Choosing the best home treadmill can be confusing as you sift

through all of the options, new models, and brand name ‘deals’.

Too often, people get caught up in all the 'Goodies' a treadmill

offers them that they miss the fact that the treadmill doesn't

have the basic essentials of a quality unit.

By knowing the 4 basic essentials of a quality home treadmill,

you'll be able to quickly sift through the treadmill deals and

choose the best home treadmill for you.

The 4 basic essentials to a quality treadmill are:

#1 - High Powered, Well Built Motor

Since the motor is the most expensive part of the treadmill to

fix, a good motor is essential to your treadmill. Try to find

at least a motor power of 2.0 HP, preferably higher.

Remember that a 1.5 HP motor has to work twice as hard as a 3.0

HP motor - so it will burn out long before the 3.0 HP motor.

Also, not all motors are built with the same quality parts.

Look for a good brand name and a long motor warranty to give

you clues as to the quality of the motor.

#2 - Excellent Cushioning

There's not enough said about cushioning and it is so important

in a home treadmill. A good cushioning system protects your

joints, ligaments and back. A poor cushioning system can result

in injury and pain.

I know of one woman who bought a cheaper brand of treadmill and

then ran on it. Within 6 months, she had damaged her hips so

badly that it hurt her to even walk on the treadmill. You

definitely don't want that!

Make sure your treadmill offers an excellent cushioning system

- especially if you'll be running!

#3 - Extensive Warranty

You want to protect your investment so a solid treadmill

warranty is a must. A good treadmill warranty will cover the

frame for at least 30 years, the motor for at least 5 years and

other parts and labor for about 1 year. Anything above that and

you've got an excellent warranty.

But a warranty isn't just to protect your investment – a good

warranty lets you know about the quality of the treadmill

parts.

Treadmill companies do not include warranties because they

think they'll have to fix the treadmill within that time frame.

They know that they WON'T have to fix them within that time

frame because the quality of parts used are high. So if you

find a treadmill with a 10 year motor warranty, you KNOW it's a

quality built motor. If the motor warranty is only 90 days

however...that tells you something.

#4 - Quality Brand Name

Certain brand names have a reputation for building a high

quality home treadmill. Other brand names may be well-known but

they don't necessarily have a good reputation.

Choose a treadmill that has a solid, trusted brand name. Not

sure which brands are good? Check out expert ratings and 'Best

Buys' on various treadmill review sites and/or magazines.

You'll start to see a trend where certain brand names come up

frequently. These brands are the quality treadmill

manufacturers.

So those are 4 basic essentials of a good home treadmill:

- High Powered, Well Built Motor

- Excellent Cushioning

- Extensive Warranty

- Quality Brand Name

Knowing these, you can sift through the treadmills available

and easily locate the best treadmill for your home.
