Conclusions
The main advantage of the A2550 unit is the 22’’ wide belt. It gives extra space and makes jogging more comfortable than you imagine. For a machine that costs $999, this is a serious advantage.
We also appreciate the electronic features like Fitness Age Center, Custom Workout center or the iFit Workout Card Technology. They make training sessions less boring and more engaging.
The treadmill folds, is iPod compatible and it can be used by heavier persons. But you get a short warranty for parts.
With a lifetime warranty for frame and motor, plus a 325 lbs max user weight, this treadmill becomes a pretty decent treadmill. It’s not something we would recommend to serious runners, but it’s a good solution for light joggers.
