Weslo Treadmills are not designed for very serious use, If you are a serious runner or athlete don’t buy a Weslo Treadmill.They are not dangerous and these treadmills are ok for walking and light use but that’s about their limit. The decks are small and the motors are weak.

Not everyone can justify spending a lot of money on a piece of fitness equipment. For recreational joggers and power walkers a Weslo treadmill for under $500 might be better choice, Also for the keep fit enthusiast who just wants an change from running outdoors on rainy days and during winter months.

Welso are manufactured by fitness giants Icon Fitness . Their other brands include Weider, Reebok, Proform and Image to name a few. Weslo are Icon’s absolute budget brand and this is reflected in their price which ranges from $200- $850.
A big criticism of Weslo treadmills is the short warranty on parts and labor. When you first purchase a Weslo treadmill you could extend the warranty,an extra year will cost you about $80.

Despite the fact that Weslo manufacture a large range of Treadmills, we will only focus on three models that offer the best value across the range.

Weslo Cadence C22 Treadmill

We Like: The Weslo Cadence C22 is a very basic Treadmill and not an option for serious runners. If you have tiny legs and you just want to power walk its fine. So what do we like about this Weslo? Well apart from the price of $249 nothing really! Ok it folds up so that when you purchase it and discover how bad it is, you can put it in the closet!

We Dislike: Well there’s a top speed of just 5 mph, so even if a serious runner climbs aboard, he/she will soon become just a serious power walker, and then he/she would have concentrate hard to stay on the tiny running surface. But at $249 you get what you pay for. A better idea would be to go for the Weslo L290 Treadmill, which is about $100 more.

Folding: Yes
Heart Rate: No
Maximum Incline: 10 %
Maximum Speed: 5 mph
Motor Size: 1.0 hp continuous duty
Running Surface: 40" x 13"

Weslo Cadence L290 Treadmill w/ Floating Cushioned Deck

We Like: This model, the Weslo Cadence L290 is a far better Treadmill than the C22 because at least it has a decent motor, that puts out 2.0 HP and gives it a top speed of 10 mph. There is also that Floating Cushioned Deck.

We Dislike: The warranty is poor and the Floating Cushioned Deck is still too small but for $349….

Folding: Yes
Heart Rate: No
Maximum Incline: 10 %
Maximum Speed: 10 mph
Motor Size: 2.0 hp continuous duty
Running Surface: 45" x 16"

Weslo Cadence C62 Treadmill w/Grip Pulse.

We Like: The Weslo C62 is a sub $500 machine and it feels like a budget machine, but it is laden with all the gizmos usually associated with treadmills costing 3 times as much.If you are a walker and your legs are not too big, the Weslo Cadence C62 Treadmill might be for you

We Dislike: For the money we really cant criticize this machine too much.

Folding: Yes
Heart Rate: Yes
Maximum Incline: 10%
Maximum Speed: 10mph
Motor Size: 2.0 hp continuous duty
Running Surface: 50" x 20"
