If treadmills were dating, the T7.0 model would definitely be a catch for a jogger. It’s got the whole package: great construction, some nice attractive features and an easy-to-use console. But since nothing is ever perfect, the 7.0 has its own share of cons. It depends on you whether you can get passed them or not.

First of all, if you’re a jogger or a walker, you should stick throughout this Conclusions section. If not, you may find something else to satisfy your needs. The motor is powerful enough to sustain walking and jogging, but that’s about it. Of course, let’s not forget about the price range, $800. For this cash and given the warranty, we may as well consider this treadmill one of the best.

The running surface accommodates a wide range of users, but not the tallest ones. They may have a longer stride than what this treadmill has to offer.

When it comes to workouts, you should have no worries as there are many workouts that allow you to change incline and speed. Basically, you can go as fast and as high as you want while working out and moreover, you can do it fast. 1-touch buttons help you alter values in no time.

iPod enthusiasts will be happy to hear they can plug in their device and enjoy a high quality sound, that we also enjoy from time to time.

A workout fan is your friend indeed whenever you’re in need. And when you’re done, you just fold it and put it somewhere it’s no inconvenience.

Although in today’s treadmill world, iFit is no longer the rising star, we still find it by far exciting. Being able to run around the world is not something you get to do every day, unless you have an iFit model. Add the personalized workouts and the workout tracking and there you have it, an enhanced workout experience.

Sorry for bursting the bubble, but you do have to purchase the iFit Live module separately. Also, you have to pay the extra buck for the wireless chest strap.

Additionally, the cushioning system turned out to be a bit bouncier than the ordinary road. We didn’t appreciate it too much, which is why we’re double thinking our purchase.

If you put it all together, you may see that the 7.0 is a notable appearance for 2012. Still, it has its disadvantages which may determine you to reconsider your purchase.
