TTR Review

The Horizon LS780T Treadmill has to be a front runner when it comes to this price range. Normally, when you cut down on price with a treadmill, you really notice it in the quality and performance of the treadmill. But for under $1,000 this Horizon Treadmill comes with some great features.

The first thing we noticed was how stable it felt at a light jog…more so than many other treadmills in this price range. We then raised the incline to see if the running surface felt comfortable on a tilt. Again the machine felt stable, but the length of the belt was a little short so it felt like we had to be cautious with our steps.

Horizon LS780T Treadmill – $699

One thing we really liked was the cushioning system Horizon refers to as the “ADR2™ Variable Cushioning System” (See Picture Below). The feeling of running on a smooth surface seemed like we could do a longer workout at that pace.

TTR Recommendation

The Horizon LS780T Treadmill is priced at $699. Overall the treadmill felt stable with great cushioning. When buying a treadmill at this price you need to be sure you buy something with a good warranty. This treadmill has a lifetime warranty on the motor and frame which indicates it’s up to par. Also, keep in mind the length of the belt and if you intend to primarily run or you’re a taller person, a treadmill with a longer belt may be better suited for you. All in all, Horizon does make great treadmills and for the price this is a great budget treadmill.
