Should I invest in the Proform 810 TR treadmill or not? When you search online, it can be hard to figure this out, because there are so many conflicting reviews.
be careful who you listen to
Many sites that review this and other treadmills are actually affiliates of the company… although they do not promote this fact. Also, the sites where customer reviews are mostly positive usually HAPPEN to be the sites that sell it.
In other words…
You should be careful who you get your information from. With that disclaimer, here’s an “unbiased” review of the 810 tr.
Price
Let’s face it, cost is often what drives people to buy a Proform. They’ve never been known for quality or customer service… but the one thing you can always count on is cheap prices. This model sells for $800, which is kind of “middle of the road” for the company.
Energy
It has an output of 2.25 “continuous horsepower” which is actually quite good. Many other models from the company are only 1.25 or 1.75, so this is a big step up. However, it is still an exaggeration to say that the Proform 810 TR treadmill has enough power to allow running.
walking area
This is a very respectable ’20’ by ’55’ inches, allowing taller users to use it quite comfortably.
maximum weight
It can support people up to 325lbs…again pretty impressive.
Characteristic
This model has a ‘daily log’ system that allows you to keep track of every workout. But of course, a pencil and paper can do the same thing, and without adding anything to the price. It also has the infamous ‘iFit’ system. This allows you to automatically connect and download a personalized workout directly to the machine. This is a cool feature… but then again, it’s something you can easily achieve on your own. Why pay extra for it?
Warranty
This is where this machine really falls short. The 15-year motor warranty is adequate, but only 12 months for parts is a joke. Sure, this is better than the typical “90 day” parts on most company models, but it’s still not going to cut it.
Quality
Admittedly, this is not one of the best-built machines on the market, one of the main reasons for the short warranty. Inferior quality, coupled with a lack of power, make this nothing more than a “walking” machine.
The bottom line…
If you’re just going to walk, the Proform 810 TR treadmill will get the job done… but if you plan on running, you’ll need something more serious.
