I use this machine more than the half dozen others I have in my home gym Feb 20, 2010
By Bold Consumer
When I shopped for exercise equipment, the owner of the company where I bought it told me if he could only have one machine, he would choose a elliptical. I bought one and a couple of weeks later went back to get this treadmill. The treadmill gets much more use in my home, although the elliptical is great, and is probably much easier on the legs, knees, and feet. It also seems like it takes more effort than the treadmill and so it gets ignored a lot. For example, I often spend 100 minutes on my treadmill, but only 10-20 minutes on the elliptical.
I use a function that uses my heart rate to determine the incline and speed. Then I can turn my attention elsewhere. Recently I've been using the bicycle videos, Bike-o-Vison, which makes the exercise time just fly by! I've been doing one of the California Coast, which includes Big Sur, a favorite place of mine, so instead of biking through it, I'm on my treadmill. That's a great motivating system for me. I can't wait until tonorrow until I get to tour Washington D.C. (on my treadmill) and after that a tour of the rain forest or possibly Kauai. Treadmills are so flexible. They take you anywhere! :)
This is an excellent exercise option. I recommend it. You may not need all the options on this one. In fact, I ust use the HRC (heart rate) or the weight loss sessions. As I get stronger, I might want to do others, but those are flexible enough to do anything I should ever want to do, so a basic machine probably would have been enough.
Edited a year later to say that I finally have to have someone come out and check to see why it's making a noise. I'm thrilled to think that I've caused some wear and tear on it. LOL.

Knee Saver Mar 01, 2011
By KerinSM
This is such a high quality treadmill. My joints never feel worn after running, and I feel like my calves have been getting an extra burn since switching to this machine. The cushioning on this feels amazing. I'd definitely recommend this for any runner, or for any walkers who are healing from injury.
It's also one of the few machines I feel comfortable storing my keys, water bottle, watch, etc on without having them fall off. The length on the running band is also a really nice length for long strides.
It's a very sturdy machine, great for speed walking even on the highest incline. I also love the fact that it displays calories on a seperate screen so I don't have to keep switching between options.

Excellent warranty! Jan 06, 2010
By Jillian Vondering
After having a less expensive treadmill that had a lot of problems, I forked over the money for this one and am happy that I did. You get what you pay for. The cushion that this machine provides has saved my knees (high-quality running shoes also help). I did have a small problem with the belt, but thanks to the manufacturer's warranty, this was resolved quickly and at no additional cost to me. With any equipment, be sure to check-out the warranty and make sure that the company stands behind its product like Precor does.

After almost 9 years of use, Precor comes through as their warranty says! Sep 29, 2011
By K. Farrell
We have had a Precor 9.33 treadmill in our home for almost 9 years. There are over 1400 miles and over 400 hours logged. We started noticing some black debris under the treadmill and it started turning off whenever my husband would climb aboard for a workout session. As soon as he hit 3.0 mph, off it would go.
This morning I called Precor and spoke with a service rep who then gave me the number of a certified tech to come out to our home and replace both the rear rollers and the running belt---NO CHARGE! Who can ask for more than that? They stand behind their warranty claim and never once made me feel like this was my fault--unheard of.
Spend the extra bucks and get the best out there and forget about whether or not a company will stand behind their product. I haven't had my hands on the owners manual (can't even remember where it is) in almost 9 years and they only asked me what the serial number was--very easy to find (just below the power switch). :))

Best treadmill ever! May 14, 2011
By D. A. Wells
I thought long and hard before I decided to spend the money on this treadmill. But I have not regretted it for one moment. This machine is fantastic. My previous treadmill was not an el-cheapo, it was a good quality mid-priced well-recommended machine at the time. But I have bad knees, and over time they have gotten worse. The cushioning on the treadmill was just not enough, plus I am a big guy, and all I could really do on it was walk. I could not jog or run.
Enter the Precor 9.33 Premium treadmill. I tried this out in a store, and it was unbelievable to me that I could jog and run on it, and it automatically adjusted to my stride. The cushioning is outstanding. Not to mention all the other bells and whistles with the displays, etc. I was pretty much sold, but I still tried out several other higher priced treadmills before buying. I never found anything half as good, except for twice the price or more.
I cannot recommend this treadmill highly enough. It is everything I wanted, and more. My wife loves it, too. It is a little bit expensive, but the old saying that you get what you pay for is really true in this case. If you can afford the $$, you won't regret choosing this one.
