How long will the TRUE Performance 300 last?
The True Performance 300 is a treadmill that has been built to withstand years of heavy use from joggers and runners weighing less than 350lbs. Its sturdy construction can handle most athletic levels of demands without worrying about wear-and-tear on equipment. True also backs up this purchase with a lifetime warranty on the frame, 30 years on the motor, 7 years on parts, and 1 year on labor warranty.
Brief Overview
The True Performance 300 is the step up offering from the Performance 100 out of the four choices in the PS series. It is distinguishable from the Performance 100 by price, plastic vs metal straddle holders, a finished weight difference, the orthopedic belt offering, and an additional 2 years have been added on the parts warranty. Both the 100 and 300 carry the same technical and functional aspects.
Overall Quality
One of the biggest concerns with the True Performance 300 is the orthopedic belt and how it affects the drive motor and mechanical components. A thicker belt means that there is more strain on these components than thinner belts, but you can combat this by taking proper care of your machine and keeping your workout area clean. There is not a fan listed in the specs so get ready to sweat!
The True Performance 300 has a slightly higher finished weight of 308 lbs. We think this treadmill is a great option for multiple users due to its high quality construction and large running space. It also comes equipped with a 3.0 HP motor to handle up to 12 mph and an incline of 15%. If you are wanting a more extreme machine – check out the other 2 treadmills in this series – the Performance 800 and the Performance 825.
