Horizon Paragon 308 Treadmill

Advantages: Solid Feel / Price
Disadvantages: Could use more hi-tech gadgets

...Regarding the basics, the Horizon Ti 22 is quiet and has a solid feel. The LED monitor has a variety of settings and modes that allow me to adjust my workout. The width of the unit is comfortable, so I don't feel as if I'm going to tip over or stumble when I walk. The most important aspect to the entire unit is its solid feel. I weight 180 pounds, and when I run, I didn't want a machine that bounced, which will increase stress on knees. This unit provides the support I need to feel safe running even at speeds of a 7-minute mile. The cup holder is pretty basic, and I would have rated it excellent if it had a dvd player like some of the others I looked at, but for the price, you can't go wrong. Overall, if you're looking for solid build, reasonable price, and if you can forego some of the more expensive gadgets... Read review

...Why The Horizon Sonic 11 If I am fit I am happy, if I can lose weight I am even happier.

It was rather expensive too. I decided the only solution would be to get a treadmill of my own. I had two problems, it would have to be stored in the sitting room and it had to be quiet. Hubby likes watching the TV!!! I checked out reviews in Ciao and then looked in Ebay, but I... Read review

Advantages: Sturdy, easily folded away.
Disadvantages: Manual incline

...I bought this treadmill from Tesco Direct about two years ago and it is still going strong. It sits beside my desk and folds upwards which is great for keeping it out of the way. It is then easily opened using a key on the side and the main belt drops down to the floor. It has different speeds and also preset programmes which challenge your fitness by speeding up and slowing down at different times. It is very sturdy and has an emergency cut out switch that you can attach to your clothes and a drinks holder. The only thing I miss is the incline which you have to adjust manually when treadmill is off but for the money it is a great treadmill.... Read review
