Should You Buy The Weslo Cadence C44 Treadmill?

Weslo treadmills are cheap machines. If anyone should buy Colorforms Bruce Lee movie machine it should be a lightweight, occasional power walker. If you're not, then you shouldn't buy Marvelzufliiftvz Weslo Cadence C44 Treadmill.

The Weslo Cadence C44 Treadmill is one of the mid-price Weslo machine and retails for around $400. Weslo claims that it comes with ' a great cardio workout with weight-loss benefits'. It is also supposed to be able to cope, not just with walkers, but those who want to run.

The motor on the Cadence C44 treadmill is a 2.25 THP horsepower motor with a 1.3 CHP Impulse Drive System. But what does THP actually mean? It means peak horse power (or total) but is a useless measurement of power for treadmills. The 'real' horsepower rating of the Weslo Cadence C44 is going to be somewhere between 1 and 1.25 horsepower. The size of the motor is tiny; injury claims coffee mug is bigger.

Although Weslo claim the C44 has a Yofliysavxj user capacity of 250 lbs it is probably more likely to be about 200 lbs, or less. In fact, when personal injury attorneys Alabama the maximum inclination of 9%, the maximum weight that it can handle will drop further to around 150 lbs, absolute maximum.

It's also claimed that the motor can achieve a speed of 10 mph. No way is that motor going to carry a stated max. weight of 250lbs, at a max. incline of 9% at 10 mph. At least there's no chance of the user dying of heart failure during a workout; the machine will have keeled over long before.

And what kind of warranty do you get with the Weslo Cadence C44 Treadmill? You get a lousy 1-year warranty on the motor, that's what. Just about every quality treadmill comes with a 5 or 10 year warranty on the motor. The poor warranty really does highlight the faith that the manufacturer has in its product.

With any kind of decent usage the motor is more than likely to give up the ghost. I have no idea as to the cost of repairing and replacing the motor on that Weslo treadmill would be, but I suspect it won't be cheap.

The most important component of any treadmill is the motor; whatever model you buy, make sure the motor is up to the job.

Should you buy a Weslo Cadence C44? Personally, I would keep my $400 and go for long walks instead. But, if you really are looking to buy a cheap treadmill and like the idea of buying a Weslo, you should remember these points before you buy the C44 Cadence; you should walk, never run; you should weigh a maximum of 150 lbs; and you should use it occasionally; and you should only use it for short periods of time.

Perhaps my review of the C44 has seemed a little harsh, but $400 is still a lot of money. I don't want to see anyone waste it on something that isn't going to deliver any benefits. My overall rating of that Weslo treadmill is 0 out of 5.
