Summary
We chose the True Performance 800 as the best treadmill under $5000. It is manufactured with commercial-quality materials and the top components for extreme reliability.
One incredible feature for runners is what True calls Soft Select which lets users adjust the firmness of the deck. Other features include a 4 hp motor, 60″ x 21″ running surface with orthopedic belt to reduce impact on the joints, 12 preset programs plus 36 more customizable ones, and True’s new Escalate 9″ color active LCD display.

Comments
Just purchased a performance 800. Not having good luck with it.
Tried contacting the company but they are not responding .
It is supposed to connect to Zwift. Mine did for about a minute after many hours of trying.
Forums that i checked out all say the same thing. Can’t get the performance 800 to connect well to Zwift especially if using a PC.
Console is also a bit glitchy. Periodically have to stop the treadmill and let the console reset.
Not a great unit if you are trying to get a personal best time – eg a 5km distance. Too many buttons to press to get it going. Can’t just press start and a speed and get going. Have to cancel your weight button, press a button to get the speed pad to come up and then press another 3 buttons to enter your speed eg 9.9 and then enter. This process takes at least 20 seconds on the clock before the belt actually gets going above .5 mph . Then you have to wait for the belt to get up to speed.
Long comment. What i am saying is think 2X and read some reviews before you buy.
