Detailed Test Results

Controls: The speed dial operates as expected with a forward adjustment action increasing speed and a rearward action decreasing the speed. The control size is considered excellent, making it easy to operate while exercising. The incline dial operates as expected with a forward adjustment action increasing the incline and a rearward action decreasing the incline. The button size is considered excellent, making it easy to operate while exercising. Display: The monitor displays white characters on a black colored background. The size of the characters showing the "speed" is considered excellent and the size of the characters showing "incline" is considered excellent. Individual exercise statistics are displayed in separated areas. Programs: A list of programs is shown on the display. There is no graphical illustration of the program's exercise profile shown on the display. Ergonomics: The step-up height to the running deck is 11.5 inches from the floor. This machine has a full front-handrail. A partial side-handrail provides both security and easy access. Exercise: The minimum incline for this machine is 0 percent. The maximum incline is 14.3 percent. The manufacturer-stated, top speed is 12.5 mph. A top speed of 12.4 mph was measured. Construction: This machine features a 3-phase motor with a 2 hp rating (residential treadmills typically have single phase motors). The 4 floor-levelers provide maximum leveling capability. Performance on our durability test - simulating a half-year of usage - was very good but wear was evident. Safety: The "stop" button size was considered excellent. The magnetic style safety-key disengaged without issue when a user approached the end of the running belt, which stopped the motor and running belt as expected. After the safety key was removed from its receptacle, the running belt coasted to a stop from a speed of 6 mph, in 1 second. The average stopping time for all tested treadmills is 5.7 seconds. There is no motor housing at the front of the running belt to interfere with a user's stride.

About

The Peloton Tread+ is part of the Treadmills test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Treadmills models like the Tread+ are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Ergonomics: A high score means the treadmill’s design, like belt size and width, accommodates a wide range of body shapes and sizes. A top-scoring model supports higher weight limits and comfortably fits users with both smaller and larger bodies."

Construction: A high score means the treadmill is built for durability and resists wear. Our testing simulates six months of use. A top-scoring model should last longer with consistent performance."

Ease of use: A high score means the treadmill is easy to operate, with well-designed controls and a clear display. A top-scoring model typically offers more built-in programs and intuitive features that make workouts easier to start and manage."
