I was initially thrilled to get my Peloton Tread, expecting a quality treadmill at this price. Sadly, the reality was a letdown. Just a few months after the first year warranty expired, the base malfunctioned. Attempts to fix it were futile, leading to the frustrating conclusion that it needed a complete replacement. Certainly not going to throw in good money after bad and spend another $1300 for a new base. Trash.
Had a nordickTrack 1750 but unfortunately their customer service is awful. With having to replace 3 running boards and 1000s of miles on it, I decided to part ways with it. Just recently purchased the peloton tread with all the good reviews I’ve heard on it and warranty.
Thanks for this thorough review! I checked out the nordictrac 2450 and sole f85 per your recommendation but those are some large and less aesthetically pleasing options. Do you have any recommendations for treadmills that are slim and designed well like the Peloton Tread? I have no need for the classes so if I pull the trigger on this one, it would solely be for the design and size.
I don't have any video reviews on them yet, but some of the Echelon treadmills might fit what you are looking for. Technogym is very pricey, but their machines look very nice.
The classes are excellent and there are so many programs available, not only for running, but for strength, yoga, mediation and more. I highly recommend.
I’m torn between the Horizon 7.8 and Peloton tread 😩 I like the fact that the Horizon isn’t a subscription based treadmill but also have a Peloton bike which I pay the subscription for. I don’t care for the classes but now that they included entertainment I can’t seem to make my up my mind! Someone send help lol
I have both the peloton bike and tread and really enjoy seeing my metrics from both. But it’s also nice to have the flexibility to change apps whenever you want. Horizon connects to peloton from my understanding so you could probably still accurately track distance.
$1000 could be a good deal depending on the condition of the machine, but you won't have many training options with the Tread. Without a subscription, you can only adjust the speed and incline and watch a mostly blank screen.
Yes, you won't have all the features, but you can access their classes from your phone or tablet. You can do a free trial of Peloton App+ to see what it is like.
Strangely, I don't notice it at all, because the shaking is in time with my running. But, it is definitely a valid concern. I recommend checking out the Sole F85 and NordicTrack 2450!
I am an owner who is 190lbs. I find the tread to be sturdy and a great user experience. The knobs are a game changer and make changing speed and incline so much easier than other treadmills. When I am away from home I miss my tread vs hotel treads.
We have a peloton tread and we have a ton of problems with it definitely not worth the money. After speaking with peloton on the phone, their customer service is just as terrible as anyone else’s. I would not recommend the peloton tread or any peloton products to anyone it’s a lot of money for them just to blow you off and not fix your machine.
Great Review!
Thank you!

Thanks for the review we have the bike but we need more of a belly fat burner so we want to switch to the treadmill
thats not how it works mate
How would you say the cushioning on the Peloton deck compares to that of the Horizon 7.0 AT?
I love Peloton’s content, but not the price, so I’m considering the Horizon. But would also like a bit more cushion 😬
The Horizon 7.0 AT is definitely softer.
Can i watch my programs on that beautiful screen?

That's definitely a tough choice. If it helps, I really like using Peloton on my tablet with the Horizon 7.8 AT.

If you already pay for the classes in the bike they’ll be included with the treadmill
I have an opportunity to buy a tread for 1,000 dollars. Do you think this is worth it if I have no interest in the paid content?
$1000 could be a good deal depending on the condition of the machine, but you won't have many training options with the Tread. Without a subscription, you can only adjust the speed and incline and watch a mostly blank screen.
Put your cell phone or tablet in front of you.. Stream whatever content you want. I'm sure RUclips has some similar content for free!
Can you get a subscription for peloton and use it with another treadmill?
Yes, you won't have all the features, but you can access their classes from your phone or tablet. You can do a free trial of Peloton App+ to see what it is like.
Anyone know if you can program running patterns on these? Like run 3/4 of a mile than it switches down to walking 1/4 of a mile, then repeat.
The Peloton Tread does not have a custom workout option, just manual mode.
6k for a treadmill?? Ppl are giving old ones away for free on FB marketplace
Screen is shaking in your Vid like hell and ... by all means ... im sure im a lot more heavy then you, that cant be good for the userexperience
😀

Sounds so loud and I do not like that it has a hard running surface….bummer…what’s a good equivalent?
The NordicTrack 2450 is a great soft cushioned alternative. The cushioning should also help your foot noise sound quieter.
@@BestTreadmillReviews thank you so much..I’ll check it out

I just want a good treadmill. wtf do I need a flat screen tv and a subscription for 😂😂😂
Subscriptions definitely aren't for everyone! I suggest the Horizon 7.8 AT and the Horizon 7.4 AT if you don't want a screen or a subscription!
Hey peloton you sure advertise a lot it must be a piece of junk, oh yeah why you don't see fat people on these, probably cause it won't hold them😂
