Treadmill Mat May Be the Most Important Accessory
Once you have spent so much on a treadmill, and whether you packed it with features and add-ons or not, there is a huge list of available accessories you can buy to make your treadmill even shinier. But beyond all the bells and whistles that you may or may not want, there are a few to consider that will actually help the lifespan of your machine as well as the performance.
Most treadmills, as with anything with that many moving parts, are going to have problems. Some will be large problems that require you to take the machine in to a repair shop, but others will be small and you could do yourself if you had a home repair kit.
Of course you can only do so many repairs yourself. Let the professionals handle the major problems such as mechanical failures. The good news is that the treadmill should come with decent warranty coverage, or else you did not do a good job researching before buying. Any parts or mechanical failure should be covered by most standard warranties.
The best way to avoid major problems in the first place, next to fixing minor problems early, is keeping the machine clean. It will keep your treadmill working like new for many years if you perform simple cleaning practices.
A cleaning kit can be purchased and it usually will come with a set of tools as well as instructions on how to regularly perform some maintenance cleaning. The kit normally includes a cleaning brush, cleaning solution, and an application wand.
For motorized treadmills, as most are, lubrication is important to protect the motor and optimize its efficiency. A lubrication kit will help keep the machine operating properly. In fact, most motor problems arise from burning the motor because of a lack of proper lubrication.
Getting a treadmill mat to go underneath the treadmill is more of a necessity than an optional accessory. The mat will protect your floor from grime and lubrication that will come from the motor. Some people think that carpeting is a substitute for a treadmill mat. In truth, it keeps dirt and carpet fibers from entering the treadmill and damaging the insides.
On the flip side to the mat, you can also get a treadmill cover. It is similar to the covers for cars but for your treadmill. The cover will keep the dust and anything else from landing on and messing with the cleanliness of your treadmill from top to bottom.
Everyone has particular specifications they want for their treadmills but most of these are well worth the money for anyone who wants to keep the treadmills functional for the duration of their useful life. - 17269
