ProForm® 350 treadmill Review

For a complete cardio- workout the ProForm 350 treadmill is a good buy especially as it does not pinch the pocket too much. It has many useful features, which are amazing at the kind of price it sells at. However like other treadmills that cost less than $1000, it lacks power, sturdiness and structural integrity like costlier models. They are hence light duty machines and have small warranty periods. But among light duty machines, the ProForm 350 treadmill is a good bargain. The ProForm 350 treadmill is powered by a 2.25 THP Mach drive motor that gives noiseless, heavy performance. It is given with a reasonable 3-year warranty. A large sized 17 x 50 tread belt makes the deck roomy and easy to use. The Prosoft impact absorption protects joints from injury and stress.

Quick adjustments are attractive features. Quick Speed control allows a one-touch manipulation of speed and negates the need for scrolling up and down various speeds. Speed range of 0 to 10 mph can be manipulated easily. Power incline control eases the process of incline adjustments from 1.5 to 10 percent incline.

The EKG grip pulse sensors placed on the handlebars give accurate pulse readings enabling you to monitor heart rate while working out. The MyCalories personal Calorie center helps to keep track of calories burnt. Three large LCD displays add to viewing pleasure.

The minus points are that it does not have built in workouts and it is not iFit compatible for an entertaining experience. But it dose have CoolAire system which supplies cool breezes while working out. The machine can also support a weight of 250 lb. The motor has a 3-year warranty and labor and parts have 90-day warrantys. The price is around an affordable $399.

The lowest priced ProForm treadmill (under $500) generally obtains below average ratings. But this is unfair, as it should not be compared without taking price into consideration. A $400 machine cannot deliver the goods of a $1000 machine. If you are a serious athlete, it is better to avoid the ProForm 350 treadmill and similarly priced models. The short warranty may also be a problem for some buyers.

In sum, features of ProForm 350 treadmill are:
