If you are looking for a machine packed with every conceivable technological feature, the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill may not be for you. However, this product could function very well as an entry level, no-frills type of purchase for anyone just starting out on a fitness routine, limited by their budget, or dealing with a limited amount of space in their exercise area.

Lets dig deeper into the individual strengths and weaknesses of the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill so you can make the right purchasing decision.

Motor

With only 1.5 horsepower, the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill is unlikely to provide you with enough power to support full running speed. Users will be limited to walking and jogging, which may not be a big concern for everyone. There is one advantage to the low horsepower of the motor: it is very quiet while in operation. If you only want a treadmill for walking and jogging and you like a quiet, budget-friendly machine, the Confidence Power Plus could be just right.

Treadbelt

Measuring up at only 38.5” x 14” the treadbelt is not long enough to provide people 6’2” or taller with enough room for a full stride. If you are tall, this machine is probably going to make you feel confined while you are exercising.

The treadbelt does not include a cushioning system, which is not a tremendous surprise considering this is a budget treadmill. If you plan on doing a lot of exercising on the machine, however, you should consider that the lack of cushion could have an impact on your joints.

Programs and Features

With only three total programs to choose from, the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill does not exactly keep pace with some of the more feature-rich treadmills on the market. Considering there are only three options, the system does a surprisingly good job of mixing up workout suggestions and challenging users.

Computer Console

The LED display on the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill does not have a graphical representation of a workout. It does come with the data tracking abilities of most standard budget treadmills. It will record distance traveled, time elapsed, speed, and calories burned.

Assembly and Storage

If you are lacking space in your exercise area, you may want to overlook some of the shortcomings of this machine. As a very light product with a very convenient folding design, it will
be easy to fit the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill into an apartment space or a cramped exercise room in your home. The transport wheels make moving and storing the machine even easier.

Users have not reported any common problems during assembly. With such a low weight, one person should be able to assemble everything on their own.

Warranty

Most budget treadmills tend to skip on the warranty. Surprisingly, this is not the case for the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill. A five-year warranty covers the motor, and a one-year warranty covers the frame.

Dimensions

The shipping dimensions are 50.5″ x 25.5″ x 11.5.″ Once it is fully assembled the product will measure 49″ x 24″ x 11.″ It only weighs 53 pounds and supports users up to 250 pounds.

User Reviews

With the no-frills approach taken by the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill, it is unlikely to inspire overwhelmingly positive ratings from users. As a quality, budget-friendly machine with few high-end features to offer, it is not surprising that it has received middle of the road reviews. It currently has an average rating of 3.7 stars out of 5 from Amazon customers.

Users have rated the easy assembly, compact design, low weight, and quiet operation as the best features.

Any Complaints?

The negative reviews tend to focus on the lack of high-end features. The Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill does not have an incline, a pulse reader, or built-in workout programs. Users are reluctant to give it high scores considering all these faults.

Final Recommendation

The fact is that you have to be willing to pay $600 or more if you want all the features that come with a top of the line treadmill. While the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill is definitely not top of the line, it does provide budget-conscious exercisers with a reasonably effective workout experience for a low cost. If you only want to spend a little on a treadmill, you have limited space to work with in your home, and you do not care about technological features, the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill would be ideal.
