Comment:
Love this treadmill. I have always treaded running on a treadmill, but with kids....life changes! This treadmill has a very solid feel. I wanted a folding treadmill, but they simply didn't feel as good. I like the simplicity of the 9.31. No money is spent on silly fans or terrible speakers. My only complaint is that for the price, the software features of the 9.33 should be on the 9.31 (user ID's and custom programming).
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I have had this treadmill for 2 years. I went with Precor because I already owned their Elliptical (very pleased) and hoped quality I found in the Elliptical would be found in the treadmill. They did not disappoint. I use the Treadmill 3 times a week. Before purchasing I was concerned that the slightly shorter belt length would be a disadvantage, however it has never been an issue whether I'm jogging or walking. The extra 2 inches in belt width compared to most is very nice. I have not once had a maintenance issue that required I call for service. Only one time I had to adjust the belt to be more centered (very easy). The treadmill is definitely low impact and comfortable to use. Not having to wax the deck is a real plus. It looks great and is very sturdy and provides ample enough metrics and programs. I love monitoring my heart rate while exercising. Precor makes a sturdy, reliable product.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
The only difference in ratings between the Precor and Landice is Ease of Use. I tried both treadmills and wonder how CR could think the Landice was easier to use! In addition, I found the Landice too stiff with an awkward belt control while the Precor felt like running outside on a perfect surface.<br /><br />I have owned 3 Precor Treadmills since 1990 and never had a single service problem.

This one really performs well for walkers and runners

Induces gas from milk drinkers
This treadmill performs very well. I havent used it or used it regularly for the past year or anything but I can tell by the number of times its mentioned on the internet that it certainly does power up and start moving its belt. The only weakness I have found so far is obese people, who are always big dairy consumers, will really let them rip if they use this powerful treadmill. Unless they break it first & flatten it to the floor by trying to run on it like an angry water buffalo, you better not be around when they start releasing their fury. I mean it could start raining in the room. Watch for lightning & thunderstorms. It will smell sooo bad.....So hide it from people who drink milk, OK? Thats all I can think of right now. If I think of anything else Ill let you know. If you want to see any more of my reviews, see womens girdles. Bye.
