Interpreting treadmill comparisons

Almost every treadmill manufacturer will tell you that their product is the best in the category, it is only natural. And while they may even believe that this is the case, the only way to be sure is to perform a series of treadmill comparisons, to contrast the features that they offer, and also to uncover areas in which the competition might be better. In fact, they often carry out treadmill comparisons themselves, in an effort to convince the consumer, but how do you know whether they have neglected a specific area because it has a weakness?

Depending on how much money you have available to invest, you will be looking at a certain category of machine – in the low, medium or high quality brackets. It is important that any treadmill comparisons that you do take into account this important factor. On the other hand, while you cannot generally compare a high end machine with a low end one, sometimes an increase of just 10% in the price will bring additional features which will be of use in your home gym.

The three major points which should figure, and carry a lot of weight in any home treadmill comparisons are the motor, workout features, and space. Other aspects such as cushioning and smoothness of the ride, are important, but you can always do things to improve these, even in a budget machine, such as buying better running shoes.

The motor is important, and a figure of about 2 horse power is a good continuous duty rating, and it should come with at least a 1 year warranty. The next item on your treadmill comparisons list is the number of workout features – such as variable speed and incline, both adjustable from the central console. Finally, if space is an issue than you need to look for a folding treadmill, but be sure that the running board is still long enough for your stride.
