User Reviews about Horizon Fitness T91 Treadmill

Arrived in good shape. Took several people to move it to desired location. REALLY important to do no unpacking until carton is in place.

Only tool needed was a box knife to cut straps, remove packing materials. The provided Allen wrenches were actually better quality than those in my reasonably well equiped shop. And, they are unusually large sizes so my shop now has several additions.

Followed assembly instructions scrupulously. No hassles and, working solo, had it running within 30 minutes, even after studying diagrams, thinking, studying parts, visualizing, reexamining diagrams in manual at each step. Parts for each assembly stage are separately bagged in numbered bags, a helpful touch. Absolutely no problems with pieces fitting once I got the assembly figured out and alignment of parts just right. Having a helper hold several of the parts in place would speed things up; I found myself contorted, bracing a piece with one part of my body while getting a bolt in place.

Any such machine is a compromise between stability (read, basically, mass), portability, and cost. I think the T91 is reasonable combination for home use. While heftier than some of the cheaper models, its spring loading lets anybody lift bed and role machine out of the way. Still, I am 6'5", weighing 215lbs: when going at a fast walk/slow jog (4 mph), 10% incline, pedestal book rack vibrates enough that I get nauseated trying to read my Kindle. So, exercise time lets me catch up on podcasts.

I do not use the treadmill to really run so don't know how it would handle that stress. I suspect it would be OK if user is not too heavy. Bed width and length work fine for a person of my size.

Clear instructions for maintenance along with lubricant necessary for initial 6-month tuneup. I really appreciate such touches rather than the manufacturers who try to pretend like their product will run forever with no attention necessary.

The fan is a very nice touch. The heartrate monitor gives erratic results, something I also sometimes find on the Cadillac models in health clubs. If this measure is important, I would recommend one of the chest-strap-wrist-readout gizmo's. Owner's manual suggests the same. Such monitors are very accurate and have come down a lot in price.

Great machine! Only problem are some of the assembly instructions. Be patient. -- Beats walking in the rain

Don't expect a club treadmill for this price, adjust your expectations accordingly. Quality product, very good for walking, running is possible too.
Purchase and shipment was smooth, 2 days before the expected delivery date call was made to arrange a date and time for the delivery. Delivery men were very friendly, so very satisfied with delivery.
Assembly was quite easy - took me only probably 2 hrs and most time was spent reading instructions.
Started using it immediately after assembly, makes annoying beeps after every change in settings, I definetely will destroy the speaker. Be patient when adjusting running track (left-right), use a low speed and wait little-bit after every adjustment.
So far fully satisfied. -- Satisfied

I have used this machine for over 7 months. When you look at machines it is importanat to look at the weight it can handle if your a bigger person trying to loss weight. well i lost 15 lbs using this machine. It was really nice to give your self goals to move up in. sinc ethis machine can change percent grade and speed it was nice. The only problem with it was in the beginning. I was not adjusted right and made a horrible racket when it was turned on. So i tightend the motor and it was fixed. Also it is not easly at all to oil under the belt. But the display everyitng has been ran every day almost since i have had it. -- bang for the buck
