First of all, everything about the best treadmills for 2018 has been said and done–or written and published rather. But that is just the beginning. Therefore, I would like to examine each treadmill and be able to distinguish each. I’ll start off with the XM Pro III treadmill review to see how it compares with the rest of the treadmills on the market.

XM Pro III Treadmill promises overall fitness and health improvement with regular use. It is a space-saving treadmill due to its folding nature. Furthermore, this treadmill has 12 workout programmes and 3 levels of manual incline. However, if none of the 12 programmes suits you, it has 1 manual program that you can customise. I like the magnetic safety key to for extra precaution. XM Pro III has a maximum speed of 12 kph which is slightly more than other treadmills in the same price range. In addition, the built-in speakers are great for music lovers.
Furthermore, one distinguishing feature about the XM Pro III is that it seems to focus more on weight loss due to the freebies included (listed below). It is a good thing that Prestige Sports, the manufacturer of XM Pro III, took into consideration to include a free bottle of lubricant to go along with it during delivery. Also, the LCD console, of course, shows what it is supposed to (time, distance, heart rate, speed, and calories). And, you don’t even need to hold the rails, unless you want to check your heart rate.
In addition, it seems that the XM Pro III kept simplicity in mind. It is not too fancy yet it does what it supposed to. I would use a treadmill for a morning warm-up as well as a stress-relieving evening walk on top of a regular daily workout. Furthermore, because of its compact design, it is safe to say that it would be ideal for use in flats or small spaces. Also, moving XM Pro III around is easy all thanks to its transport wheels.
It is not too expensive and comes with a 2-year warranty for motor, frame, and parts which is very assuring in my own opinion. And what I love about it is that it comes with:
1. Aerobic Twist Disc
2. Resistance Bands
3. Fruit-Infusion Bottle
4. eBooks
*Running and Fitness Guide
*Treadmill Maintenance Guide
*Healthy Eating Guide
5. Lubricant
However, XM Pro III seemed to have overlooked the fact that most of the treadmills today have cushioned running belts to reduce joint stress. Also, the descriptions say that XM Pro III is auto-lubed. And I was under the impression that you would only need to put a few drops of oil on the oil reservoir. But based on customer reviews, you will need to oil up the belt after an estimated 10-hour use.

XM Pro III is pretty much on par with the PremierFit T100 treadmill. They are both quite similar in almost every aspect except. For example, they are music compatible with built-in speakers and have 12 preset workout programs. These two treadmills are also folding and are space-savers. Furthermore, both treadmills also have a safety feature in the form of cords and keys. Both aren’t too flashy and can be considered as budget treadmills.
1. Although both treadmills have 12 preset workout programmes, PremierFit T100 has 3 manual customisable programmes whereas XM Pro III only has 1.
2. PremierFit T100 has a fixed incline of 4% whilst XM Pro III has 3 adjustable incline levels.
This means that XM Pro III would burn more fat if used at a given period of time.
3. XM Pro III has a 2-year warranty on everything while PremierFit T100 has a 2-year warranty on parts and frame and a lifetime warranty for its motor.
4. Maximum user weight for XM Pro III is 100 kg while PremierFit T100 only has 90.
Although both treadmills are in the same price range, PremierFit T100 is a little cheaper during this time of review. Both treadmills can be a good buy for beginners as well as treadmills for home use.

In addition, it seems that one common factor among the most in-demand treadmills is that they have the ability to fold. Another compact folding treadmill like the XM Pro III would be the Hi-Performance Electric Treadmill. For instance, the Hi-Performance Electric Treadmill has a magnetic safety cord which you attach or pin to your shirt so that it stops in case you fall over or slip.
Overall, this is a simple, no fuss, treadmill.
1. The warranty is the first thing I noticed. The previous treadmills we compared have warranties that go for years whilst Hi-Performance Treadmill only has a year of warranty.
2. It only has 3 preset workout programs which are significantly less than XM Pro and PremierFit T100. As a result, do not expect a variation in terms of your workout experience.
3. Unlike the previous two treadmills we’ve compared, Hi-Performance Treadmill does not have music capability.
Overall, there’s not much to say about Hi-Performance Electric Treadmills since it is pretty straight-forward. Due to the discount it has during this time of review, this treadmill might be appealing for those who are on a tight budget.

Firstly, Bodyfit Folding Electric Treadmill is much cheaper than the XM Pro III. It might just be on the same level as the Hi-Performance Electric Treadmill. Furthermore, this is a good choice for elderly people or those who struggle to run as the maximum speed is only 6 km/h. On the contrary, having this limited speed shows that it may not be suitable for running. Therefore, you get what you pay for, a straight-forward treadmill that has 3 preset workout programs. Lastly, it comes with a 12-month warranty.
What concerns me, besides its lack of lustre, is the functionality it offers. As you can see, there are no handrails and the console is quite small. Speaking of the console, it is pretty simple– as a matter of fact, too simple for my taste. Nonetheless, it could still be a good buy for the right people. Besides the elderly, perhaps people who are recovering from a lower-extremity injury might find this a good buy.
Therefore, I don’t feel comparing the XM Pro III and the Bodyfit treadmills are justifiable since their target market might be of different levels of fitness and gains.
XM Pro III beats Bodyfit Electric Treadmill hands down. But not if the person who plans to own it is going to use it for a specific purpose.

If you liked XM Pro III and PremierFit T100, then let us welcome Confidence GTR Treadmill. These three offer pretty much the same features and in the same price range. Confidence GTR Treadmill has a maximum speed of 12km/h. Therefore, this means it is good for running. It has a better-looking and user-friendly console compared with Hi-Performance and Bodyfit treadmills. Additionally, it has a safety feature in the form of an emergency cord. 3 levels of incline and 12 preset workout programmes will let you choose the intensity of your workout. Being easy to assemble gives a really good impression as seen with the customer reviews claiming that it can be assembled within 15-20 mins. So far, it has the best maximum user weight on this list which is 120 kgs.

Overall, the Hi-Performance Electric Treadmill and Bodyfit Folding Electric Treadmill are both budget-friendly treadmills. They are simple and have features that you might need. Due to this, we can assume that they chose the features that you will need and not bombard you too much into getting your money with features that you won’t use.
XM Pro III offers a variety of workout with a lengthy warranty. You want this if you are looking for a treadmill that is all-around. I’m betting that their target market are those who are looking to own a treadmill for multiple users, and those do not want to spend too much without compromising quality and value for money.
