Healthrider T600i Treadmills
The HealthRider T600i Treadmill will do the job – I mean, you’re hard pressed to find something that won’t, even manual treadmills, if you’re truly motivated. Heck, just run outside, rain or shine. Again, though, I don’t understand why this retails for $1,000. The HealthRider website no longer offers this product, and we can speculate that it has been discontinued, and that the retailers may treat this as excess (hard-to-sell) inventory. You may be able to negotiate steep discounts here. But I would probably advise you against purchasing the T600i.
The 1.5 horsepower motor is way below competing products in the same price range. The speed and incline controls allow you to go up to 10 mph and up to 10% on the incline – there are cheaper treadmills that can go up to 12 mph and 12+ % on the incline. The SoftTrack cushioning does reduce impact on the joints, and this treadmill is compatible with iFit – iFit’s website can provide you with CDs and videos of personal trainers to guide you on your workouts. There is a heart rate monitor, and the warranty terms are 90 days. There are also 2 CoolAire fans to keep you cool.
Overall, though, all these are features are not enough to justify shelling out $1,000. I'd buy something else.
- You may be able to negotiate steep discounts in buying this product, if you really, really want to buy it. The advantage seems to be that you don’t need to buy this product.
- This product is too expensive, and offers nothing that resembles a differentiating feature. Why pay approximately $1,000 for standard stuff?
- It's risky to buy something that isn't being offered by the manufacturer anymore
