How long will the Lifespan TR5000 Desk Base Only last?
The Lifespan TR5000 Desk Base Only is built with durability in mind with aluminum sides and a weight of 119 lbs. It can hold users with a max weight of 400 lbs. and is backed by a warranty by Lifespan along with an extended warranty offered by a third-party vendor. The TR5000 comes with a lifetime frame warranty, 3-year motor, 2-year parts, and 1 year labor warranty. It is designed to last and moderate users will enjoy a multitude of walking hours with a proper maintenance routine.
Brief Overview
The Lifespan TR5000 Desk Base Only does not require assembly and can be used straight out of the delivery box. There are many upgrades that make the TR5000 a valuable option for encouraging workers to get up and walk instead of sitting their workday away. The health benefits are amazing, and movement tends to increase overall productivity if users are capable of walking at the same time they work. Sort of like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time – many people cannot consistently do this without concentrated effort.
Overall Quality
The Lifespan TR5000 Desk Base Only is larger and better than the TR1200 in many ways. It comes with aluminum side rails and a larger 3.0 motor that extends the daily usage up to a 9-hour recommended use which is great for those who work longer days or nights. It is incredibly easy and simple to use and offers a chance to change the sedentary work life to one that will shift operators towards a more active work life. Console choices come either with the retro look or a sleek design that will fit any modern workspace while displaying performance information that allows users to keep up with a variety of details. A total of 6 shock absorbers muffle noise and vibrations that enable the office environment to remain free of noise pollution. The deck is a full inch thick and is made to be reversible, extending the life expectancy and adding more value to the machine. It has been thoroughly upgraded from the TR1200 and is a quality way to improve the workday.
