Pros

Treadmills411 Editor Comments

Decent warranty

Limetime warranty on frame and motor plus a 1 year parts and labor warranty. May be common but still worth mentioning considering the price tag of the T91.

2-ply belt ComfortZone air cell cushioning

Not many treadmill in the price range comes with multi-ply belts so this is worth mentioning as other manufacturers deliberately do not state the belt plies .

Fans, quick speed/incline buttons, FeatherLight lift system with hydraulic shocks

These features are built for the user's convenience. Considering the $567 price, only few treadmills can give your these features.
