The Trimline name is a very common one in the home exercise equipment niche. The reason for this is the unique manufacturing process used that makes all of Trimline´s products very reliable. The Trimline Treadmill is no exception to this rule and the company is so confident about its reliability that it comes with not only a lifetime warranty but the company provides a lifetime of tech support for all of its machines. The only problem with this fact is that the company is no longer independent. It was bought out a few years ago by the well known Nautilus company and production was moved out of the U.S. There are a few industry experts who speculate that Nautilus will discontinue the Trimline products and this can be a major concern if you are counting on the warranty.
