keep up with a top user weight of 400 lbs.

The Horizon T6 has also the following functions and features: Rugged, non-folding frame, LED dot-matrix display and Contact Hand Grip heart monitor.

Conclusion Horizon T6 Treadmill review

The T6 Model comes with a good and powerful 3.0 CHP motor. This is a quiet one and will deliver all the power you need. No problems in this area.

The running space is very generous. It is a 20 inches wide and 60 inches long and will satisfy all type of runners. Now for the money we have to pay for this model we would expected an mode advanced cushioning system. The T6 model has a Tri-zone, Thick elastomer cushioning system. A little disappointing.

What we like on this machine is that they covered the training functions pretty well. Horizon installed 10 preset workouts that cover cardio, weight loss or performance training. And in plus the T6 comes with heart monitoring system including a wireless one (chest strap included).

A little disappointing is the fact that we don’t see a sound system or a mp3 dock. For this money we should get one. Also no cool out fan…Commo’on . This is a $2000 machine- we don’t expect a flat screen but not even a small fan….

The conclusion for the Horizon T6 Treadmill review: the machine is kind of basic and costs a little too much. We can complain too much about her performances but we think the price is exaggerated. For this money you got plenty of options.

Conclusion Horizon GS1040T Treadmill review

The Horizon GS1040T Treadmill presents itself with a very attractive design and with a quality promise. And, is not far from that goal. The model incorporates enough fitness tools for a home user and in plus comes with a sound system and built-in fan (why do they bother to add these fan if they don’t have enough power).

This machine is in Low midrange class. That means you will good receive a good value for the money paid, it will fully satisfy a home trainer but in the same time will not do any wonders.

The GS1040T has a nice design, a powerful motor and a spacious belt. But if you are planning intensive use or long running sessions you should look for other models or brands.

Overall, we consider the Horizon GS1040T Treadmill a good machine for a home gym but don’t expect too much from it.
