Precor gets name recognition because of its commercial models found in health clubs. Their home models are expensive but solidly built. If you find that the less-sturdy construction of cheaper treadmills means you get lots of wobble, you may appreciate upgrading to this machine. The 9.31 gets TreadmillDoctor.com's Best Buy designation in the $3000 price range. It has a 3.0 HP motor. It has eight pre-set programs. It was a nominee for our Readers' Choice Awards 2011.
