Spirit Treadmills Reviewed
Are They for You?Spirit treadmills are known for their product innovations. The Company Behind Spirit TreadmillsSpirit was established in the early 80’s but it was not until the later that decade did they started selling fitness equipment. They once manufactured all their machines in the U.S. until Dyaco purchased majority of the company. Now, all treadmill productions are done offshore. Dyaco is a manufacturer of exercise equipment which hails from Taiwan. They are also the treadmill producer of Sole treadmills. The company has manufacturing plants in both Taiwan and China. Dyaco also has its own R&D department, which dedicate their time to the development of new and efficient equipment. This is probably the reason why Spirit is so known for their product innovation. Price Range CategorySpirit treadmills belong in the mid-priced range category. Their treadmills are currently being sold at around $1,000 to a little $2,000. With these price tags, you’ll get beautifully designed treadmills with good warranties. What Spirit Lacks…Spirit needs to improve the quality of their equipment. In an effort to provide better features while maintaining its affordable price, Dayco replaced good treadmill parts with average treadmill parts and moved the production offshore which resulted to the decline of their machine’s quality. RecommendationTo conclude, Spirit Treadmills are affordable, great looking, and has nice features. But until they improve their quality, I can’t recommend this brand. I believe there are other comparable treadmills out there with way better quality. Where To BuyIf after reading my recommendation, you would still want to buy Spirit treadmills, I suggest you buy from Amazon.com.
