continuous horsepower vs. total horsepower: When I see the horsepower spec on most treadmills, is it for the total horsepower or the continuous horsepower?

I've heard that 2-3 continuous horsepower is needed especially if you're going to be using the treadmill for extended period of time at low (walking speeds). It is actually more taxing on the motor when you are going slowly, unless you are walking at an incline.

My 8cfm pump says "1 HP" on the side. I assume its different for each CFM though.In HG and due to my elevation I'm only suppose to pull a vac of "28.4HG" and I did with my old pump. But with this new Pump, I can pull "29.3 HG" (I didn't even think It'd pull anything past 28.4hg tbh)So I can assure you this pump has more vacuum power compared to others.But I can't confirm its "11lbs" of pressure.

Mine is the same one shown on the product page. This is the third treadmill I have owned and by far the best.

Is the 255W or 260W better? I'm specifically looking for one with MPH on on the screen so I can see how fast I'm traveling, and I can't find anything to tell me whether the 260 has it.

No one mentioned it but I suspect the THD (total harmonic distortion) is higher on the Generac than the Westinghouse. I called Generac about this and their response was obviously scripted because all they will tell you is that it is above 5% THD on the GP series and below 5% on the XP line (they were unable to release any R&D; info at all) whereas Westinghouse was very forthcoming with the info and actually verified the 9% THD as a true R&D; measurement.

I also have a Dodge with the 5.9 Cummins, stage 2 cold air intake with a straight pipe. We must have identical trucks, but mines an 05. All I can say it that I ran the smart on performance which adds 100hp to your 325 making it 425hp, and boy does it make a difference :) (ran it on performance for about a year) . With that being said I just changed my trans last week, lol. Got a complete rebuild all heavy duty parts for 2500$, with the dodge tranny you will probably be doing the same thing. Also, I'm 33 so I didn't do a whole lot of "beating" on the truck. Just your average race hear and there. ;)

I was wondering the same thing so did some searching on Amazon and found the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill, which is very reasonably priced as well as gotten good reviews. One of the first reviews talks about it being perfect for a treadmill desk!

Ronald provided a good explanation of speed vs volume ratings. Just to piggy back, higher MPH is technically better for moving heavier matter such as wet grass and higher air flow, as on 350bt, technically works better for moving large piles of leaves and such. I live on an acre with many large oak trees and my 150bt handles everything like a champ. I rarely use the machine on full throttle. Also, the 150bt came with several different nozzles to adjust speed and air flow. Hope this helps.

i likewise had the same question. the stated up to 8 mph was the piece of information that grabbed me given i typically run at 6.5 to 7.5 mph on the gym treadmills. anyway, to answer your question: the max speed of this is 6 mph...NOT 8 mph as stated on the amazon webpage!!!!! buzzkill. however, the 6mph seems relatively considerably faster than my gym treadmill's 6mph. as for running, it can handle it. i'm 6 feet tall and weight in around 165 # for reference. hope this helped

There is an Exerpuetic 990, which is also a treadmill. I'm trying to figure out the difference between the 990 and the 2000 myself. The pictures of both models look the same and the prices of both are anywhere from the same to $150 more for the 2000, so I'm not sure if there is a legit difference or not.

Old discussion now, but I train pretty hard for various (running) races and I don't bother with a HRM, I know which 'zone' I'm in and how long I'll be able to run for based on speed and my breathing so all I need to know is distance and time, that gives me everything I need really, this has been a useful thread for me because I didn't know that the Ant+ was the only difference, so I'll just get the 205! What did you get in the end? Is it good?

I bought the 70716 because it has a 5500rpm motor as opposed to the 5300rpm on the 70711. My other reason was I preferred the colored markings on the base that are easier for me to read.

The main difference in these three machines is the motor. The T101 has a 2.25 Continuous-Duty Horsepower motor while the T202 and the T303 has a 2.5 Continuous-Duty Horsepower. This makes the T101 ideal for walking and light jogging, while the T202 and T303 are great for runners. The T303 has a Heavy-Duty Folding Frame With Extra Stability Bar. If you are wanting to run everyday on the treadmill, the T303 treadmill is the one for you. The T202 and T303 also has an incline rage up to 12% while the T101 has an incline range up to 10%. The T101 and T202 has 30 programs and the T303 has 12.

Yeah, the math doesn't work out but looking at the Worx website, under Technical Specifications they list it as "Peak Power: 4HP" so I'm guessing they've got some measurement scheme where 1 HP != 745 watts.

In any tool that involves grinding, cutting, vacuum, etc. it pretty much comes down to motor size. The Elite has a bigger motor. More power equals not only a task better done, but far less chance of overtaxing the killing the motor because it isn't being asked to constantly perform at the outer edge of its capabilities. Reserve capacity usually equates to a longer lifespan.

Every tool manufacturer has found a way to exaggerate their power ratings in order to make their products more marketable. Those 120v shop vacs that are claiming an output of 6.5 HP is case in point. They get away with it by calling it "peak" horsepower. I believe they calculate peak HP by factoring in the start up amps that it takes to get the motor going, not the running amps. Startup amps can be 3 to 4 times the normal running amps. Yes, startup amps only surge for a second or two at most, but again it's a marketing ploy.

The general rule is the faster the better. You can use any RPM, but why. I have 5 each 7200 rpm in mine.
