Part 3: Roger Black Gold Treadmill Review – Pros and Cons

Pros for the Roger Black Gold Treadmill

You have the option of adding further peace of mind and protection with the 4-year breakdown assist cover and only costs a further £75 to £85
Unlike many other treadmills, you get the Bluetooth connection which is ideal for music and fitness apps and it comes with an iPhone or iPad holder which tends to be lacking on the majority of other treadmills
In addition to the Bluetooth, you have the microphone, MP3 connection and built in speakers which help to keep motivation levels as high as they should be.
Although not the biggest running deck we have seen, the size and width is still quite good coming in at 125cm long by 45cm wide
Instead of having to pay for it all up front there is the option of spreading the cost of 12 months with the Argos credit card plan which helps cashflow
Some treadmills can weigh over 80kg where this treadmill is considerably lighter coming in at less than 65kg in weight.
This treadmill can be folded away also when not in use which is ideal for people who are living in smaller type living spaces.

Cons for the Roger Black Gold Treadmill

The warranty level is only 12 months which is considerably less than what we have seen available on the Reebok treadmills.
Folding the treadmill is not all that bad but it does lack the soft drop folding hydraulic mechanism seen with other foldable treadmill brands.
A good deal of work and effort is needed with the assembly process so you will need to take your time and follow each of the procedures step by step and 2 people will be needed to complete it
You only get 10 different programmes included which is considerably less than others we have seen which can offer over 20/25 programmes
The power of the power is only 1.25 HP which is not too bad but way behind others motors we have seen that offer 2.25 or even 2.5 HP
You can’t switch from km per hour to miles per hour as it will only function in km per hour

Part 5: Conclusion with Feedback Opportunity

Conclusion

While this treadmill doesn’t exactly match the quality you get in your local gym, it is still a super option for serious athletes who want a reliable treadmill to use in their own home when they do not have the time to visit their local gym. It can also be promoted at times for less than £400 which is great value for the quality of treadmill you are getting. The power of the motor is not the strongest we have seen or experienced but it still does the job with no problems whatsoever.

Assembly

The assembly at home part is not too bad as long as you have a second pair of hands to help you and it shouldn’t take any more than 20 minutes to complete on average and you do need to pay particular attention to the steps involved. The one big attraction is the fact that you have the iPad/iPhone holder along with the Bluetooth connection which certainly helps to keep the motivations as high as they should be especially when it comes to getting up on the treadmill week in week out.

Promotion

The one thing though to be aware of is the fact that when it comes off promotion that the price can spike to well over £450 so you should try to hold off and wait when it is being promoted at less than £400 instead.
