Treadmills and elipticals

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know if low end treadmills and elipticals are worth buying?

I Was going to get a $300 treadmill or eliptical at walmart but came

home to research first and found that most of the reviews for cheap

ones were bad saying they will not last more than a yr or 2. That

bumbed me out I can not go wasting money seeing how I don't have much.

So my if anyone has a low end model and is happy with it please let me

know. Thanks

I have never had much luck with the "low end" treadmills so for a while I was without one cause I couldn't afford one any higher priced but I was watching HSN one day and saw a treadmill I really liked and they said it had a lifetime warranty on frame and motor(so I figured heck it may be worth it since they have to replace what breaks for lifetime) but then I saw the price 649.99 and I thought no way can I come up with that at once but then they put up offering payment plan of 5 payments of 129.99(or something like that) so I said that was do-able so I got it and I LOVE it, it has a lot more features than most I see at comparable prices. It feels really sturdy and I weight almost 250 pounds, speaking of weight and treadmills it also holds up to 325 pounds(which is good cause hubby is 300). Anyway I have babbled enough I am just happy with my treadmill and was glad to finally be able to get one that wasn't easy to tear up like the low ends. I thought doing something like this may be an option for you to be able to get a piece of equiptment. Here is the link to the one I got.

no, i dont think so. personally i would not buy one under 500

dollars, and even that is cutting it close to 'low end'.
