Landice L7 Review

The Landice L7 is made in the USA and a top-notch option that’s built to last. Along with the larger L8, it’s the world’s only home treadmill with a lifetime parts warranty. Built with aircraft-grade aluminum, Landice treadmill frames are virtually indestructible. The 60-inch track on the L7 might feel short for runners over six feet tall, but, otherwise, this machine is ideal for virtually any athlete or family. Long-legged runners will prefer the L8. You can customize your order with one of three console options and choose from a selection of suspension, entertainment, and handrail upgrades.

PROS

• US-made, 4.0 HP continuous duty motor
• Lifetime warranty
• VFX Shock Absorption

CONS

• Non-folding, so too large for some settings
• Expensive

Landice L7 Key Specs

Extraordinary Cushioning

A hidden bonus of Landice treadmills is their extraordinary cushioning. The L7 keeps impact on joints and tendons minimal, a great feature for those with joint and mobility issues. This decreased impact will help you avoid injury, exercise longer, and reach fitness goals more efficiently. The power incline also helps reduce impact while boosting calorie burn and targeting specific muscles. The L7 has a maximum incline of 15 percent.

Many Indicators of Great Durability

Motor and Tread Belt to Stand the Test of Time

• The powerful, 4.0 HP motor supports sprints up to 12 mph. Similar quality is found in the L7 Club Treadmill belt. It measures 20″ x 60″ with workmanship far superior to most. While others require waxing and might easily stretch or snap, this belt can run maintenance-free for years. It features four layers of material (others have one or two) and travels along premium rollers. Furthermore, since the deck is reversible, great durability is further aided.

High Weight Capacity

• The L7 has a 400-pound user weight capacity.

Above-Average Warranty

• Unlike any other treadmill manufacturer, Landice sells their machines with lifetime coverage on the frame and parts. In-home labor is free during the first year if you live within 60 miles of the dealer’s nearest store.

Choice of Three Quality Consoles

A fun part of buying a Landice is choosing the console. Depending on your needs, you get the choice of three quality options:

• Pro Sports Control Panel – The Pro Sports console is the least expensive and most basic. Its LCD screen can access five preset workout programs that users can customize by time, speed, and elevation. There are also five custom-made workouts. This control panel does not support multiple user profiles.
• Cardio Control Panel – A great match for those focused on heart rate and performance, the Cardio has two preset heart rate workouts and supports two user-programmed heart rate workouts along with many other programs and three fitness tests. This control panel has a 9″ LCD window. Up to four users can save data and statistics, and the five built-in programs make it easy to get in a great workout without lots of pre-planning for the fitness guru on-the-go.
• Achieve Control Panel – The Achieve console offers the most in terms of workout programs as it offers three more built-in programs compared with the Cardio option as well as an extra user-defined program and two additional user-defined heart rate monitoring programs. The 9-inch LCD screen is tactile and easy to clean.

Deck Cushioning

The L7 is sold with a choice of cushioning systems. The base price includes VFX Shock Absorption. It’s about five times softer than grass and quite comfortable. For another $300, you can get orthopedic suspension, which offers seven times more cushioning than grass.

Power Incline

The running surface can incline up to 15 percent, which provides challenging cardio workouts, faster calorie burn, and improved muscle definition.

Heart Rate Monitoring

All versions of the L7 allow wireless heart rate monitoring in addition to the built-in hand grip pulse sensors.

Standard Included Features

The Landice L7 treadmill comes equipped with:

• A safety lanyard to that stops the machine if you fall

Our Verdict

The Landice L7 is easily one of the best residential treadmills available in terms of quality. It’s appealing in just about every category, making it worth the higher price tag. The treadmill ships with excellent basics and offers a number of tempting upgrades from entertainment options to safety rails and more.

It’s worth noting that, as a non-folding treadmill with a large footprint of 35″ W x 76.5″ L and 60″ H, it can be too large for those with limited space. Furthermore, as a club-quality treadmill, the L7 weighs over 300 pounds, so don’t expect to move this machine around with ease.

With that being said, it offers top-notch value in the long term with excellent durability, earning it a top recommendation for those seeking the quality of a health club treadmill and value of a lifetime guarantee.
