Author: Mr. L Johnson I run races and did my research and wanted to get a Landice but my budget deemed that I get a treadmill that would perform similar but at a lower price. I think this 9600 deluxe is a heck of a buy. The specs are so close to a Landice L-7 and this machine is a top-notch performer. The ortho belt is super comfortable! Superb value! I love it.
Author: R.J I have to say that after comparing this to many other treadmills at much higher prices I have been happy with my purchase. I am happy to say that I do not regret spending more $$$ on a fancier treadmill. I am 6'3" and weigh 215lbs. I wanted a longer running surface of at least 60". Before I bought this treadmill I ran on a LifeFitness treadmill at the club and that treadmill had a really big running surface. I felt comfortable with the running belt area on the Vision Fitness 9600. My only complaint is that I would have bought the Premier console as I liked the features but I felt that it was a little bit out of my price range. I wish that the Premier console was less expensive as I would have been happy to buy that one. I bought the Deluxe console and it does what I need. Overall the Vision Fitness 9600 treadmill is a good buy. I gave it 4 stars.
