Guidelines for Buying the Best Treadmill
Size and Weight of the Treadmill: How much space you have for the treadmill in your house will determine the size of the treadmill. Measure the length, breath and height of the space that is going to be used for the treadmill and then choose the ideal treadmill for that space. Also measure the weight of the individual with the maximum weight who is going to use the treadmill. Treadmills come with varied weigh bearing capacities and should therefore be bought accordingly.
Check for Treadmills Stability and Any Malfunctions: Check the treadmill by jogging on it. The ride shouldn’t be jerky and noisy. Also check the size of the run way, if it is too congested. Run the motor for at least 15-30 minutes and check if it becomes very hot with any burning smell. Buy the machine only if there is no such malfunction in it.
Features of the Treadmill: Price of the treadmill greatly depends on its features. More the features, more will be the price of the treadmill. It’s upon you to decide which features you require and which you don’t. Usually, an ideal treadmill should have a safety knob, speed control button and incline adjustments button, pulse rate detector, preset, start and stop buttons.
Treadmill Motor Power: Treadmill motor power is another thing that determines its price. Like the other features; higher the motor power, higher will be the price. If you want a treadmill for strenuous workout, than you should get one with high motor power and for light regular workout, buy something with low to medium motor power treadmill.
Check the Warranty: Always buy treadmills with longer warranty period. Longer warranty usually signifies good quality product. Ideally the warranty of the treadmill should be at least for 3 years for the parts and one year for free servicing. Generally good treadmills when used carefully last for anything between 7 to 10 years. But when used roughly and negligibly, even the best and the most expensive product may go out of order in very short period.
Price of the Treadmill: You should always plan your budget for buying a treadmill only after determining what feature, size and weight bearing capacity of the treadmill you want without compromising the quality of the product. After all, buying a treadmill is a serious investment and also, there is no point of spending money for something that is not needed. At the same time, your treadmill should have all the necessary features and quality to get the best health benefits from it.
