Good points

• Console has been upgraded from previous models with a brand new look
• Weight capacity of 350 lbs is on the high end suggesting that it's a higher quality treadmill
• Comes with fans, iPod support, spacesaver design (folds), heart rate monitor
• Spacious belt (20"x60")
• Compatible with the new iFit live (module sold separately)

Bad points

• Warranty at 1 yr parts/labor is short considering it's a treadmill that retails for $2000
• Retail price is too high and we haven't see it sell below retail at time of review but at $1000, this could turn out to be a winner

Comments

• One of the rules when it comes to buying treadmills and ellipticals from Proform is that unless it's on sale, you don't buy it. The Proform Power 995 is no exception especially at a retail price of $1999. At what price should you buy this treadmill? A good price to aim for is $1000. Proform and Nordictrack have treadmills with TV capabilities for around $1200 although they are a few years old and not brand spanking new like the Proform Power 995 which debuted in 2010. Since we believe a built in TV trumps iFit live (especially since you  have to shell out another $300 to $400 for the module), at anything more than $1300 is a little on the pricey end. At less than $1000, this would be one heck of a deal. Between $1000 and $1300, a pretty good deal and possibly the best deal depending on what else is offered during that time.

• Update 01/24/2010: The Proform 1050T is finally selling for a price of less than $1000 but a lot has changed in just the last few months when we first wrote the review. Both Nordictrack and Proform came out with many new 2010 models which offered more impressive specifications and in many cases, warranties. Though the 1050T is still an impressive treadmill especially compared to the 2008/2009 offerings at the same price, we now feel there are better choices out there.

The Proform Power 995 is one of the Proform’s Power Series which assures you of the kind of quality and efficiency Proform has always given to its customers.  It has the revolutionary iFiT live capable, a 0-12% quick incline, 1-12 mph quick speed and a workout intensity control that provides innovation in achieving your desired weight loss.  To compliment these features, the Proform Power 995 has 10 workout programs to choose from for a more effective workout.

To provide you with a more enjoyable time on the treadmill, the Proform Power 995 is equipped with a compatible music port for iPod and an intermix acoustics 3.0 EQ Sound System which allows you to listen to your favorite songs while shredding those extra pounds.  The comfort Proform Power 995 provides is better enhanced through its state-of-the-art deck that reduces impact on your joints by 15%.  There is also a built-in fan that enables you to maintain your desired cool during an extensive workout.  Not only that, Proform Power 995 has a wide 20”x60” treadbelt for a more stable footing and a weight capacity of 350 lbs. for greater durability.

Added features of the Proform Power 995 include Proform’s famous SpaceSaver design for easy after-workout storage, a heart rate monitor that lets you stay within your target heart rate zone and a touch-screen display where you can monitor your workout progress.  Indeed, you will be amazed with the features that the Proform Power 995 has added to its really powerful treadmill.
