Pros |
Treadmills411 Editor Comments |
|
Heavy treadmill |
320 lbs. Heavy treadmills are more sturdy. |
|
Strong parts warranty |
7 years is among the longest warranty for parts. |
|
22" belt width |
Not many treadmills come with a wider belt at 22inches. |
|
28 programs |
The number of programs is the main difference between the T5-0 and the T5-5. Although 28 is above average, it still cannot justify the $500 difference. |
Cons |

|
Expensive price tag |
$4199 is not a samall amount of money. There are better options available in the market. A $500 increase from the T5-0 for a few number of additional programs is too much. Electronic programs aren't that expensive nowadays. |
|
Short labor warranty considering the price |
A 1 year labor warranty for a $3699 treadmill is very short. Other treadmills priced lower than the T5-5 can give a 2-year labor warranty. |
|
Below average rollers |
It's surprising to see that the T5s come with smaller rollers at 2.0" compared to the less expensive T3's with 2.6" rollers |
|
Many features missing |
Lacks cooling fans, adjustable cushioning, and audio player support. Quite a disappointment for the price. |
