Good points

• The sale price of $899 buys you a lot of treadmill for the money
• A decent quality 3.0 CHP motor is used which is why the max speed is 12 MPH instead of 10 and 12% incline instead of 10%
• Supports iFit Live
• Newly introduced in late 2009 and is thus a 2010 model

Bad points

• Comes with speakers but Proform has offered better ones

Comments

• Looking at the Proform Power 990 treadmill, we see a decent all around effort to provide a treadmill that's built reasonably well and not reasonably expensive. The reasonably not expensive part only applies when it's on sale for less than $1000. At just below $1000, it qualifies as a decent entry level home treadmill with likely more bells and whistles than you're going to make use of. Out of all three treadmills from Proform's "Power Series", the Proform Power 990 treadmill is likely to be the best choice for most. Although the Proform Power 995 features a longer belt, a slightly more powerful motor and slightly better quality, it's likely going to be in excess of $1000 and thus $200 to $400 more expensive than the $899 Proform Power 990. Depending on your needs, it may or may not be worth it. The Proform Power 690 is cheaper than the Proform 990 but it's slightly inferior in quality fo the Proform Power 990. Those who are not novice users but also not quite diehard workout addicts would probably do best on the Proform Power 990 while the Proform Power 690 would suffice for the beginning treadmill user.
