Motus 995TL Treadmills
|
|
The 995TL is the absolute top of the line. You pretty much can't get better than this - but you also can't get more expensive. You're looking at paying in the $8,000 range. But if you've got money to blow, and you want the Ferrari of treadmills, then you want this one. They've got a couple of other brands - but the cheapest is still around $6,500. It's made by Motus USA, which is a subsidiary of a Korean company called Motus Co. Ltd. You probably don't recognize them - but most of the parts are from places you've heard of, like Samsung, Hyundai, or Mitsubishi. One very important point: if you don't want the built-in television for some reason, then do NOT buy this one. Instead, go with the Motus M995T - it's the exact same thing without the TV, and it's a little cheaper.
The advantages:
-
The horsepower far exceeds anything you will get on a cheaper treadmill - meaning the motor lasts a lot longer
-
The screen is basically a television - and you can use it as one. It's a fifteen-inch LCD monitor, and it plays DVD's.
-
The running area is extremely large, so you will have plenty of space. Other treadmills can feel cramped
-
Handgrips that are designed to get rid of the bacteria in your sweat (good if you've got someone else using it, too)
-
Very little vibration. It's a very stable chassis, so you won't be shaking around by running on it. That's extremely helpful if you are a larger person
-
It has an AC built into it
The disadvantages:
-
Way too expensive to be worth it for anyone who is just using it casually (unless you've got money to burn). These things are mainly for high-end gyms, the very wealthy, or possibly someone training for sports professionally.
