Ironman 320t Review

What the reviewers like:
Since the Ironman 320t treadmill has a weight limit of 350 pounds (about 100 pounds more than the average budget treadmill), it's a good choice for heavier walkers shopping in this price range. Otherwise, it has all the usual features. Owners say it's easy to assemble and move.

What the reviewers don't like:
We read a few durability and maintenance complaints from owners about the Ironman 320t treadmill, although reviews are mainly positive overall. Although the high user-weight-limit is a plus, other budget treadmills get better reviews overall.

Ironman 320t review highlights

In treadmill reviews, the Ironman 320t is said to be average for its price class. This folding treadmill has the usual features, including a heart-rate monitor. Its 56" x 20" belt is a little short compared to some of the competition, but the Ironman 320t has a 350-pound user weight limit, which is higher than other budget treadmills. That makes it a good choice for heavier walkers shopping in this price range. Another consideration in this price range is the New Balance 1400 (*est. $1,000).
