Pros:
Buying your treadmill from Sears can sometimes save you money - they often have several sales going on, depending on the time of year. Plus as stated above, you get a much larger selection of treadmills online than your local store could possibly carry.
You can get your treadmill shipped to your nearest Sears store or you can have it shipped directly to you. With the Sears express checkout (you have to create an account for this - it's free) you can instantly purchase a single item from its product page.
Your order will be automatically billed (including shipping method) and shipped to your saved address - skipping the checkout process entirely. This is supposed to make it easier to buy (although personally I found it a bit confusing at first).
Sears also makes it easy to read customer reviews of treadmills. However be aware that most people use the review forum to complain about their experience. So reviews here are a lot more negative than at other review sites.
Cons
Sears tends to carry older models - some of which may actually be discontinued by the manufacturer. And while Sears prices can be good, when you skip the store and buy direct from the manufacturer, you can often get even better, newer treadmill deals.
Also, not all treadmills are available for home delivery. So you may need to have the treadmill shipped to your closest Sears and then arrange to get it home yourself, which can be a pain.
Also, unlike some of the manufacturers that we review on this site, Sears does not offer savings coupons.
Bottom Line:
Sears home treadmills are very popular - they carry a variety of brands with great prices. And when you buy from their treadmill store online you get a much larger selection of treadmills to choose from than you can find at your local store.
However there are a few drawbacks and you have to be careful that you're getting the best price.
One of the largest selections of discount treadmills can be found at Sears.
Sears has evolved over the years and while you can usually find a limited selection of Sears treadmills at the stores, you can actually find a lot more options at Sears Online.
Brands Carried:
While Sears doesn't carry the higher end commercial brands, they do carry alot of mainstream home brands like:
