The Horizon T100 Treadmill – Good Machine with No Frills

The Buzz

UPDATE:  The Horizon T100 treadmill is no longer available for sale and has since been replaced by newer models.

If you're looking for a similar model check out the Horizon T101, a similarly priced model with improvements in all areas.

The new T101 has upgraded nearly everything on the treadmill: it has a larger 20" x 55" walking area, a 300-lb user capacity, built-in speakers and MP3 input jack, a hydraulic Featherlight™ lift system, better warranty, and a more durable 2.25 CHP motor.

All that for the same price...that's hard to beat.  Check out the new model today to see if it has what you are looking for.

The Horizon T100 treadmill has a 1.75 hp continuous duty drive motor, a belt speed up to 10 mph, an incline up to 10% in .5% increments, a 1.4mm belt thickness, and a small 18" x 52" walking area.

Other features include a built-in fitness fan, a folding frame for easy storage, and contact grips on the handlebars for heart rate monitoring.

User reviews say that this is a good machine with no frills and they would recommend it to others.

It gets above average marks for design and overall value, although it has garnered some critical remarks for the poor 90-day warranty and the cheaper parts used in construction.

The Horizon T100 Review - Bottom Line

The Horizon T100 treadmill is a discontinued model that may still be available, but what you really want is the newer, popular Horizon T101 model. It is the same price, right around $599 when it's on sale.

If you're looking for something a little more advanced, we would look at the Adventure Series and the top of the line Elite models.  

These treadmills provide more durability and are more capable of handling heavier usage and running.

But for very basic usage, and some easy workouts, the T100 and later versions are perfectly fine.
