Experience with PaceMaster Gold?

[onlindis]

I wanted to know from people that have the PaceMaster Gold what they actually thought of it. I've been shopping for a treadmill for months reading countless reviews and checking different sites. Tends to be a real mix of opinions on the PaceMaster. Consumers Reports indicated they had a problem with the deck cracking on the one they tested.

For those that have one, would you buy another one?

Thanks for your help.

LOVE it. i would buy it again in a heartbeat. i've had it for about a year. can't think of a thing i would change. the programs are awesome (i've just started using them to help with speedwork), construction is durable, i can hear the tv over it -- actually, i can be sitting on the bike with someone else running on the TM in the room and still hear the tv. great machine.

I really, really, really like mine.

I've got the Pacemaster ProPlus II which is, I believe pretty close to the current Bronze model, so I don't know about the Gold, but I can say that I love my Pacemaster. I've had it for 5 years and my maintenance guy says it's still in really good condition. I had the deck and tread replaced last year before the warranty expired, just to get it done free, but it wasn't really that necessary. The motor was replaced 2 years ago because the previous one had given out.

When it's time to get a new one I will definitely be getting another Pacemaster.

All the above, but mine is the Platinum and I've had it for a little over 1 year.

Best purchase I've made yet.
