Sportcraft treadmills are definitely low-end models. Even if you're an entry-level model this company's product may not be the right way. The first thing you should do a very careful review of Sportcraft treadmills, they have a troubled history.

A certain Mr. Walter Holdstein founded Sportcraft Ltd in 1926. The company began producing mainly indoor and outdoor games like table tennis and tetherball. It still produces these games. In the last 30 yearsthe demand for home exercise equipment has grown rapidly, but it was not until 2001 that Sportcraft get into action and the company supplied the first motorized treadmills.

When supplying treadmills, the company was in line with the Sportcraft to models that are cheap, cheap, cheap, and they sell for mass production by retailers like K-Mart and Wal-Mart deliver.

To this end, all Sportcraft treadmills overseas, in countries such as China and Taiwan are made. Despite all of its sharesmore attractive when you first take a look about them that are inexpensive in construction materials used and the build quality has always been in question.

An attempt to mass produce low-end models very cheaply is not easy. This is something that Sportcraft has found out to its cost with its range of cheap treadmills.

In 2005, there was a recall for the Sportcraft Tredex 6.0, the Tx440 and Tx550. The units would accelerate without warning causing users to fall and sustainInjuries. The company received at least 110 reports of unexpected acceleration. As if the recalls of 2005 were not bad enough, there was a further recall in 2006.

Selling cheap treadmills that malfunction and cause serious injury, not good expect for the future of the company in the niche of the fitness industry no good.

Is there anything good to say about Sportcraft Treadmills?

It is not all bad. They are very cheap, but potential customers have many useful functions. They tend, a powerful engines for its class and a high speed. The Sportcraft TX 7.0 treadmill is equipped with a 2,75 HP motor, 19 "x 55" deck, 10% slope. The design of the units of the company are looking slim and users also get things like a step counter and 6 preset programs with the Sportcraft 7 treadmill.

But do not be fooled by these properties. This is reminiscent of 2005 and 2006 should be always in the back of a ghost.

Is everything okay now?

Unfortunately Sportcraft> Treadmills are known to have the worst electronics design in the industry. This is what Treadmill Doctor had to say: "How did two years ago, the electronics design was the worst thing we never see on a treadmill …"

As if to underline the poor build quality of the product, there is the poor 10 year guarantee for the frame, 1 years for the motor, 1 years for all parts and 90 days for labor service. Any manufacturer who wants to consumers the confidence in his equipment, willa guarantee of at least 3 years on parts and lifetime on the frame.

So, what rating I would Sportcraft Treadmills? After reading the above review I think you already know that I can not evaluate at all. I'll leave you with a comment from Treadmill Doctor: "We expect them to continue mass-marketing game tables and the like, but we believe they should stay out treadmills."
