Best Review of Horizon T101-3 2012

The Horizon Fitness T101-3 Treadmill (2012 Model) is great. Not too difficult to assemble but it is quite large so assemble it where you are going to place it to be used. The only downside is the fan which does not really blow on you per se. Otherwise it is a very nice treadmill.

Here is an excerpt for one "Save Money" review.

Only used the treadmill a few days, but built solid. Heavier than I expected, but seems to be built to last. Did have an issue with the first one that was shipped, since the shipper (freight company) damaged the packaging, and had minor damage to the treadmill. For the money I paid, did not want to take a chance, so I refused the package, and had another one sent. Took five more days, but was worth the wait. Great product, since it has settings to accommodate the whole family. Definitely would recommend.( read more here )

What we think. 
Pros:
1: very very stable, no shaking at all. The frame is very solid and heavy
2: Easy to move (there are four wheels)
3: folding option(when folding down, it goes very slowly and gently to prevent injuries)
4: it's that simple, hit start, adjust the elevate on the left, adjust the speed from 0.5 to 10 on the right, then you are on your way. of course, you can use the preset 9 programs.
5: speaker: hook your smart phone (don't have to be iphone) or any mp3 player, you listen to music while running
6: fan: the little fan on the console helps cool you down in hot summer
7: instruction is quite intuitive. Following the instruction, after 3 steps, better with an assistant (don't have to be a mussel man), then you are all set.
8: pretty quiet

cons:
1: the speaker is an OK speaker. the sound is lousy when adjusting volume to very high. but what do you expect at this price point
2: the instruction use the length of screws to illustrate. It would be more helpful if they can also refer the label on the plastic bag of the screws.
3: The borders of the console panel is made of very thin plastic

installation tips:
1: step one (8mm shortest screws 8 in a bag)
2: step two (20mm screws 4 each bag, 8 in total)
3: step three(15mm screws 4 a bag, 4 in total)
4: the largest screw driver is for lubricating the tension of the mat.
5: make sure to keep the lead wire which is for getting the power cord plugged into your console

About the white glove delivery experience:
1 My carrier is pilot.
2 Amazon sends you two emails: one for shipment confirmation; another for scheduling delivery. You can also call to schedule, otherwise they will call you.
3 It was great that two guys delivered to my basement. But they made it clear that they don't do unpacking.

Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good treadmill at a reasonable price.
