Star Trac TR 901 Treadmill  Review

$3,299.99

The TR901 treadmill is built around a 12-gauge welded steel uniframe for superior stability. Its Impact Absorption System™ is derived from the commercial product line and was rated Number One against major competitors in an independent study. The deck is reversible to double its life span. Both the deck and belt are rated for 6,000 miles. Advanced Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology enables our powerful 2 HP continuous duty motor to draw less current. It also puts less stress on electrical components and allows a smooth, accurate full speed range, especially at lower speeds.

What We Like : The Star Trac 901 sits at the bottom of the Star Trac range, but they claim it is made from commercial strength components and we can confirm that it feels very strong. Power is a little low from the 2.0 HP motor, but top speed is adequate at 10 mph. The equipment levels are average with all the necessities being present such as polar heart arte telemetry, and no less than 250 workout programs.

What We Dislike : That 2.0 HP motor is too small for this Star Trac, Ok it will probably outlast many cheaper 2.5 HP motors.

As a comparison, Smooth treadmills from Smooth Fitness should be considered.In terms of build quality, design, and sheer value for money, these treadmills are better than other brands costing twice or three times as much – you will find it hard to beat Smooth Treadmills.
