Conclusion for Bodyguard T240 treadmill review

Until now, we didn’t test a machine that has so many complex systems. It seems that Bodyguard has some advanced technology for each feature or functions. Maybe this is the road to success, since the Bodyguard T240 Treadmill is one of the best training machines we saw so far.

The treadmill comes with a powerful 2.75 CHP motor; one of the quiets devices we’ve tested so far. The belt is a 54 inches long one and we are very happy with the BDS cushioning system. We would like to see some extra inches in length but this is not a deal breaker.

The whole assemble features an Advanced Friction Detection System that will measure the friction level between belt and deck and prevent motor overheating. This system will extend your treadmill life with several years.

The treadmill can be controlled via several buttons made from silicone. They pretend that these keys will resist at over 5 million pushes. And we believe them……

The only minus we found for this treadmill is the absence of the Quick Speed and Incline keys. These are the buttons that let you set a certain value without pressing the up and down buttons.

Oh, almost forgot- the warranty is the best we’ve seen so far. Lifetime gives a lifetime guarantee for motor and frame, 10 years for parts and 3 year for labor. This will be very hard to beat.

As a conclusion for the Bodyguard T240 treadmill:If you want to buy a machine under $2000 and you see this model just buy it and don’t look at the rest. It is impossible to make a bad choice with this unit.
