Horizon PST6 Treadmill Review

Horizon has often made treadmills that can satisfy broad number of consumers. Sometimes the produce underachiever that is not in the same level as other models from Horizon, but most machines are built for middle class market. This means that they are above Proform, Weslo, Reebok and NordicTrack treadmills while they are bellow Sole and Smooth. And this is not only quality wise, the prices also belong to the middle market, ranging from around $400 to around $1100. There are some models for $200 from Weslo, while Smooth has models over $2000.

Horizon PST6 is made as a higher quality product that offers a lot of bells and whistles. It is a good choice for beginners and those people who wish to exercise few times a week. This model can reach a speed of 12MPH which is meant for jogging and running, while the incline goes up to 12 percent. These numbers tell us that you can get a decent workout and burn a lot of calories. Knowing Horizon, this model WILL take the pounding and let you do the cardiovascular exercises without any problems.

You will get a help from 8 workout programs too. They are supposed to surprise your body while exercising. When our muscles get used to one routine, they no longer grow and feel the strain of workouts. This is why professional athletes change their routines, so the muscles will always meet some new obstacles and continue to grow. And we should never underestimate the fun value programs have. Most people find it boring to run in one place, so new programs come as a help in that area too.

The high definition screen has information such as current speed, time, distance, calories burned, incline, pace and program profiles. These are more then enough to let you know where you stand with your current exercising session. You will also be able to change the speed and incline with one touch keys that are on the console.

One of the most important parts on any treadmill is its motor. PST6 has a 2.5 horse power motor that can sustain weight of 375lbs. When you compare this motor with one that has 1.5HP and can sustain 200lbs only, you know that you are getting something of a value with this Horizon treadmill. Fear not about the durability of this motor, not only for its strength, but because it has a good warranty.

The belt allows you to run or walk only, depending one the length. This one has 20 inches in width and 55 inches in length. We would say that is pretty enough to get the ball rolling. It’s not for a full sprint, but you will be able to do some jogging without any problems. Just make sure you learn how to use the treadmill and gain some sense of balance. Because once you start running, the things will be quite different up there. You need some experience before you can relax and put all you got into it.

At the end, I have to say that the warranty is what makes you sure about this Horizon treadmill model. It has a lifetime frame warranty, while you get 20 years on motor. And it is normal to get 1 year on parts and labor. Many brand have 90 days warranty only, so you can see that you are getting a quality product and good deal here.

If you are into something more serious, this could be your fitness buddy. Use it for walking and jogging regularly, and you will feel difference in your life. The machine is strong enough and will endure the exercising routine you have for her. And since this product is quite good and deserves attention, I suggest you to take extended warranty of it.

Horizon T62 Treadmill

This model is an upgrade from the Horizon T61. Just like every series that comes from this company, there are four models in them and are all based on on frame. As the number go up, from 1 to 4, the features also keep getting better. The motor is more powerful, the speed and incline level increase too and there are more programs to be used and make exercising routines more interesting and enjoyable.

I read one interesting review from unsatisfied customer of this treadmill. He said that the frame broke down and he had it replaced. Now, I know that this model can take 300lbs and he said he was only 200lbs heavy. Of course, Horizon T62 would not endure 300lbs for a long time. Couple of times a week, yes. And if you use this model for walking. Now, the mistake people often make is that they try to use the treadmill for something it can’t be used. Like the man who had a negative review of this model. He was within the weight limit, but he used this treadmill for running. If he read even one review, he would have known that this is an entry level model and is used for people who want to walk or do a little bit of jogging. And they are not supposed to be using this fitness equipment unit every day.

You have to buy more powerful treadmill for something like that. And they will cost you a lot more then this model does. You can’t expect to pay $700 and use the machine the same way you would use a $2,000 model. That is simply not logical. If a $700 treadmill could do all the hard work, who would bought that $4,000 from Landice or Precor? Nobody, of course. But the prices are there for reason, there are different levels of quality. And there are different levels of use.

Horizon T62 is a decent treadmill that has a good warranty, especially when compared to the competition in the same price range. You can use it for fat loss and to keep yourself active. Do not think you can run with this model or build up some muscles. It’s not made for that. It has a 2.0 Horse Power motor, 10mph of speed and 10% of incline. It will satisfy the basic needs, but using it for anything more than that would mean the damage to the machine and the repairman would soon have to come to your home.

Horizon T51 Treadmill

A basic level treadmill that has the lowest price in the T series offers a good workout for less demanding users. If you are searching for a treadmill that you can use for walking and even some jogging, this could be your choice. It is not a model that will satisfy anything more than that, but it will endure those light tasks. And it is definitely a better solution than Proform or Ironman that hav th same price, but low quality parts and only 90 days warranty.

horizon t51 treadmill

Horizon T51 is an older model that represents cheaper treadmills that have lower power and features. With a 1.75HP motor, it can offer a 10mph speed with an incline of 10%. These are the modest specifications, but that is the best you can get for under $500. A running belt had a 18×50″ dimensions that will be just enough for walking and light jogging. But if you plan to run, do not use this machine. Not only you will be uncomfortable, it won’t be able to deliver you the conditions for running at all.

You will get four workout programs to keep the exercises interesting and change the pace a bit. You can track your heart rate as you go with a heart rate monitor. These are the basic features that are allowing you to track your progress and your condition.

The motor itself is the strongest point of T51. It has a 7 year warranty, a lot more then other treadmills at this price range. The frame is having a lifetime warranty, and this tells you much about the stability of this unit and how much confidence Horizon has with it. You get 1 year on pars and labor too, which is a good deal, considering the price. There are some brands with much better warranties, but the prices of their models are much higher than $1,000.

If you are after light workouts, this could be a fine choice. Otherwise, search for a more powerful treadmill. This unit does not lack so much quality as the basic structural features for more demanding workouts. It is simply not meant for them.
