Summary of What The Experts Say

Experts don't seem to like the Endurance TF3i treadmill which is the folding version of the T3 very much. Direct quotes from the expert include "no compelling reason to be on the market" (when the T3 is already available) and "just tries to package it as something completely different" (than the T3).

What You Should Do

If you are seriously considering the Endurance TF3i, you are still looking at a treadmill made for walking or the occasional jog. If you don't care for the extra folding and heart rate monitor feature, you are better off buying the T3 treadmill instead. Experts are correct when they point out that the TF3i is just packaging itself as something completely different than the T3 and selling it for $200 more when all you get is the folding feature as well as a heart rate monitor. This does not justify the $200 more that it costs. You are essentially paying a premium for these features. [Click To See Rest of Review][Close Reviews]

If you must have the folding feature and you have set your sights on an Endurance T3, the Endurance TF3i is your only option. Otherwise, you really are better off getting an Endurance T3 without the folding feature. If you care for the folding feature but not so much for the lifetime parts warranty, entry models from Smooth and Sole might be better (both have comparable or better parts, is able to fold, and found for less.)
