Conclusions For Horizon CT81 Treadmill Review

What we especially like at this model is the motor. We do not like the motor power in particular, but the fact that is very quiet surprises for an entry level treadmill.

For this price range the CT81 model has all you need: 8 built in training workouts, pulse rate and fan. These features are enough for most home users that don’t train to run in a marathon.

We wish this treadmill had a more powerful motor (a 2.5 CHP one would have been nice) and a longer belt to accommodate tall persons. Also the built in fan is very nice but it doesn’t have enough power. Plus, the direction is not adjustable.

Overall the Horizon CT81 Treadmill is a good entry level machine with some nice features and built in workouts. If you are a heavy runner or a serious trainer we recommend looking for a better & more expensive machine.
