Conclusions
The LifeSpan 5T is an entry level treadmill. After testing it for a few weeks, we can recommend this machine only if you consider the following: you use it 30-40 minutes a day, 2-3 times a week and for light jogging only. You’re not interested in workout variety and automatic incline system.
The only advantage we see worthy to mention is that it folds and it’s easy to store in narrow spaces.
But everything you buy comes with a 90-day warranty only. This investment has high risks!
