Landice L770 Treadmill Review

The L770 is the most popular of Landice's three treadmill ranges, which also includes the L870 and L970.

The L770's predecessor the - L7 - has been amongst the top rated treadmills for years and the L770 is no different.

Landice hasn't rested on its laurels and has updated and improved this treadmill to keep it at the top of the tree.

Now the L770 treadmill comes in a number of versions, which makes reviewing it a somewhat complicated task!

There are Home, LTD, Club and Rehabilitation models in Sport, ProSport, Cardio and Executive specs.

Confused? You soon will be!

Landice L770 Treadmill Review - What's it Like...?

For starters there's the outstanding Baldor 3.0 HP continuous duty motor. This quietly and smoothly drives the large belt with its 58" x 20" running area to 12 mph.

The deck itself inclines to a 15% gradient for added intensity.

The belt itself deserves a mention as Landice equips its treadmills with a 4 ply belt that they claim is virtually stretch proof and should withstand the wear and tear of daily use much better than the 2 ply belts that most treadmills in this price range come with.

The big rollers measure 2.5" and weigh 14 lbs. They ensure the smooth travel of the belt and are a major reason for the excellent ride quality of the L770.

The variable flex shock absorption cushioning system absorbs side to side as well as up and down shock, for the most comfortable ride you'll experience on a treadmill.

The deck itself contributes to this and measures 1" thick, as opposed to the 3/4" thickness that most treadmills at this price have.

The overall stability of the Landice L770 treadmill is largely down to the aluminium frame, which is much stronger than the steel frames you'll find on most treadmills.

Granted, it adds to the price but won't corrode and should last a lifetime.

Finally, the warranties. Landice offers a lifetime warranty on the frame, parts and wear items (motor, etc) and one year on the labour.

The catch is you need to buy it from a dealer and have it installed by them within a 60 mile radius of the dealership for the lifetime warranties to be valid.

If you buy your Landice treadmill online then a commercial warranty applies - five years on the frame, parts and wear items and one year on the labour. The dealer should also deliver and install it for you.

This is a trade off really. Dealer prices will always be higher than online prices, so do you buy a treadmill with a big discount and lose the lifetime warranty? Or pay a premium at a dealer and get the lifetime warranties?

Hmm, given that Landice treadmills don't break and you pay for the labour anyway after a year you may well decide to go for the bargain prices available online...the choice is yours.

Right, that's the basic treadmill. Now for a guide through the various specifications - this is where it gets confusing!

The L770 comes in 13 different versions - there's nothing like too much choice to get in the way of making a decision, is there?

Here's a guide through the model maze...There are basically four specifications:

The first three are pretty self-explanatory. With the RTM you get features like extra long side handrails, a low step up height and a safety lanyard.

You can also choose from four treadmill specs:

There are a few more features with each spec, but you're essentially paying for better displays and more workout programs.

So, this is what the Landice L770 treadmill range looks like and what you can expect to pay:

Landice L770 Treadmill Review - How Does it Rate...?

It's a little complicated to rate the Landice L770 treadmill as there are so many versions, which are basically the same treadmill with a few additions depending on the spec.

As far as the basics are concerned, there's not a lot to choose between them except a little extra durability in the LTD and Club models, and flashier consoles and electronics in the Cardio and Executive specs.

As such, the rating is a composite score - add a few marks for the console and programs as you work up from Sport to Executive and take off a mark or two for value for money.

Why? Well, for my money they don't add a great deal for quite a lot more cash. Whilst the Sport is basic, it's essentially the same treadmill as the Executive - why spend as much as an extra $1,500 for a better console and more workout programs?

If you're buying a treadmill for home use, go for the L770 Home Sport or if you need a few workout programs, the L770 Home ProSport. These offer the best value for money.

You don't really need the LTD or Club for home use, so save the money.

A final verdict? The Landice L770 treadmill is brilliant and as good as you can get in a treadmill.
