whats the big deal?

I don't know why these are rated so well. I actually sell Sole treadmills at Dicks Sporting Goods and they are mediocre at best. There are lots of treadmills out there and I really doubt this ones deserves 3 best buy recommendations. I just work out at a gym now, but I'll be the first to admit, if I was going to buy a treadmill I would stick with names you see in the gym, like True, Life Fitness, Precor, Landice, Pacemaster. They are going to cost more but at least you only have to buy one, and not replace it every couple years. Sole is also sold online but I always wondered why someone would buy a treadmill without even trying it or seeing it in person. For them to be so highly rated on this site makes me wonder if someone is getting paid to do so.
