Weslo Treadmills - The New Talk of Fitness Treadmills
Weslo Cadence Treadmills are one of the most, if not the most, popular treadmills among exercise equipment buyers today.
This treadmill's popularity has to do more with the with the company's clever, yet effective, marketing skills rather than the quality of the product. The equipment is easily available at near you. It is as simple as going to your local department store, such Walmart or SuperKmart, and literally finding yourself surrounded with at least 20 different Weslo Cadence models with very small price tags. The clever marketing makes you believe you are getting a deal of a life time on your new treadmill. Are you? Many expert buyers believe that these treadmills range from bad to worse, so make sure you do your research before you make your purchase.
What makes these treadmills so bad? It most likely has to do with their reported poor durability and short lifespan. It has been shown that Weslo parts are searched for almost as often as the actual treadmills. So, this only makes it obvious that these treadmills break down quite often. Another report states that they not only break down quite often, but at a fairly new age. In addition, the warranty is not the best and the parts are quite expensive. So maybe it is advisable that you save your money and invest into something that is more durable and sturdy.
In all fairness though, if you are not a serious treadmill user this model can work for you. These treadmills are designed primarily for walking. The decks are small and the motors have low horsepower, both peak and continuous. This is not a running machine, but it can easily fulfill your desire to walk.
Most of the models are equipped with Impulse drive system, Comfort Cell? cushioning, adjustable incline, digital speed, an EKG? Heart Rate Monitor. In addition, they are very compact and easy to store. Hence the options are quite elaborate for the price tag.
In contrast, several consumers reported that the digital speed panel can be faulty, the speed continuously changes as you're walking. This could be quite bothersome. Another consumer reported feeling as if the belt slips forward every time she takes a step and the treadmill is very loud. In addition, the same consumer reported that at 3 mph she was fully running. Hence the digital speed setting is not very accurate. To top things off it has been reported that the handbook is not very easy to follow and the troubleshooting steps don't get you anywhere.
But, in all fairness, if you are not a serious treadmill user this model can work for you. These treadmills are designed primarily for walking. The decks are small and the motors have low horsepower, both peak and continuous. This is not a running machine, but it can easily fulfill your desire to walk.
Weslo Cadence treadmills are built for casual use only, or in other words infrequent walking. If that's all you are looking, this treadmill can work for you but if you are looking for a treadmill for daily workouts and running, it's probably best if you research other brands.
