Weslo is a subsidiary of the big sports & outdoors equipment manufacturer ICON Health & Fitness. ICON produce a huge range of gym equipment under a number of brand names that include Nordic Track, Pro Form, Weider and Reebok.

Each of ICON brands are targeted at a specific part of the fitness market. The Weslo brand is targeted at the lower end of market in terms of price. Therefore, if you are looking for a budget machine then the weslo cadence c44 treadmill is a product you may want to consider.

The Cadence c44 is a self assembly machine that you will have to put together yourself. If you have a partner then you should be able to assemble it with in 2 hours. The weslo cadence c44 treadmill manual provides clear instructions and the holes to put the console and handle bars together are all pre-drilled for quick and easy assembly.

Features of the Weslo cadence treadmill c44

The C44 has a 1.3 drive motor that powers the belt. In terms of power this not one of the most powerful on the market and anyone over 200 pounds may find that it does not give them the speed they require. People who are 200 pounds and over could also experience belt slippage due to the motors lack of power. The Weslo cadence C44 treadmill weight capacity is more suited to people who are in the weight range between 150 to 199 pounds. Any heavier will increase the risk of serious wear and tear.

The cadence c44 treadmill comes with a tread belt that measures 16 inches by 47 inches. In terms of width this is quite narrow therefore, a person who is broadly built may find it difficult to stay on. The belt has impact absorption provided by the Weslo's comfort cell impact absorption system. The cushioning helps to absorb the impact as your feet hit the surface of the treadmill belt resulting in less strain on your knees and ankles.

The Weslo cadence c44 comes with a basic console LCD monitor display with the following functions:

• Time & Distance
• Speed
• Calories and fat calories burned 

The maximum speed is 10 mph however, it is not advisable to do a workout for any length of time at the maximum speed. The adjustable speed can be adjusted by simply pressing the two arrow keys of the console. If you want to increase or lower your speed you just have to keep pressing the appropriate arrow. The C44 has 4 speed controls that you can choose from and these include walking, jogging, running and a speed option for cooling down after your workout session.

Even though the Weslo C44 is a budget treadmill it also includes a built in EKG heart rate monitor. Before you get too excited, treadmill heart rate monitors are not the most accurate and that is even on the top of the range models. It is advisable that you wear a heart rate monitor watch or chest strap when you are working out.

The Welso cadence c44 treadmill has a manual incline. This means that you will need to stop and adjust the machine yourself which in many respects can spoil the rhythm of good workout. The incline has 4 elevations from 0 to a maximum of 9 %.

The weslo cadence c44 treadmill parts and labor warranty is only 90 days which is the standard for the Weslo machines. In my opinion 90 days is definitely not long enough as the built quality of this C44 will not be able to withstand any sort of consistent intensive exercise workouts.

Conclusion

The  weslo cadence c44 treadmill wltl29305 is very affordable electric treadmill as it is priced at under $400. However, to be able sell it at this price Weslo have cut a lot of corners such as a lack of features but most importantly build quality. Spending an extra 200 or 300 dollars on a better machine would be a good investment as there is  much less chance of  it breaking down.
