Star Trac Used Treadmills Offer Gym Quality Workouts At
Home
Purchasing a refurbished treadmill can save you thousands when buying a top
of the line model
Star Trac used treadmills
can be found at over 60% less than the cost of a new treadmill. Choose one of
the better models that have gone through a complete refurbishing process to get
a gym quality machine at an affordable price. Always use a reputable dealer to
be sure you are purchasing a completely refurbished machine, not just a used
one. When done right, a remanufactured machine will last for years to come.
When shopping for the best
refurbished treadmill, consider the electrical requirements. Many of the
best Star Trac models require 220 V. Most homes run on 110 V and you would need
an electrician to install the proper line to use these treadmills. Some die hard
athletes want and need the quality of commercial grade models and don’t mind the
expense of running a line. Make sure to check the requirements and be aware of
your electrical service at home so you can use the machine.
The Star Trac 2000P is one of the company’s best selling treadmills. It has a
2.5 HP continuous duty motor and eight programmed workouts. The retail price for
this model is $5495, but you can find a used but refurbished model for around
$1600. This model requires 220 V, so you will need an electrician if purchasing
this treadmill for home use.
Star Trac’s TR 3000 is a commercial quality treadmill with a 3 HP continuous
duty motor. The display panel shows time, calories, distance, speed and pace.
These treadmills also have a 220 voltage requirement and can’t be used by
plugging in to your regular electrical outlet. This model retails for around
$6000, but can be found at a better price as a refurbished model for about
$2000.
The Star Trac TR 3900 treadmill is probably the best for home use. It has a 110
voltage requirement, so it can be plugged in to a standard home socket. This
treadmill has a steel frame and 2.5 HP continuous duty motor, making it a sturdy
choice. This machine is built to last. These models have a retail price of
around $5400, or $2000 for models that have gone through a complete refurbishing
process.
Spend some time researching Star Trac and other treadmills before purchasing.
New or refurbished, a treadmill is a big investment. It’s best to shop around
for a reputable dealer when purchasing a used model. Some dealers don’t offer a
warranty on refurbished exercise equipment, but others will offer a six month or
one year warranty. This is a plus, considering the cost of these machines and
repairs.
