How long will the Exerpeutic 440XL last?
The Exerpeutic 440XL is an imported Chinese-made treadmill that weighs 120 lbs. It offers a decent warranty of 5 years on the motor and frame, but only 90 days for parts and labor which is rather short in comparison to other model warranties. It touts a user max capacity of 400 lbs. but we would not recommend a 400 lb. user buy this machine. It is suitable for users walking briskly with shorter strides. A light walker walking a couple of days a week should get a least a year if not more of ambling delight from this foldable treadmill.
Brief Overview
The Exerpeutic 440XL treadmill use is a great way to get your heart rate up and stay active, but there is always the risk of buying something that won't last. Other models with either more or less features have equal to better warranties which make users think twice about investing because they are unsure how long it will take before breaking down.
Overall Quality
The Exerpeutic 440XL is perfect for beginners who want to get some walking in during their day. It has a 20-inch-wide belt that provides plenty of elbow room, but it will make longer strides difficult if you are of the taller persuasion. The 1.5 HP motor goes up to 4 MPH allowing for brisk walking capabilities. The treadmill allows users the flexibility of adjusting their speed in 1/10 MPH increments through the judicious use of the handlebars and has a 2-position manual incline to intensify your walking experience. The 1500XL frame is perfect for those who find themselves constantly grabbing at things when they fall with its 18” long handlebars and offers a wider siderail to support heavy users. The 440XL has a sleek, round LCD display that offers speed and pulse monitoring as well as calories burned. It also keeps track of how many steps taken in addition to elapsed time with each one being displayed on the screen for easy viewing at any moment during your workout routine. It is not quite as feature-rich when compared to other products in its price range, but it still provides plenty of useful data for fitness enthusiasts.

Conclusion
Some machines are more reliable than others, and it can be hard to tell which will work best before buying one. There are great selections existing in this price range even though the numerous choices make it hard sometimes to make the right decision. If you are of the simplistic nature, require pure functionality in a machine, and your budgeted is limited this might be the treadmill for you. The Exerpeutic 440XL is limited in its feature offerings and there is not much difference between it and its lesser expensive counterpart the 1500XL. We encourage shopping around even though you need to keep in mind that any treadmill below the $1000 range will not be the last treadmill you will purchase if you intend to maintain your health and continue your fitness journey throughout the rest of your life span.
