What's This?
Your Body-Solid Endurance T6iHRC Treadmill Buying Guide
Summary of What The Experts Say
The treadmill has the best cushioning and the most features of all the models in the Endurance line up. Everything else including, noise, reliability, stability are the same or actually a little worse than the T3 or T4. Experts aren't too impressed with the price either resulting in not a lot of value for the money spent. (When the experts reviewed this treadmill, this was the top of the line model but the T8 and T10 have since been released making their reviews a bit outdated.)

What You Should Do
When the experts reviewed this, the price was hovering around $2000 to $2500. This has since gone down to $1799 which is quite a huge difference. But how does the Endurance T6iHRC compare to its lesser models, the T4i and the T3? The T4i which can currently be found for $1499 is $300 less. So what are you getting with the T6iHRC that you're not getting with the T4i?

1. Heart Rate Control
2. One more inch to the width of the belt
3. 4 More Programs for a total of 20
Whether the above things are worth the extra $300 really depends on the buyer. However, I would question whether you really need the extra 4 programs when you already have 16 with the T4i? Are you going to use the heart rate control? Is one inch to the width of the belt really worth $100?
As you may know, the T4i is not rating too well at its current price either. Also, this treadmill and the T4i both use the same 53 inch belt length which is not quite long enough for running. When you're shelling out over $1799, you really should be expecting a treadmill that you can run comfortably on.
Verdict: If you need a treadmill to walk on, get an Endurance T3. If you need a treadmill for light jogging, the T3 would still hold up well OK. The T4i and T6iHRC can take more abuse but are overpriced. For running, none of the models are a particularly good choice. If you're looking for a treadmill to run on, there are better choices in this price range from other brands.
