Buying Bowflex On The Web
Buying from Bowflex
If you buy your Bowflex or Treadclimber through the official site, you will find the most complete customer service and be eligible for their full warranty and satisfaction guarantee.
Buying through the Bowflex website is an option if you are unsure of what equipment you need. It has information on every Bowflex available for your home gym. You may read descriptions and find exercises a Bowflex can be used for. You will be able to read testimonials of people who have purchased their equipment.
For questions about any Bowflex or one of their Treadmills, there is the FAQ page. Another benefit of getting your Bowflex from the official site is the Bowflex interactive demo, available at the click of your mouse. You can order a free DVD and brochure from Bowflex to find your best treadmill.
If you purchase your Bowflex or Treadclimber from the online site, you will be get zero-down financing with the Bowflex guarantee. All these full features come at the full price.
Buying from an independent dealer
If you are looking to buy Bowflex or Treadclimber through an independent online dealer, the treadmills may be more economical. But beware of warranty terms. Most independent online dealers offer a 5-year warranty. You'll have to consider if that's enough for a purchase like the Bowflex or Treadclimber.
Purchasing treadmills or a Bowflex directly through Bowflex offer warranties anywhere from 5 to 12 years. People actually use this equipment that long. In order to get that long warranty term from an independent online dealer, customers often have to purchase extended warranties.
Buying from an online auction
Online auction sites such as eBay may be an option for you to purchase your Bowflex or Treadclimber. There are many treadmills, not just Treadclimber, for sale at auction sites. It's a good time to "let the buyer (meaning you) beware."
These prices for a Bowflex or Treadclimber are attractive to the potential buyer. But the equipment will lack Bowflex's warranty that extends only to the original, registered owner.
If you are have time to spend bidding, auction sites are a viable option. Before bidding on treadmills, find out who is selling at the auction site. You can find out about the seller and feedback on their sales through their ID number. You'll see what kind of service previous buyers have experienced with the particular seller.
One big drawback of buying a Bowflex through an auction site has got to be shipping. Find out if a seller has experience packaging and shipping. You may want to look for a local seller where you could go pick it up yourself. Craigslist.com in many cities provides this service.
Other option
If you have to see the equipment and try it out first, you'll have to bypass the Net and head for a store. Specialty stores selling fitness equipment will have many treadmills to choose from. Find out their about guarantees and what it covers for their treadmills. A store selling treadmills may have a limited warranty.
