TTQ B4U Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Our current one is 12-13 years old and I have a feeling will be needing replacement or perhaps just a good belt adjustment, however, I'm trying to prepare. Anyone know of good brands or models to consider? Looking to stay in the $500-$1000 range. Anything more would be great, but likely outside the needs we'll throw at it. Best stores to check out appreciated too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky31186 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 We bought a livestrong treadmill from dicks at Easton. It was in the 1000$ range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might be in touch. landice, if you can stomach the cost. lifetime warranty on the motor/belt. Look great, but overkill for us I think. Like buying a dump truck to do my yard work. Why need to pay for something that is free? Because the convenience of training in my lower level > than any weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I've had a pro-form something ($750?) and it's been decent for the last 5 years. Only goes up to 10mph, and the incline had to be fixed under warranty, but it's been trouble-free since then. I have no idea what the life expectancy on a treadmill is, but if all you need is the belt adjusted that is very easy to DIY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the belt has stretched over time though. It's just starting to separate on the edges on one side too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
