The Epic View 550 treadmill allows you to watch TV while you are getting in shape. The built in 7” color TV also displays your workout statistics. The sound system features high-quality speakers and a music port compatible with iPods and MP3 players. Long 60” belt easily accommodates tall runners. With a 3.25 chp commercial motor and 350 lb user weight capacity, the Epic View 550 is built for many years of heavy use. Consumer Reports could be wrong, but it is not likely! Note that this model is identical to the EPTL09706, except that is has a bigger motor.
