Buying Treadmill
When Buying A Used Treadmill
Before that, are you psychologically ready to
buy a second hand product- the one used by others? This issue is very
important. Hundreds of people are going to ask you this in the future,
why you bought this secondhand treadmill. Every time, you need to give
them a sort of mini-discourse and convince them, as to what made you go
for a used treadmill purchase! If you have made the buy against the
wishes of your wife, she is not going to pardon you for lifetime! Take
it as a guarantee!
There is, however a
difference between a used treadmill and the refurbished treadmill. By
buying a refurbished treadmill, you have actually bought a new
treadmill. In the process, you have saved thousands of dollars as well.
But you need to know the art of buying a used treadmill, and you need to
take some basic, unfailing precautions.
By buying a used
treadmill, you have already saved the gym fees. Perhaps a few months
fees would equal the cost of the treadmill you have bought. Some used
treadmills are sold with a limited warranty as well.
Before
buying a used treadmill, think of some import parts first. Do not make
compromise on the motor. If motor is defective, no amount of assurances
is going to save you from immediate future troubles. Have a trial run,
and watch whether any additional vibrations are created by the
treadmill. And the console of the treadmill needs to give you the
correct indications about the speed at which you run the distance and
the time. Some consoles have pre-generated workouts.
As for the body, look for the treadmill with a long deck. You need
to walk or run at full stride that will give you total exercise freedom.
Of what material the frame is made? If it is steel, it is better and
will have long-term advantages. The minimum size of the deck should be
52.
Look out for two important safety features
in the used treadmill you intend to buy. First is the automatic stop
button. The reason for this facility is obvious. Second is provision for
the safety key that locks the treadmill. Let the children use it in your
presence and with your permission, till such
time they have mastered the
procedure well.
Again to remind you about the motor, it needs to
be a quiet motor! With the grumbling motor, the whole treadmill will
grumble!
