Schwinn 860 is the superior model Schwinn sells in the Home Treadmills Series. The second (and last) product they sell as an alternative is Schwinn 840. In a few words, Schwinn is a Nautilus Inc. brand. In their production line they focus more on gym equipment. These 2 models include partially the gym technology they usually use, but at a more advantageous price.
From our point of view Schwinn 860 is an optimal choice for a various range of runners, from those who just want to stay in shape to marathon winners. And it costs only $1,400.
Check out our Conclusions section to have a clear view on its advantages and disadvantages we discovered during our tests.

Schwinn 860 Treadmill Features
Display:
Display of this console is similar to the Schwinn 840 version. You have the same LED display and during workout the same feedback is shown. Read the Schwinn 840 Review for more details.
The console is user friendly, and although not incorporated with an advanced Display technology (like other treadmills) it’s easy to control before and during exercise.
Heart Rate: Through Contact Handrails and Wireless Chest Strap
Heart Rate reading through the WireLess Chest Strap is very important for the Heart Rate workouts. With this tool your target heart rate will be monitored and your weight loss workouts will prove their efficiency faster than you imagine.
But you have to pay attention to how take care of the chest strap, after each use. Clean is and keep it safe as it’s probably the easiest and the first to brake and replace.

Above Schwinn 840, this treadmill also offers certain workouts according to the heart rate percentage. Heart Rate 65% Program calculates a heart rate goal of 65% of your maximum heart rate according to your own information (age, height, weight, sex). The Heart Rate 75% Program does the same thing considering 75% of your maximum heart rate. The Heart Rate 85% Program is designed for the same functions, according to 85% of the maximum heart rate. These workouts are ideal for those who want to lose weight efficiently and receive correct feedback!
