Ratings Key

Stability - This rating is in reference to how solid the treadmill feels under foot.

Cushioning - This is an indication of the shock absorption of the treadmill. Since softer is not always better this is an abstract rating based on our personal preference of a balance between having some give and still being stable.

Noise - This rates the overall noise level of the machine.

Warranty - Rates the warranty in comparison to other units in the same class.

Feel - Rates the feel of the unit as you are walking or running. This would indicate if there is any hesitation when you step on the belt.

Reliability - Rates the overall reliability of the treadmill and it's components based on our field experience.

Programs -Rates the programming features such as HRC and their ease of use.

Availability - This rates how competative the market is for that particular brand of treadmill. Some treadmills can only be sold by certain local dealers, this can make getting a good price almost impossible.

Value - This is an indication of quality based on the price of a unit.

Overall - This is an overall rating that is what we would buy for ourselves at each particular price point.
