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.

One of the nice things about Proform treadmills are the choices you will have in the running surface. You can choose from a soft running surface or a firm one. With Proform treadmills each runner can adjust the surface for the run they prefer.

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.

Obviously, a 90 day warranty doesn’t show much confidence in their products. Also, each Proform crosswalk treadmill is notorious for their lack of motor power, and tend to run out very quickly.
