Pros

Treadmills411 Editor Comments

22" x 56" wider belt

The Precor Premium Series 9.35 gives you a wider belt measuring 22 inches. This gives you an extra 2" room that's typically not offered by many other treadmills. The most common belt width is 20"

-2 decline feature

Another feature you wouldn't find in common treadmills is the decline option. Although this model only gives you a -2 % decline, it would still give you an additional challenge and focus on certain muscle groups as you would do when you're running downhill.

Has a belt speed adjustment

 Precor's website mentions an 'Integrated Footplant Technology' which adapts to how fast you run on the treadmill. This gives you a more natural stride as claimed by Precor's website.

Reversible deck

This reversible deck feature can be considered as standard for Precor treadmills. It gives you twice the deck's life by just flipping it and make the underside its top surface.

Strong parts warranty

While many manufacturers give you a parts warranty from between 3 to 7 years, Precor's 10-year parts leaves the competition behind. You can see the confidence of this manufacturer on their treadmill's components.

Heavy treadmill

One indicator of a treadmill's sturdiness is its weight. The heavier the treadmill, the better. With the 335-pound weight of the 9.35, it'll have no problem holding up heavy users even those weighing at around 400lbs.

Cons

Expensive treadmill

A serious drawback of this model is its expensive price tag. At $4999, it comes as the most expensive among the Premium series having a decline feature, more programs and Precor's patented Integrated footplant technology. It may be hard to justify the $500 increase from the 9.33 but you may wonder why Precor's still in the business and still has a good market following.

Poor labor warranty

Again, in considerattion to the expensive price tag f this treadmill, a 1 year labor warranty is quite below what we're expecting to see. The standard labor warranty you can get for $2000 and up treadmills is 2 years that's why this is among one of the biggest weaknesses of this treadmill.

No wireless chest monitor

It's very disppointing for a $5000 treadmill not to include a $60 value wireless chest heart monitor. We're expecting treadmills over $1500 to include this add-on as it's quite common in that price range.

No fans  and MP3 player support

Although some users don't care much about MP3 player support and cooling fans, we would have wanted to see these 2 features included in the 9.35 since it costs almost $5000.
