Weslo Deluxe Treadmill - You'll Need Luck To Find One
Weslo Deluxe treadmill models are out-of-production models from Weslo, an entry-level brand for Icon Health and Fitness, the largest manufacturer of sports equipment in the world.
All Weslo current models sell for less than $700.
Icon uses the Weslo brand name for models it manufactures exclusively for large retailers like Sears and Walmart.
Except for the Cadence C78, all Weslo trainers are small, cheaply made, and suitable only for people who are also small and limit their sports training to walking.
Still, Weslo Deluxe treadmills have a 2.5 HP motor and, like all Weslo models, don't do much damage to your wallet.
Stay Current
Older Weslo equipment is a questionable buy.
Weslo treadmills are intended to be entry-level, not for heavy training or sports fitness, and they sell so inexpensively, especially when discounted by the large retailers who usually sell them, it makes little sense to take a chance on a used older model like the 850 or the Weslo 920.
Although the 920 features a adjustable incline and readouts for calories, speed, distance, and pulse through thumb pulse grips, a newer model like the Cadence 78s gives all that and more in a new model suitable for light running and more intense training, if that's all you can afford.
The C78 is equipped with a 2.75 HP motor for speeds up to 10MPH. Its deck is 18x54" and has a powered incline up to 10%.
A pulse heart rate monitor is standard, as are five built-in programs and optional iFitĀ®, Icon's interactive technology.
Most Weslo treadmills, new or used, are fold-away designs.
Be careful of the warranty, warn those who review Weslo treadmills. Icon warranties have the image of being notoriously weak usually covering the motor pretty well while covering the rest for only 90 days.
