The Bowflext T10 was a nice surprise for us.  We honestly thought this treadmill would test poorly simply because it is considered more of a “big box” store brand.  We thought it would perform and feel badly and much to our surprise, it did not.  The Bowflex over all look made it appear big and bulky but that did not deter us from eventually liking the machine.  We were impressed overall by the feel of the deck and belt, we liked the suspension and felt like this was a machine that could handle our weight (most of the testers weight over 200lbs).  Once again, we were not expecting this from a Bowflex product.  Now, take this with a grain of salt if you are not 6’ 220lbs.  Again, we are testing this specifically from a “big guy” perspective and our ratings are also from a “big guy” perspective.  We can see a smaller person (under 5’3) felling a little lost in the cockpit of this treadmill.  A smaller person may feel a little claustrophobic around the large upper display and wider handlebars.  But, for a bigger person this works well.  We are also taking into consideration that this treadmill cost under $1500 and typically treadmills below this price point feel crappy for someone who weighs well over 200lbs.  There are not many treadmills in the market below $1500 that can handle someone 300lbs.

Pros:  Sub $1500 treadmill that can easily handle a 300lb person.  Built for big and tall users.  Solid belt and deck feel and sturdy all around construction.  Good solid quality on a reasonable priced treadmill.

Cons:  Did not like the weird angled in side platform rails for straddling the walking belt which felt a little cheap and not super secure.  Did not like that there were exposed data cable wires near the motor cover.  Users below 5’3 will not like this treadmill due to its size and handlebar width.
