Goplus 2.25HP Folding Treadmill Review

The Goplus 2.25HP Folding Motorized Treadmill has assembled dimensions of 62 x 26.5 x 49.5 inches in length, width, and height respectively. The machine is compact and has a folding option which measures in 32.5”(L) x 26.5”(W) x 57”(H) with built in wheels fitted at its base to ensure that you can easily wheel it to and from your room or office without occupying too much area.
The running belt measures 47 inches in length and 15.5 inches in width which is good and wide enough for taller people with large running actions to be able to use the running surface in relative nonchalance. You won’t have to worry about constricting your strides to fit them over the belt.

The Goplus 2.25HP Folding Motorized Treadmill comes with quite a handful of features and it should be warranted because of the price tag. A 5 inch display on the control panel allows you to interact with the treadmill and configure the settings of your workout. Through the display, you can track total speed, distance covered, elapsed time, and amount of calories burned. A phone/ipad holder also allows you to fit your mobile phone and tab in the holder and entertain yourself with music, movies, and games while you undergo the workout. The speed of the Goplus 2.25HP Folding Motorized Treadmill is a point of concern because it goes up from 0.5 to 7.5 mph with the optimal speed being a little too low for those looking for intense training. You will have to do with light jogging in its wake. The treadmill, however, does have with 12 preset workout programs that give you enough versatility to customize the extent of how intense you want your workouts to be.

The Goplus 2.25HP Folding Motorized Treadmill also comes with a safety clip that can be attached to your clothes. If ever, for some reason, you find yourself incapable of turning off the machine, all you have to do is unplug the safety clip and the treadmill will gently come to a stop. This ensures you remain protected as you work out from any unwanted stumbling. Emergency stop button on the handrails also ensures you have double protection.

The Goplus 2.25HP Folding Motorized Treadmill is constructed of solid steel and is pretty sturdy. It comes in two color designs, namely gray and blue. The motor it incorporates is a well to do 2.2.5 HP motor that requires 110 Volts of power to operate. The treadmill also provides three adjustable inclined settings for you to be able to adjust the slope and consequently increase the level of difficulty for your workout. But shock absorption material of the running belt ensures that the maximum impact of your strides will be absorbed by the rubber surface which in turn will be pretty easy and comfortable for your joints and muscles, shielding them from post workout sores. A specialized cushioning design on either end of the treadmill will reduce the motor’s noise as well as decrease the vibrations to the floor further signifying that you can enjoy your workout in relative peace without having to worry about disturbing others.

The Goplus 2.25HP Folding Motorized Treadmill weighs 95 pounds and can support weight up to 220 pounds which is another cause of concern because even other treadmills that cost less than this model of the Goplus can accommodate at least 30 pounds extra weight.

Verdict

While the Goplus 2.25HP Folding Motorized Treadmill is a pretty good entry level machine that guarantees quality and longevity, it doesn’t have any specialized feature that makes it stand out and own up to its steeper price. Treadmills of much lesser prices have managed to have an outstanding feature than made up for their economical prices. But still, readers should not be deterred because Goplus manages to catch the essential treadmill features both interactive and physical in order to come up with a well-rounded machine fit for exercising.
