What should I pay attention to when buying a treadmill?

With the improvement of living quality, people are beginning to pay more and more attention to their personal health. Some people will buy some sports equipment and put them at home to exercise at any time. Among them, the treadmill has become the choice of most people. So for most people, a question arises: what should you pay attention to when buying a treadmill? For example, price, quality, brand, and future after-sales service. Next, let’s analyze these issues together.

Treadmills with more additional functions are not necessarily better

The "multi-functional treadmill" is a treadmill style with Chinese characteristics, and only the domestic market provides it with a living space. The international market, especially the European and American markets, has not recognized it. Now, it seems that no domestic treadmill brand is an exception, including well-known national treadmill brands that have multi-functional treadmill product lines. What's more, some brands' main products are multi-function treadmills, while those internationally renowned brands only produce single-function treadmills. This is something that needs to be carefully considered when buying a treadmill.

From the market perspective, the low price and multi-function of the multi-function treadmill are two strong selling points, so it attracts a lot of consumers' attention. Generally speaking, treadmills with functions such as massage and strength training have a market price between 2,000 yuan and 3,500 yuan, and are mainly sold online. But as far as I know, many friends rarely use the additional functions after purchasing a treadmill, and the after-sales service cannot keep up in time.

The patented shock-absorbing principle of the soft running board is very simple

One factor that prompts some friends to buy treadmills may be that treadmills put less impact on joints than running on land, and running is more scientific and safer. Therefore, some consumers think that the softer the treadmill running board, the better. In fact, this is misleading. International professional brand treadmills do not recommend the use of soft running boards. They generally use patented shock-absorbing technology combined with high-density fiber running boards to achieve shock-absorbing effects. Only a few domestic brands of treadmills strongly recommend soft running board treadmills to consumers.

The shock absorption principle of soft running boards is actually very simple, that is, when your feet land on the running board, the bending of the running board can produce a buffering force on the human body. However, when running on a treadmill with a soft running board, if your feet are not firmly placed on the running board, it is easy to cause instability in the center of gravity of the body. In addition, if the soft running board is always bent like this, it will easily cause the running board to deform and reduce its service life. So here I would like to remind everyone to be aware of the lie that "the softer the treadmill deck, the better".

The quiet motor may be due to insufficient horsepower

The motor is a very critical component of a treadmill. It can be said that the higher the grade of the treadmill, the more powerful its motor is. Normally, the motor power is proportional to the noise level. However, some brands of treadmills have low motor noise, which is actually because the power is too weak, but they say that they have silent motors in the product introduction, which is obviously misleading consumers. To be honest, it is unlikely that such a low-power motor would produce a lot of noise.

A treadmill motor with high horsepower does not mean high noise. If too much emphasis is placed on quietness, it is a trick to cover up the true output horsepower or the product is of insufficient quality. Therefore, don't be fooled by a "low-power silent motor".

The above is a detailed introduction to several common things to pay attention to when purchasing a treadmill. For those who are preparing to buy a treadmill, they will have a better understanding of it when choosing a treadmill. In addition, for home use treadmills, it is recommended to buy treadmills that are easy to fold or do not take up space and are more practical.
