Horizon Fitness T81 Treadmill

Product Description:
Enjoy a vigorous workout in the comfort of your own home with the Horizon Fitness T81 treadmill. The T81 is built around a durable 2.0-horsepower continuous-duty motor, similar to the type found in premium health clubs. The result is a smooth and powerful performance at all speeds, with the ability to run quieter and longer while generating plenty of power for a long workout. The T81 is no slouch from a feature perspective, either, with eight workout programs to help you focus on your goals, a speed range of 0.5 to 10 miles per hour, an elevation range of 0 to 10 percent, and ComfortZone air cell cushioning on the two-ply treadbelt that makes every step feel remarkably comfortable.
The Horizon control console, meanwhile, emphasizes simplicity, with logical control locations and a 2.4-by-3.1-inch orange backlit LCD screen that offers key feedback on your workout. The T81 is also easy to store thanks to Horizon’s exclusive FeatherLight lift, which incorporates two hydraulic shocks to assist you when raising and lowering the deck. Other details include contact heart rate grips, a built-in cooling fan, and a 20-by-50-inch running area.

Justin’s Comments:
The numbers on this baby are impressive, especially considering the rock bottom price point. Like all the other Horizon models, the warranty is outstanding - if you trust this company to be around that long. What is in question is the quality of the product and the reputation of the company. Look at the T82 for a more powerful motor and longer belt if you plan to run a lot.
