What You Should Do
If you are just looking for the short answer as to whether you should buy or not, the answer at this point is don't buy. No experts and only one user have commented on this treadmill thus far. Why risk your money on something unproven? You're better off going with one of our best buys in the $1000 to $1500 price range where expert and user perspectives are much clearer.

But if you’re interested in how the Health Trainer HT802T would hold up, we can use that one user’s experience and draw some conclusions. First, let’s list what he said.
1. Broke after 9 months due to an incline motor problem.
2. User is training for a marathon.
3. User runs faster than a 7:30 minute per mile pace at times.
Nine months is equivalent to approximately 36 weeks. Since he's training for a marathon, let's say he runs around 26 miles per week in preparation for it (I'm using 26 since a marathon is 26 miles in total). A 7:30 minute per mile pace is equivalent to 8 miles per hour which is a running speed.
What this essentially means is that the user is RUNNING on the treadmill and has done so for 26 miles * 36 weeks = 936 miles . Since running is more damaging to the machine than walking by say, a factor of 2, and jogging is more damaging than walking by a factor of say 1.5, we can assume the machine will probably need repairs done on it after:
1000 miles for running (936 rounded up to 1000 for easy calculation)
1500 miles for jogging
2000 miles for walking
If you're a jogger that does 10 miles per week, that's 1500/10=150 weeks or about 3 years.
If you're a walker that does 10 miles per week, that's 2000/10*200 weeks or about 4 years.
A treadmill that lasts 3 years for jogging and 4 years for walking in this price range is about average. So you can assume the HT802 treadmill as an average choice in this price range.
*There are too many variables and unknown for the above to be accurate. There are also many assumptions in the previous illustration. The above is just one way to visualize how long a treadmill can last before breaking down and is by no means, definitive or precise.
There is currently insufficient information to determine a meta score for the Health Trainer HT802T treadmill.
