Image 15.0 R review highlights

Usually, owners are more enthusiastic about budget-priced treadmills than experts. That's why it's interesting that TreadmillDoctor.com is relatively upbeat about the Image 15.0 R treadmill, calling it "a very basic machine that is well packaged." Meanwhile, the handful of owner reviews we found for the Image 15.0 R treadmill aren't as positive. Owners complain about frequent breakdowns and costly repairs. The verdict appears to be that the budget price of this treadmill can't quite compensate for its small (50" x 17") belt and repair issues.

The budget-priced Image 15.0 R treadmill has been rated by a handful of owners posting comments at Amazon.com. We found a single professionally written review for the Image 15.0 R at TreadmillDoctor.com -- which doesn't sell the machines it discusses. Although the magazine has tested other Image treadmills, Consumer Reports has not rated the Image 15.0 R treadmill.
