Horizon T93 Treadmills
This is a prime example of a high end product that can really eat away at the market share of a premium end product. After all, why spend over $1,500 – sometimes over $2,500 – for a treadmill when you can purchase one with relatively similar features for closer to $1,000 such as the Horizon Fitness T93. Obviously, I am not addressing economical, standard treadmills here. The 2.5 continuous horsepower motor drives the belt to speeds up to 12 mph; the elevation can go up to 10%; the 20 by 55 inch running / walking room provides ample space. The weight capacity is 325 pounds, which should be more than enough for the vast majority of fitness enthusiasts. There are two primary features the distinguish the T93 from most treadmills: a cushioning system is welcome for those who want reduced shock on their joints, and a MP3 port with speakers and audio jacks facilitate your music preferences when exercising. Additionally, the front panel space has ample room to place your reading material, and a front-placed cooling fan provides cooling comfort after tens of minutes of exercise. Overall, this is a great treadmill for those looking for specific work-out enhancing features. There is a lifetime warranty on frame and motor, and one-year warranty on parts and labor.
Advantages:
- For a high end treadmill product, the T93’s price of approximately $1,000 is actually a value buy. It has most, if not all, of the bells and whistles of premium treadmills with much higher price points.
- Audio devices, cooling fan, cushion system, and the stable frame, all combine to provide a great treadmill that will support your fitness initiative.
Disadvantages:
- If you just want a workable treadmill – something more of an alternative – you can definitely buy a cheaper treadmill and save a few hundred dollars. This seems to be a slight disadvantage, not a major one.
