Weslo Treadmill Review - The Lowest End Treadmill of All

Get ready for an intense, straight to the point review on all the Weslo treadmill models. Are they worth the low price, where do they stand relative to other low ended treadmills? These are just few of the many questions we will answer. First off let’s go over Weslo’s …

Company Background

As with the Image, Reebok, Nordic Track, Healthrider and Proform treadmills, the Weslo treadmill is produced by Icon Health and Fitness. With over 1 billion in sales, Icon stands to be a big if not the biggest retail fitness company in the world.

Weslo is the entry level brand of Icon. What does this mean? They are the lowest priced treadmills on the market. Their treadmills range from $129 to $699. The word “cheap” is definitely a good word to describe these low priced treadmills. But don’t get your hopes up because the phrase “low priced treadmills” is often a disguise for “low quality treadmills”. Before being cynical we will try and look on the bright side by discussing Weslo’s…

Strong Point

Weslo is an affordable priced treadmill brand. Weslo treadmills are the least expensive treadmills on the market. Paying $129 on a treadmill is peanuts but this does come with a price to pay which we discuss in the weak points.

Being able to go overseas to find lower priced components, Weslo has upped the ante by adding a longer warranty on their motors. This does not mean they offer a good warranty, it just means they have improved their treadmills credibility (not by much) by increasing their motor warranty.

Weak Point

Like most treadmills, you get what you pay for. Paying the low price on a Weslo treadmill will give you a low quality machine with a short warranty of 90 days on parts. If you are a serious runner, expect to pay over $1500 for a decent and reliable treadmill. Otherwise, we strongly recommend you buy a Weslo treadmill to walk on, nothing more. Running or even light jogging will break it apart in no time.

Weslo treadmills have extremely weak motor powers. They range from manual (that’s right, no motor power) to 1.5 CHP motors. A 1.5 continuous horse power motor is the minimum requirement we recommend on a treadmill. Otherwise, the belt will slip every time pressure persists and it won’t be long before the motor gives out.

There are very few features offered with a Weslo treadmill. This is not a very important criterion but other brands in similar price ranges, such as Image, offer more enticing overall packages.

Expert Reviews

After looking at TreadmillDoctor’s website we noticed they used the word “breakdown” quite often to describe Weslo treadmills.

Conclusion

If you are on a tight budget, a Weslo treadmill can meet your price expectancy however we don’t encourage you to take that path. It’s low quality, weak stability, low power, and lack of features heavily out weighs its affordability.

Weslo Cadence G-25 Treadmill

Weslo Treadmill - weslo cadence g-25 treadmill 

The narrow 13 inch belt on this Weslo treadmill will make you feel like you’re walking the tightrope. We strongly recommend you take the time to test out the treadmill and see if the walking area is comfortable and non claustrophobic. The Weslo Cadence G25 treadmill has a poor overall rating but if we had to choose between this model and the Weslo Cadence C22 treadmill we would stick with this one.

Weslo Cadence C22 Treadmill

Weslo Cadence C32 Treadmill

Weslo Treadmill - weslo cadence c32 treadmill 

This Weslo treadmill has a much better value then the Weslo Cadence C22 Treadmill. For the same price you get a larger walking area, a stronger motor and a cushioned deck. The belt size is still below average and the warranty only covers the treadmills parts for 90 days.

Weslo Cadence DS 10 Treadmill

Weslo Treadmill - weslo cadence ds 10 treadmill 

The width of the belt on the Weslo Cadence DS10 traedmill is looking a bit better but the length is still a little short. If you had to choose a Weslo treadmill that costs less than $300, this one would be runner up to the Weslo Cadence DS 11 Treadmill.

Deck - Non Reversible

Speed - 0 to 8mph

Weslo Cadence DS 11 Treadmill

Weslo Treadmill - weslo cadence ds 11 treadmill 

The only reason the Weslo Cadence DS 11 Treadmill takes the thrown for the best Weslo treadmill under $300 is because of its existing cushioning deck and larger belt size. But, overall, this treadmill still rates weak on its quality, stability, warranty and reliability.

Price - $299
Belt - 16 x 45 in
Deck - Non Reversible
Motor - 2.0 THP
Speed - 0 to 10mph
Incline - 4 Positions

Weslo Cadence C44 Treadmill

Weslo Treadmill - weslo cadence c44 treadmill 

The huge plus of this Weslo treadmill is its added heart rate monitor. You can keep track of your intensity level through monitoring your heart rate. There is also a 1 year motor warranty, which shows some improvement from the basic 90 days.

Other than that, there’s nothing spectacular about this model. At $399, we recommend you take a look at the Proform or Image treadmills. You will get a better warranty and much more features.

Price - $399, On Sale at Walmart for $299.53
Belt - 16 x 47 in
Deck - Non Reversible
Motor - 1.3 CHP

Weslo Treadmill - weslo cadence 340 cs treadmill 

This Weslo treadmill is basically the same as the Weslo Cadence C44 Treadmill but with a different look to it and added 1-lb., 2-lb., 3-lb hand Weights. Both are low quality treadmills that will cause you problems.

Weslo Cadence C78 Treadmills - *BEST VALUE WITHIN WESLO*

Weslo Treadmill - weslo cadence c78 treadmill 

If we had to choose a Weslo treadmill, this one would be it. All low end treadmills are known to have low quality components and this model is no exception, but for its price it is quite the package. It has a respectable belt size that will give you more breathing space, 5 workout programs and a heart rate monitor. Remember, this is no mid end or high end treadmill so running on it may be a little iffy. This is why we hope you will only use it to walk on or, at most, light jog.

For $500, this stands strong compared to other models in its price range. At its standing price, asking for more would be a little greedy. This is why if you want a treadmill with a better quality, be ready to pay more. Otherwise, this one will do fine.

Price - $499
Belt - 18 x 54 in
Deck - Non Reversible
Motor - 2.5 THP
Speed - 0 to 10mph
Incline - 0 to 10%
Folding -Yes
Heart Rate - Yes, EasyPulse Heart Rate Monitor
Heart Rate Control - No
Wireless Chest Strap - No
Programs - 5 Progrmas
Features - Water Bottle Holder, SpaceSaver® Design, Comfort Cell™ Cushioning, iFIT® Compatible, 2 Speed CoolAire Workout Fan
Display - Speed, time, distance, calories and fat calories burned
Warranty - 90 Days
