Lifespan TR800 DT3 Treadmill Desk Treadmill Review

How long will the Lifespan TR800 DT3 Treadmill Desk last?

The Lifespan TR800 Treadmill Desk comes with a lifetime frame, 3 years motor, and 1 year on both parts and labor while an extended warranty can be purchased by a partnering vendor. It weighs only 96 lbs. in the base and has a 60 lb. desk which rates it for a max of a 215 lb. weight capacity. It is designed for light use by smaller, lighter individuals who plan a minimal addition of daily walking to their schedule. All in all, it will last for a few miles at the very least with proper care and maintenance.

Brief Overview

The Lifespan TR800 Treadmill Desk is all around a good choice for those who work less than 3 hours daily or who have laptops they can transfer to a sitting desk after reaching the recommended daily number of hours for use. Steady walking is hard on motors and electronics and the TR800 is not intended for longer periods of use. Larger and heavier individuals should look to the TR1000 which is the next step up in this series for longer lasting motor usage and a wider walking area.

Overall Quality

The Lifespan TR800 Treadmill Desk, while innovative in its design, is rather limited in the hours of use and to several of the purchasing population due to weight and power restrictions. While revolutionary in its design, the smaller 2.0 motor and shorter usage time make this machine not the best option for those who work long hour days and do not have the space for both a sitting and standing desk in their work area. The TR800 Treadmill Desk has a manual height adjustment and is available for purchase in an assortment of colors. While it can reach speeds of 4.0 MPH, it is not recommended for power walking and should be used at an ambling stroll to prolong life expectancy. The TR800 comes with a total of 6 shock absorbers that reduce noises and vibration allowing the desk to not move when the treadmill is running and has an integrated console residing in the armrest for convenient button location. The display can be easily read and offers pertinent information on performance, etc. While the footprint is reduced, it still requires its own designated area for optimal use though there are wheels attached if moving is required.

Conclusion

The Lifespan TR800 Treadmill Desk is built to advocate a healthier work lifestyle but is designed more for those who do not work a full day or who can easily move their work paraphernalia to another desk area. It is limited in its offerings toward the purchasing public and cannot be used for long periods of time. Buyers who are interested in adding movement to benefit a healthier lifestyle into their workday should investigate the updated versions of the Treadmill Desk offered by Lifespan as each offers more of a variety of options for those who have longer workdays or are just heavier and larger.
