subject: New Treadmill Ratings Site Now Live [print this page] There couldn't be a better time to buy a treadmill because of technology advances, the quality you get for the price is impressive. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to start building a fine home gym that includes a treadmill.
Many people once decided to buy a treadmill turn to online treadmill ratings websites to do their research. Any treadmill ratings site with dozens or hundreds of treadmill reviews - if done well - offer a wealth of information to prospective treadmill buyers. That said, not all treadmill ratings and reviews are the same.
Of course there are a number of ways to rate treadmills. The treadmill ratings can be a numerical value, a long-written opinion, bullet points listing advantages and disadvantages (or pros and cons), stars, and/or short "Buy it" or "Don't buy it" opinions.
Treadmill Reviews HQ opted to offer both written opinions in the form of listing features, benefits, and "complaints" or "dislikes" as well as numerical score. Each treadmill review also includes basic information such as the warranty, performance specifications, and of course where you can buy the subject treadmill.
The part of the treadmill ratings system Treadmill Reviews HQ prides itself on is the numerical score it gives for each treadmill reviewed. The score is on a scale of 1 - 100. The scoring system is a combination of being objective and subjective. It's impossible to avoid any subjectivity because the formula used by Treadmill Reviews HQ weights each feature. This means some features are deemed more important than other features. Obviously deciding which features are more important is a subjective opinion. Otherwise, the weighted treadmill ratings formula is applied equally to all treadmills rated.
Included in the weighted treadmill ratings formula is a price adjustment. Rather than different formulas for all price ranges, Treadmill Reviews HQ opted to create one formula that incorporates an adjustment for price. Why? Because a treadmill priced at $3,000 will obviously have better features than most treadmills priced at $499. Therefore, in order so that you can compare apples to apples, there's a price adjustment in the treadmill ratings formula used at Treadmill Reviews HQ.
