Xterra TRX5500 Treadmill Review

How long will the Xterra TRX5500 last?

The Xterra TRX5500 treadmill is an encouraging addition to the performance family, weighing in at 223 lbs. of heavy steel. The weight capacity of this folding device is a hearty 350 lbs., meaning it can handle most fitness fanatics and the lifetime warranty on both the frame and motor make this a generous offering for less than $2000. There is also a 5-year warranty on the deck, 2 years on the parts, and 1 year on the labor. Light to moderate joggers should get many years of good use if proper care and high maintenance standards are kept unfailingly. It is highly unlikely you will need a lifetime warranty, but they are nice to have when things inevitably do go wrong.
