I give this product 5 stars GIVEN it's price. I've had mine for over 4 years and have had it tuned up once because the belt was loose (after 3.5 years). I trained for Ironman Wisconsin through the new england winter when I was injured, and found it to be incredibly durable. It has been dragged throughout our house and has held up fine - the tuneup guy even said it was in great condition after I had logged thousands of miles on it. It isn't for heavier users (the belt slows incrementally when you are over 200 lbs), but it has worked great for me...

I've had this treadmill for 4 years now maybe a little longer. I constantly use it, which means about 3 times a week for 30-40 mins. The only problem that I had was the buttons going bad, which was probably because I mashed on them also I kept it in the basement. I did tighten the belt last year, you're supposed to tighten it and lubricate it like once a year but it holds up all the same with out ^_^

I think maybe this thing was designed by engineering school dropouts. If the treadmill is too close to the wall, you can't turn it on/off because of the shockingly inconvenient placement of the switch (which is hard to reach under any conditions because it's hidden behind the power plug). And it's ALWAYS too close to the wall because the treadmill travels while you use it -- you can scooch it away from the wall, but it will soon be back where it started (and leaving black smudges on your wall as it moves up and down the incline).

The price is good, but do yourself a favor and pay a little extra for professional engineering.

When rolling myT51 down the stairs to my basement the handle bars broke from the up rights. Upon inspection, the brackets were only welded 3/16 of a inch instead of 1 1/2 inches. Being the second owner, I had no warrenty.

This is an excellent treadmill. The different settings and safety features are great.
