It is certainly a more durable model with better support, bigger motor and bigger max user weight.

Both are very good, the Lemond pad may wear out sooner.

I would not be compatible with iFit.

I'm glad you found them helpful! Thanks for the feedback.

Glad I could help! What area are you in?

That is the maximum weight it can hold.

@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 so im about 325, do you think that the 7.8 can gold up to me walking in it for 1 hour a day?

@@chaboi7 that is a good treadmill for you. Has a 375 capacity.

​@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 thanks, just ordered it.

Yes.

@@eatthedamnsalad1578 thanks

When it shuts down after a workout, you have to unplug then plug back in to start it again?

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 i exit machine and leave "screen" where it is (don't do anything to shut it down); next day, have to unplug/plug back in to get screen going. also, cannot pair my IPod or IPhone to equipment..ugh

@@muttlee1213 reach out to Matrix technical support if you haven't already. They may be able to walk you through a fix.

My a50 does not need to unplug at all. It goes into sleep mode after half an hour after the training. It automatically turns on the next day, shortly after I step on the machine.

There are 30 levels of resistance on the 50 models. If you don't feel there is a change you probably need service on that.

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 I have been to multiple gyms all over the US. Many of them carry different models of the Matrix brand. Some of the machines newer and others older. They all had the same issue. After all of those experiences, I think it's safe to say that's just the brand's general design. With that said, Matrix makes pretty good exercise equipment in general. They just completely dropped the ball with making elliptical machines.

i agree. we just got new matrix equipment at my PF gym (Aug 2023) and I using the new elliptical. However, the resistance level increases as my workout goes on , which I DO NOT LIKE . Im having to keep pushing the resistance level panel to keep it at 0% but it keeps increasing and will reach 100% and at that point my knees are so high it feels like Im jumping hurdles. How can the resistance level be set at 0% and stay at 0%. I DONOT like this equipment. Life Fitness equipment far better than this.

Both have adjustable stride but are very different in how they move. The A50 is probably more durable with a longer warranty. A50 gives more of a climbing feel while the Octane is a walking stride.

When and where did you get it? May need a service call.

I got it figured out just from tinkering with it

It does need a power source. Is that what you are asking?

As with so many pieces of equipment, some like one and some like another. There are great programs such as Sprint 8 that will challenge you. Cranking up the resistance and keeping the RPM high will work up a sweat!!

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 Yea, I just used one for first time at my YMCA. They are going to install them. The HIT, 20 minute cycle will push you to your limits. Can't wait for them to be setup with our EGYM bracelet system. Hoping to get things setup on my iPhone or phone apps.

You can sync with apps such as peloton and swift

Even with a small person, running sprints like that puts a lot of abuse on a treadmill. The minimum you would want is the Horizon 7.4 and probably going to the 7.8 if not a Matrix.

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 thank you

How long have you had the unit? Have you had a service call on it? It may be under warranty.

There should be a "home" logo in the upper left corner of the screen.

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 It does not show on alot of screens that is my issue.

@@sonyajohnson8284 not sure why that would be. You may want to reach out to Matrix to see if they can trouble shoot for you.

I'm sorry it isn't working for you. There may be an update available for that.

Not true! These are very high quality machines! As good or better then precept!

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 Thanks. It updates over the internet, and it seems like updates fail constantly. I downloaded an update to a thumb drive and updated it manually. It's still just as bad. I'll see if there's a newer model.

Are you having a particular issue with it?

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 from what i am hearing on forums the Console on the Matrix is slow and not very responsive . Can you confirm this ? Or Deny this ?

@@SamLGND my suggestion is to try it for yourself. I appreciate the comment however you need to have first hand knowledge. I know I have yet to hear someone have an issue with the console who has actually used one.

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 thank you

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 I can't speak for the XIR or the XUR, but the XER I bought in 2020 is so slow you tap a button and wait 3 seconds to see if it even registered. Then the screen renders, and you can click the next button. When running, it's decent, but overall usability, it's pretty much a $30 Android with no processor or RAM capability.

True to a degree. All horizon treadmills will go the speed to run, however the differences are not in the bells and whistles. The 101 is a much lighter treadmill and is not made to withstand the punishment of regular running.

Thanks for the constructive criticism Jacki!

Yes, if you are doing a lot of jogging/running the entry treadmills are not right for you. Need at least the 7.0 and above.

if you require more resistance while using these machines, then you'll waste your money. if your routine is geared more towards fast cardio then it's sufficient for you.

You cannot add apps to the console.

Even at 120, running puts a lot more punishment on a treadmill. You would save yourself a lot of trouble by at least doing the 7.0, especially if you are going to have a couple more users.

That is really the only difference in the 2.

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 Is the screen a more high definition on the new XUR? Are the speakers any better?

@@dhartman9208 The XUR is new to Matrix. The XIR was their top of line. Same apps and so forth as XIR, just bigger screen surface

Thank you!

The 7.0 you could do some light running on. If you really don't want to worry about wear and tear you would want to jump to the 7.4.

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 that’s the Horizon 7.4? Okay then I’ll look into that thanks

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 what if I get the 7.8 would that be better? Any other treadmill company’s you recommend? I mean I’m willing to pay 2k now as I’ll put it on a payment plan or is horizon a good company

@@MalinaM1 horizon is certainly a quality company and jumping to the 7.8 is a great option. Bigger motor, more weight overall to stabilize.

@@MalinaM1 what area are you in?

XUR and XIR have HDMI

Will the xer make the u30 bike with larger range of resistance?

@@glendakay9895 no. The 30 model has a set 20 levels of resistance. The console gives more technology options.

Looks like you should but no.

The xur has hdmi in

It is a very entry level treadmill. Good for light walking. If you run or have multiple users, it probably isn't the one for you.

Those treadmills will certainly do the speed but they aren't made to put up with the higher impact, even for shorter times. Could you take a chance with it? Sure.

Hola Que Precios Tienen Esa Cinta De Correr

The t303 would be good if doing light jogging. The more intense running you do, the more durable treadmill you want. What do you mean by intense?

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 like preparing for half marathon I just don't want to limit myself on speed because I am worried about my treadmill..what do you think about AT 7.0

@@exerciseequipmentreviewsan711 ok thanks

Thank you! Will do!
