Justin’s Commentary:

The big brother of the Reebok 8000 ES this is really the sweet spot in the latest Reebok line of treadmills. It has the motor power and belt size to really accommodate a more serious runner. You also jump to a lifetime warranty here versus a 10 year parts only on the 8000 ES. With a top speed of 12 MPH you can really haul some ass too. Will accommodate fat asses up to 325 pounds. Really nice sounding speakers for a treadmill, if a little gimmicky. I really like this model – look for good deals at Costco.
