Treadmill

Well we have been in the market for a new treadmill for the last couple of weeks, and the search has finally come to an end. After many night's of going to different places and looking at different models and brands (Nordic Trac, Reebok, Landice, Precor, Life Fitness, Bladez, and Vision just to name a few), we have finally found a winner!

We decided to go with a Bladez treadmill. It is the best model they make. It has an 11 inch tv, built in entertainment system (speakers), fan, orthopedic shock absorbing deck, Ekg monitoring, many different programs, and thats just to name a few. One of the main reasons we decided to go with it was the excellent warranty. Lifetime on the frame and motor, 10 year parts and labor. If you have shopped treadmills you know that is great! The only thing better was the Landice which was lifetime on everything and even allowed you to pass it on to benificiary's. The only thing was that you could tell that was included in the price and not as many features on the treadmill.

The Bladez treadmill we almost bought was a floor model. Bladez no longer makes that model of treadmill and they were selling their last one for 1300.00 off! We thought it was a good deal. However after we got it, the next day Carey found the same treadmill new online for 1800.00 off! We weren't too happy about this, however the place we were getting it at said that they would match the price. That was great and all, but now we are talking about the difference between a new one and a used one. We could have had the used one the next day, but we would have to wait up to 3 weeks on the new one for processing and shipping. We decided to be patient and get the new one. The other benefit was no sales tax when buying online. If you didnt know this before, make sure you look online especially when purchasing big ticket items as they are alot cheaper when not having to pay that tax. Just a tip from the Thompson's there.

So we are looking very forward to getting the new treadmill so we can get started losing some weight!
