This remarkably quiet machine is available with four console options. In order of increasing complexity, they are the Pro, Pro Sports, Cardio, and Executive Trainers. The Cardio Trainer console is described below.
What We Like
- Cardio Console – The Cardio Trainer Console is the third of four consoles made for the L870. It’s one step away from the Executive Trainer Console, which is the most advanced in terms of graphics and workout modes. The Cardio Trainer Console features five preset workouts with variable time, speed, and elevation; five user-defined program slots; time, distance, and calorie goal programs; three fitness tests; two preset heart rate monitoring workouts; and two user-defined heart rate workouts. Wireless and contact heart-rate monitoring systems are included too. The display is two-color and is high-definition for easy reading.
Optional equipment includes the Landice WalkStation, which lets people surf the Internet and send email during workouts, and Landice Vision, a treadmill TV with DVD player.
- High Quality Treadbelt – The Landice L870 Treadmill has a spacious 22”x63” treadbelt to accommodate virtually any runner. Its belt is made to endure: with four layers and large rollers, it can endure thousands more hours of use than can a single-ply or two-ply belt with small rollers. Furthermore, the belt is virtually maintenance-free. Other treadbelts require occasional lubrication.
- Incline – The track can incline 15% to help simulate road running and provide more challenging workouts.
- Powerful Motors – This model houses an American-made 3.0 CHP drive motor. The motor supports a high speed of 11 mph and can operate at top speed (4 HP) for 15 minutes without overheating. The L870 LTD also has a powerful secondary motor for the incline. With 1,000 pounds of thrust, it provides smooth elevation and declination even at top speeds.
- iPod Pocket – A special iPod-sized non-slip pocket is built into the console for convenience.
- High Capacity – The Landice L870 Pro Trainer Treadmill has a 500-pound user capacity. It weighs 355 pounds and measures 32” wide by 82” long.
- Excellent Warranty – Customers get a year of labor plus five years of protection on all parts (motor and frame included) provided that the machine is not used for more than five hours per day.
What We Don’t Like
Landices provide all-around luxurious workouts and great warranties, so it’s not easy to find fault with these treadmills. The L870 LTD might just be too good for some purposes; people seeking a treadmill for home use could be just fine with the L870 Home Treadmill or even the L770 Home Treadmill instead. Also, some gym owners would prefer a smaller treadmill in order to conserve space.
Our Verdict
The Landice L870 LTD Treadmill offers exceptional ergonomics and engaging programming. Compared with the L770 LTD Treadmill, it has a higher weight capacity and a larger running area – but these upgrades aren’t necessary for all customers. This is an ideal machine for light commercial use but is more than most individuals require for an excellent treadmill workout.
