Affordable treadmill |
If you're looking for a budget treadmill you intend to use from time to time, the M100 will be a very good choice because of its affordable price tag of just $449. |
|
2.0 HP motor |
A 2.0HP motor is something a $449 treadmill can be proud of. Many treadmills in this price range only feature 1.6HP to 1.9HP motors. It's sufficient enough to power the 16" x 50" belt. |
|
10MPH max speed and 12 incline levels |
Considering the price of the M100, a 10MPH max speed and 12 levels of incline counts among its strengths since not many treadmills priced below $500 offer this speed and incline combo. |
|
Contact heart rate monitor |
The M100 features an integrated heart rate sensor for you to monitor your performance and maximize results. You get to burn more calories when you keep your heart rate pumping at a certain specified level. |
|
Folding feature, cushioning, quick speed and incline buttons on handrails |
These features may be common for many treadmills but put together, they can be considered as one strength especially for a $449 treadmill. |
Cons |

|
Limited belt space at 16" x 50" |
The M100's belt space is very limited at 16" x 50". This is below average than what's ideal but you can see that the affordable price has its downside and in this case, the belt space is among the components that suffers. |
|
Poor overall warranty with questionable quality |
This treadmill comes with just a 5-year motor warranty and gives just 90 days on parts and labor. With a warranty so short like this, you can't help but question its quality especially when the machine is very light at 130lbs and with rollers measuring just 2 inches in diameter. We're not really sure if it can hold up to a 225lb weight capacity. |
