Freemotion Freemotion i10.9b Incline Trainer Treadmill Review

How long will the Freemotion Freemotion i10.9b Incline Trainer last?

The Freemotion i10.9b Incline Trainer has a massive shipping weight of 731 lbs. and can hold users up to a hefty 400 lbs. It is a beast of a machine at 7” long and requires dedicated workout space due to its size even though it is smaller than previous models. It comes with a rather limited home warranty with only 7 years on the frame and motor, 2 years on the parts and console, and 1 year on labor. In this price range that is practically a death knoll with other manufacturers offering lifetime warranties on frames and motors. Despite the warranty, moderate to heavy users should get a decent number of years out of this machine with proper care and maintenance. If you spend this much on a machine and leave it plugged in all the time and located in your garage, then you will learn a quick lesson on the longevity in treadmills.
