LiveStrong LS16.9T Treadmill Review
LiveStong LS12.9T is the more advanced version of LS9.9T treadmill. We had the opportunity to review both of them so we could understand better the difference between these 2 models.
LS12.9T’s cost is $1,300, $400 more than LS9.9T. The price difference is high so the new features this model comes with should really worth your money.
For who the difference really matters and why you would choose this treadmill instead of the LS9.9T version ($900 cost), you’ll find in our conclusions.
