How long will the Proform Cadence LT last?
The Proform Cadence LT is an entry-level treadmill. The short warranty tells us that Icon must not have faith in their frame and motor lasting more than a year. The 90-day parts and labor warranty is a bit disappointing as well. Despite this, if you are a walker and smaller than average you may get a few years out of this machine.
Brief Overview
The Proform Cadence LT has a great price and is easy to use, on the other hand, it is lacking in other important areas. Also, this one is a bear to assemble since Proform is asking you to put together about half the machine.
Overall Quality
The Proform Cadence LT overall build is better than most of its competition in this price range. The Treadmill weighs in at roughly 109 LBS and is powered by a 2.25 HP motor. Icon says that it has been tested at 10 MPH with a 275 LB adult. It must have been a short test; it is debatable that the controller would be capable of sustaining a large individual for long at that speed. It also only has 8 built-in workout programs. This is to be expected in this price range and is not reflective of its quality as an exercise machine. Icon does offer a 300 lb. weight capacity in spite of the disappointing warranty.
