One of the most notable features on the Proform Pro 4500 is the 450lb weight capacity. This is a really high weight capacity and would normally be a sign of a well built, sturdy, treadmill. The Pro 4500 seems to have a slightly better level of construction quality over some of its Proform and other Icon counterparts, but still the quality is underwhelming for the price tag.

The 10” touch screen with Android web-browser is a nice feature, but if you already own a smart-phone or tablet this more expensive display will bring nothing new to the table for you. It is essentially a very watered-down tablet or smart phone (it just does internet browsing) mounted in the treadmill console. While this seems like a great idea, the small 10” display makes reading text and other internet data very difficult. We’d recommend investing in less expensive, higher quality treadmill from Smooth Fitness or Precor and saving the extra cash to buy a full-fledged tablet for your workout entertainment.

The Proform Pro 4500 Treadmill seemed a bit sturdier than most other Proform products, but after taking a closer look it still suffers from the classic Icon problem of quantity over quality. Many of the features are poorly integrated and the added web-browser touch screen is not worth the added cost.
