ProForm Perspective ES Treadmill Review

Product description:  

The shining features for the ProForm Perspective ES are the built-in 7" flat panel TV and the Intermix Acoustics™ sound system.  However as impressive as those features are, the Perspective ES is loaded with a lot of other great goodies that are not commonly found in the low $1000 price range.  Also included are the impressive built-in 28 personal trainer workouts, cooling fan, powerful motor and longer treadmill deck.

About the Motor

The ProForm Perspective ES treadmill comes with a 3.0 HP commercial-grade motor.  The 3.0 HP motor has a good amount of power and will meet the needs of those that plan to use the treadmill for walking, jogging and even running.  The motor is also backed by a 20-year warranty.

Cushioning and Treadmill Belt

The ProForm Perspective ES includes the ProStride™ Cushioning with the treadmill deck.  The cushioning supports the full length of the treadmill so that you can take longer strides and still reduce the stress on your joints and lower back.  The Perspective ES also comes with a treadmill belt that is five inches longer than the average deck on the less expensive ProForm models.  The belt size is 20" x 60".

About the Built-in TV and Sound System

The most impressive feature included with the Perspective ES is the 7" flat panel TV and the theater quality sound system.  The TV uses the OSD (multicolor on-screen display) technology and works with Satellite, Cable and DVD/Video players.  When the TV is not on, the screen gives you feedback displaying information like the intensity levels of your workout. 

The theater quality Intermix Acoustics™ sound system uses high-end speakers and a subwoofer to give high quality sound.  You can even connect your MP3 player to the sound system through the Interplay™ Music Port. 
 

Warranty Information

The ProForm Perspective ES treadmill comes with a 20-year warranty on the motor and a 1-year warranty for all parts and labor.   The warranty for the motor is good but the parts and labor warranty is still weak for a treadmill in this price range.  Since the treadmill does come with a built-in TV it would be recommended to purchase and additional warranty in case there are any electronic issues.

Conclusion

The key feature for the ProForm Perspective ES is the built-in 7" TV with the Intermix Acoustics™ sound system.  Comparably this treadmill is a lot cheaper than other models that are offering the same features.  But the TV alone is not the only impressive feature that comes with the Perspective ES.  Also included are 28 personal trainer workouts.  That is an impressive number of built-in workouts and anyone that gets bored with this machine is not using it.  Add on the built-in fan and heart rate monitor and this treadmill really is one that is hard to pass up on. 

However, we still stand by our recommendations that the serious heavy runners should still look at treadmill in the $1500 and on up price range.  For everyone else this treadmill is a great buy.
