Guide Review - Horizon Fitness Paragon Treadmill
ConsumerGuide.com rates this as its pick in the $1000-$1500 category citing its long length and stylish wood grain trim. But they like Horizon Fitness treadmills in general and also recommend the Omega II as a Best Buy. It folds for storage. It has a pulse monitor in the handgrips and 6 preset programs. The 2000/2001 models were subject to recall for an electronics malfunction. Be sure to shop only for 2002 or later models.
