What We Donāt Like
- Basic Features: AFG is known for providing good basics. Once you move up in price though, competitors start to offer enticing perks that you might not find on an AFG. You might prefer the personal trainer workouts, TV, or steeper inclines included on competitorsā products.
- Shipping Expense: When you compare treadmill prices, be sure that shipping is included. This machineās shipping weight is 280 pounds.
Our Verdict
AFGās 3.0AT treadmill provides good value. It has a high weight capacity, an incline, and a wide range of basic training programs. Many competitors vie in this modelās price category though. The AFG might win among those who care most about a solid build and a long warranty. Other brands might win you over if you care about luxury perks or a certain specialty feature.
