Merit 725T Treadmill

Pros

Treadmills411 Editor Comments

Affordable price tag

For just $519, it's more affordable than the regular 715T treadmill but offers better features.

10 mph and 10% incline

Treadmill has a max 10mph and 10% incline. Although considered a lower pro, still worth mentioning considering the affordable price tag.

Cushioining and pulse grips

We've seen more expensive treadmills not having these features so this is definitely a strength for the 725T selling for only $519.

Cons

Treadmills411 Editor Comments

Poor warranty

2 year on motor warranty and 90days on parts and labor is way below average even if it comes with a lifetime warranty on frame.

Weak motor

Only has 1.25HP motor.

Shorter belt length

A belt length of 45" is below average than what's expected for treadmills.

Light treadmill

At 139 lbs, it's very questionable to hold up 250lb users.

Limited programs

Even though it has more programs than the 715T, electronic programs are not very expensive to produce nowadays. 7 is still below average.

Lacks features

Treadmill doesn't have noise reduction, fans, and MP3 support.

Belt plies and roller size unknown

We give low marks for unknown or unstated features. Not to say that the quality of these features are poor but you have reasons to be cautious if details about these are not disclosed.
