Image Treadmills

Who Is It For?

Image treadmills are perfect for those on a limited budget. So if you're looking for a budget treadmill, then this

brand might be of interest to you. However, I must warn you that like most budget treadmills, most of these Image units also come with below average quality. So don’t expect these treadmills to be problem-free for very long.

The Company behind Image Treadmills

Image is another one of those brands that are being made by Icon Health and Fitness. Image is actually one of the least popular brands from Icon which explains why they are being sold for such low prices.

Icon is the largest manufacturer and marketer of exercise equipment in the world. Icon owns and manufactures some of the most well-known brands in the fitness industry including ProForm, Weslo, and HealthRider, and licenses the popular Reebok and Gold’s Gym brands. In addition to manufacturing, the company also performs all marketing, research, development and industrial design for these product lines.

Image's Price Range Category

Image models belong to the low to mid price range category with treadmills being sold from as low as $400 to some as high as $1,700. Most of these treadmills only have a 90 day warranty, which is something to be expected since budget treadmills usually don't last very long. Lately however, the comapny has been producing above average machines (Advanced series) with better quality and longer warranties at the same rock-bottom price.

What Image Lacks

According to my research, there had been some complaints regarding Image's customer service. Other than that, they have fixed all their other problems in the past including their product's quality and the length of their warranties with their Advanced models.

Recommendation

In conclusion, Image treadmills are recommended especially for price conscious individuals. They have improved on most of their weaknesses in the past few years which makes them one of the better entry level treadmill brands. However, I must warn you that most websites still sell older models from Image which comes with poor quality and short warranties. You should avoid these models as they would only cause you headaches. I suggest you stick only with Advanced series models.
