5 Sites To Check Before Buying A Treadmill
Okay, it’s official. You have decided to get a treadmill. But before you actually write a check, you will want to read some expert and consumer reviews of the product that you’re planning on buying. Several online sites offer treadmill ratings and reviews, and here are five of the best in particular.
TreadmillDoctor.com
http://www.treadmilldoctor.com
This site outlines the best buys for your money. For instance, if you want to spend no more than a thousand dollars on a machine, you can come to this site to check out the best buys with a price range of $500 to $1000.
Each category offers information about four different machines - the best buy and the runners up - in order to give you a few choices. Additional categories include “Best Folding Treadmill” and “Best New Product.” Thus a treadmill rating is based on considerations such as strengths, weaknesses, power, cushioning, noise level, and so on.
Prevention Magazine

This is a website where the editors of prevention magazine offer their comments and reviews regarding eighteen different models of treadmills. They then choose the seven best treadmills based upon predetermined criteria. Some of the categories are size, warranty, and the special features of each machine. The editors also add their own personal choice for treadmill and reviews for it.

Another helpful stop is the “Buyer’s Guide” which clues you in on what to look for when buying a treadmill.
