Health Trainer HT503T Treadmill Review and Price Comparison

Your Health Trainer HT503T Treadmill Buying Guide
Summary of What The Experts Say

Only one expert, Treadmill Doctor has reviewed the Health Trainer HT503T treadmill so far. Ratings are average across the board in pretty much all areas except for value. Even though the value (price) rating is above average, the Doctor thinks there are better deals to be had if you choose something from ICON Health and Fitness instead.

Summary of What The Users Say

Three out of four users think they have gotten a good deal out of buying it for below retail but this is not to be interpreted as the treadmill being problem free. Users have noted minor problems in the construction, noisy motor, difficulty in assembly and there was one case where the user's treadmill broke after 4 days of use.

What You Should Do

At this price, there's no compelling reason why you should choose this over models that are on the market today. You can choose something from Icon instead as one expert recommended or if you're willing to spend about two hundred dollars more, get yourself an Endurance treadmill for $1000 which comes with lifetime parts warranty. No matter what you do, you should know that for under $1000, you can only get a treadmill that's reliable enough for regular walking and jogging. Running would greatly shorten the treadmill’s lifespan and the Health Trainer HT503T treadmill is certainly no exception. [Click To See Rest of Review][Close Reviews]

If you place a lot of value in what one expert, the Treadmill Doctor says, then we should note that the Health Trainer Classic treadmill outranks the Health Trainer HT503T treadmill in all areas except for value (price). But as the reviews are slightly outdated, the HT Classic is now only slightly more expensive than the HT503T today and thus a better deal. If you originally had your sights set on a Health Trainer HT503T, we’re going to recommend you take a look at the Health Trainer Classic as a much better alternative.
