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 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.
