ProForm 750

Pros
  • Owners posting on Sears.com are satisfied with the ProForm 750 treadmill, calling it a good treadmill at a bargain price.
Cons
  • The ProForm 750 treadmill broke down during one major test simulating a year of use, and experts criticize this machine's warranty: 12 years on the motor but just 90 days for everything else. Some owners posting on Amazon.com complain of breakdowns and broken parts.

We found mainly mixed reviews for the ProForm 750 treadmill. This treadmill's belt broke down during one major test simulating a year of use, and an expert treadmill source ridicules its warranty --12 years on the motor, but a mere 90 days for everything else. Oddly enough, a handful of owners posting on Amazon.com complain about breakdowns and poorly made parts, but owners posting on Sears.com (which sells ProForm treadmills) are almost unanimously positive.

We found the best reviews of the ProForm 750 treadmill at TreadmillDoctor.com, a site that doesn't sell the treadmills it reviews. Consumer Reports also included the ProForm 750 treadmill in its 2006 category roundup (but not its more recent tests). The ProForm 750 treadmill also receives some owner-written reviews at Sears.com and Amazon.com.

1. TreadmillDoctor.com

What sinks this treadmill in the estimation of TreadmillDoctor.com is that the motor has a 12-year warranty, but the rest of the machine is only covered for 90 days. They do say it has a nice design.
