Bladez Treadmills
Bladez treadmills sell for over a thousand dollars retail, but are they worth the price tag? Depending on the model you select, you could easily shell out $4,000 for one of these home fitness machines. Whether they are actually worth that amount of money really depends on the model you select and what you intend to actually do with the machine.
The most affordable model is the Bladez T1 Sport Folding Treadmill. It is a more basic model that is intended to serve as a high quality space saving unit. Thus, it does have a smaller sized frame with a belt surface of just 18” x 53”. The perk is that it comes with a lifetime warranty on the body as well as the motor.
There are seven other models in this series and each has different features, but the T1 is the entry level model. It is equipped with a 2.0 HP motor which is capable of going up to 10 mph and a 12% maximum incline. It comes with a nice sized console with 6 preprogrammed workouts and includes hand grips with built-in heart rate monitors. A water bottle holder and small tray for personal belongings is also added in
For those who can afford to pay a little more, the Bladez DX7T MEO Treadmill sells for less than $2,000 retail. It is equipped with a bit more power in the 2.57 HP motor and still folds up to save space. Yet, it delivers a larger walking or running surface with a 20” x 55” belt.
In Bladez treadmill reviews, consumers who own this model are impressed with the stylish body design as well as the nicely lit LED display. The extra technology features such as a 7” TV screen built right into the console also get a lot of praise. It is capable of going up to 10 mph and 12% maximum incline. With 14 preprogrammed workouts, users up to 325 pounds will enjoy a lot of variety to keep them motivated.
In the higher price ranges, the Bladez Voyager Treadmill and Bladez Mercury Treadmill are two of the best models. They both retail for less than $4,500 and offer large running belts that measure 22” x 60”. They both have a powerful 3.5 HP motor, though the Voyager’s motor is an AC. These motors are known to run for longer periods of time without overheating, making this model suitable for those who will put it through longer, and more intense running sessions.
The Voyager will go up to 12 mph with a maximum incline of 15%. The Mercury is the same incline but will go up to 12.5 miles per hour. Both come with a lifetime warranty on the frame and motor.
The biggest difference between the two seems to be the energy saving function of the Mercury. It is designed with modern technology that allows it to use less energy, which is good for the environment and the electric bill.
Bladez treadmills are rich in features, including some of the best technologically advanced offerings on the market. Yet, they are still strong and durable with nothing lacking in the functional department.
