The Good:
The entry-level Pro 2000 delivers more than most similarly priced treadmills. Testers liked how quickly and smoothly it changed speed and incline--getting the machine whirring as fast as 12 mph takes just one finger tap. "Plus, it shows mileage to the thousandths place," says RW senior editor Meghan Loftus. "So if you're really anal, that's pretty nice."
The Gripe:
Quibbles were minor: The display is unnecessarily busy, and it shows only speed, not pace, which runners are more accustomed to seeing. Loftus liked that it had speakers, but says, "It was hard to hear podcasts over the fan and belt."
