Home Exercise Equipment Adviser

I was looking around the internet for a cheap and cheerful incline treadmill that I could use at home for some gentle running during the winter period and came across the Merit Fitness 725T Treadmill on an Amazon search. I am always wary about home treadmills, they seem to be either very expensive and scientific or cheap and inadequate, usually a little frail looking and only really suitable for carrying out walking exercises.

Well the Merit Fitness 725T made me pause, for one thing it was the best selling treadmill on Amazon so warranted a more detailed look but the most impressive thing about the treadmill was the price in relation to the features, usability and positive reviews this incline treadmill received.

Having read the Amazon reviews I came away with the understanding that the treadmill can be difficult to assemble but once assembled the general conclusion was that the machine was sturdy, quiet in use, good value, easy to use, effective even for seasoned runners, and a great buy with many features you would expect on a far more expensive machine.

The features of this home treadmill that make it such a bargain are that it is motorised with a 2hp motor that offers a speed range of 1-10 mph, has motorised elevation from 0-10 percent, has a weight capacity of 250 pounds, is fold-able (but according to reviews not so you could slide under a bed, more for the closet), has a reasonable length running platform of 18 x 45 inches and comes with an LED computer that monitors speed, time, distance and has four preset programs as well as instance speed control switches. It has other incidental features such as cup holder, heart rate monitor and various warranties.

Price wise, this incline treadmill is discounted below $500 and includes free shipping from Amazon. So if you are in the market for a cheap home treadmill that is motorised and has incline as well as a host of other features this could well be the ideal model for you.
