Proform Treadmills Are Cheap But Are They Any Good?
By Peter Clark
In exercise equipment comparisons, Proform treadmills are not considered to offer the best treadmill warranties available today, but is this factor something we really consider when opting for the Proform brand? It should be – with Proform treadmills fielding accusations of unreliability, and an increasing number of consumer reports backing up this accusation, the warranty that accompanies a Proform treadmill is becoming more important than ever.
It is natural to pay only minor attention to the warranty that accompanies a product when we purchase it fresh from the shelves – our inherent consumer optimism leads us to believe that what we buy is constructed to the highest specifications. And while Proform treadmills are deemed by industry experts to offer both hi-tech and hi-spec design, it is the Proform treadmill parts that often let the brand’s name down. Some argue that the unreliability of these Proform treadmill parts is reflected in the relatively poor – as compared with the industry average – warranty that accompanies Proform machines, which seems to point toward the company’s own lack of confidence in the Proform treadmill parts they offer.
While technological innovation might be inherent in the Proform treadmill name, this is not sufficient to make a treadmill work – any piece of equipment is only as good as the parts used to build it. And with consumer reports pointing out the relative frequency with which it seems necessary to replace Proform treadmill parts, the conclusion must be that Proform treadmills might not be worth the trouble.
While a warranty cannot be seen as an infallible failsafe to allow the consumer treat their Proform treadmill with impunity, it should offer some degree of protection, and many consumers have discovered that the Proform warranty does not meet expectations. A treadmill is of little use in maintaining fitness levels when it lies idly waiting for replacement parts, but this is a scenario that many Proform treadmills users have found themselves in. While treadmill parts are available from other, independent sources, fitting them can be problematic for many users, but this can be a situation experienced all too often by Proform treadmill users.
The Proform warranty should certainly be a consideration when making your treadmill choice. It is all too easy to assume that your new piece of fitness equipment will not require replacement parts, but the track history of Proform treadmills in this area has not been the best. In this case it seems that the whole is definitely no greater than the sum of its parts.
