Question: Buying a treadmill?


Question Description:
I am planning to buy a treadmill and I narrowed down my options to these four treadmills. Does anybody have experience with these treamills?EPIC 800MX $799IRONMAN 220t $725SMOOTH 5.25 $999ProForm XP Treadmill, Crosstrainer 680 $599

Answer#1: The Epic and Proform are both made by the same company, Icon Health & Fitness, which is known for producing some very poor quality equipment. The best brand of the bunch you mentioned is Smooth. Check out the treadmill buying guide link below. It might help you out a bit with your search.The Treadmill Senseihttp://www.treadmillsensei.com


Answer#2: Treadmills vary in their motor power,if you are a heavy person,be sure to purchase a treadmill that will support your weight and more,otherwise,the motor will burn out very quickly with the constant pounding if it's not made for your weight class
