Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am not a runner. I am not training for marathons. In fact, I don't really enjoy running at all...but it makes me feel better physically so I do it. I use my treadmill at least 6 days a week for about a half hour a day. My Weslo treadmill had died in November after having it for about 10 years (and not maintaining the motor like I should have). I looked into getting another one of those but I really didn't have much money to spend on myself with the holidays right around the corner. So I went with a cheapo treadmill. It was the perfect size for my 9 year old daughter to use...I was not happy with it at all. Flash forward another month and I couldn't stand that one anymore. I did my research and the research said to go with a Sole or a Nordictrack. Those were $900-1K. Not what I was looking to spend. I happen to stumble upon this one...I've never heard of the brand and it wasn't listed on any websites of fabulous treadmills...but it should be. For about half the price I found exactly what I wanted. This Horizon T101 is large. I feel safe running on it...like it's not going to collapse under me. (I'm 5'8" and 230lbs...and going down now that I have a fabulous treadmill) It is so quiet! It has a fan...but that doesn't really matter to me. It has bluetooth so I don't have to have my phone bouncing in my pocket. It has 2 spaces to hold things...like my walking weights, phone, a water bottle. It has a place for a tablet...so I can read while walking. The power incline is great. It was super easy to assemble for my husband while I stood by and watched. It is heavy though! The folding part is really nice...I don't like to leave it down and it is very easy to fold up. It does take up space in my little apartment but I wouldn't trade it for anything. It has some built in programs for weight loss, calorie burning, race/marathon training, manual, and intervals. It was packaged very well...even though the box had some rips in it...the treadmill was completely unharmed. The best part though...the boxes are huge and my 4 cats love them so much that, a week later we still have the bottom portion in our living room so that they can be entertained by it. If you aren't into the bells and whistles (touch screens, watching workout sessions on your treadmill) and just want a basic treadmill, this is the one for you! I am still excited to get up and use it in the morning...well as excited as one can be to get out of bed to run and then go to work. :)
