Pacemaster Treadmills Reviewed
By Dean Iggo
Editor's Summary: An overall favorable product review
of Pacemaster Treadmills. The author states the advantages and disadvantages
of the Pacemaster, as well as his recommendation.
Pacemaster treadmills have been in the business for 35 years and
in that time they have established themselves as a producer of high
quality treadmills as recommended by a number of fitness industry
experts and authorities.
Priced between $1,500 and $2,300 they are not the cheapest treadmills
around but I still believe that they are great value for money.
As I have said many times before, you generally get what you pay
for when it comes to treadmills so if you think the pacemaster treadmills
are too expensive I would suggest you ask yourself exactly what
it is you are looking for in a treadmill and make you own choice
from there.
In my opinion if you can't or don't want to spend over $1,000 on
a decent treadmill then now is not the right time to buy. Although
a treadmill might be only $800 the backend costs like repairs, maintenance
and labor can make it a very expensive, unreliable machine indeed.
But I digress...
Manufactured by Aerobics Inc, Pacemaster have some of the best
fitness equipment brains behind their products. Including the legendary
Bill Staub and Dr. Kenneth Cooper who's exercise science principles
help produce each and every treadmill. With this brains trust used
in the development of the Pacemaster range you can expect a true
high quality product!
The warranty of these treadmills are testament to the quality with
lifetime warranty on the frame, 5 years on parts, 1 year on labor
and a massive 12 years for the motor. This is a fantastic warranty
that is hard to find in even some of the commercial treadmill brands.
Advantages
Pacemaster treadmills have been developed by some of the best minds
in the fitness equipment industry and the quality of their treadmills
is testament to that. The extended warranty should satisfy even
the most demanding user and their competitive prices make them a
very good value for money buy.
Disadvantages
I have looked hard for any weaknesses in this brand but can't find
any. The only thing that I should point out is that this mid-price
range that the pacemaster treadmills fall into ($1,500-$2,300) is
very competitive with a number of other brands producing exceptional
quality machines as well.
It might pay to compare these treadmills with other similar priced
treadmills to find one that best suits your needs (check out my
own treadmill
ratings).
Recommendation
I highly recommend Pacemaster treadmills for their high quality
and extended warranties. If the price is too high then there are
other comparable brands with slightly cheaper treadmills that you
should consider.
