Bought this treadmill in January and I've been putting off writing a review until I'd used it regularly for a long period of time. I have been using this since mid-January as a way to do a running program and so far I have been very pleased with the purchase. I also reviewed many treadmills before buying this one and thought the price was within range for decent quality. I have not been disappointed at all. Assembly was not bad and I actually put it together myself so it can be done with only one person though adding the dashboard section was tricky.

When it arrived the delivery man brought it up to my apartment. I have not dealt with any customer service so I can't speak to that. There was a small nick in the belt from the trip, but based on other customers' reviews I decided that it was small enough not to worry about.

The treadmill does everything I want it to. You adjust the incline by .5% and the speed adjusts by .1 mph so you can really run/walk to your perfect pace. The clock/calorie/distance monitor accurately measures in my experience and I've been very happy with the treadmill overall. My only small complaint would be its bulkiness. I had to move it from the living room to my bedroom before I had people over and that was quite a chore. It also folds up but is not/not compact at all. I don't think I fully realized that when I bought it, probably because I was researching so many at the time that had similar specs. Also, I wish I could turn off the clock/calorie/distance monitor sometimes so I'm not watching it all the time.

But definitely satisfied and happy my $600 didn't go to waste. I'm running up to 3 miles now and I'm absolutely pleased with the purchase. :)

After reading quite a few reviews I was under the impression that this was a very sturdy treadmill. It has a much higher weight tolerance than most home models in this price range and a heavy duty deck. Unfortunately when I set it up at home and began running on it, I found that it's not quite a sturdy as it claimed. There is still a definite unsteady feel and it does shake. While walking it's great, the fan is a nice option but if you're a frequent runner, I would opt for something more substantial.

I bought this treadmill just after Christmas (08). Great price. Downside-Delivery. The delivery company would not bring it down to my basement. This sucker is heavy in the packaging. Fortunately I scooted it down the 5 stairs without injury. I bought this as an alternative to running outside. I would rather run outside, but with snow and rain here in the midwest it was great. It was a no brainer to set. I would suggest looking at the manual and the website to READ about setup. It's a basic treadmill and that's all I need. I don't need fancy-schmacy. Great comfortable platform to run on. Has two places to put MP3 players and water bottles. This product was well worth the money and it and I have been "running" ever since. Here's to ya. daddywags

I read all of the reviews before purchasing, which may (or may not) have helped me pay attention to details that I may otherwise not have. But my purchase, delivery, assembly, and use (so far!) all went smoothly. As long as you read the details given to you in your confirmations and read the instructions carefully before assembling (I mean HELLO), you shouldn't have any problem. Shipping is threshhold only- this means they only deliver in the door, not to any room. As long as you realize this, you can be prepared. As well, the deliverer made this clear when he called to set up a delivery time. That person who wrote the review about the trouble with the oiling and centering of the belt though, she had a point. When doing this, I did have to spend some extra time centering- and I marked it before moving it just like the directions said- but it's still quite the task. After that, though, I was off and running. Okay, I walked at first b/c I wasn't sure just how good the treadmill was. But I've had it for a minute now and I run on it all the time, sometimes walking on the inclines up to 5%. And I have to say, I'm very pleased with my purchase. It's a sturdy machine (I weigh about 138 lbs). Hope this review is helpful to you. -Me.

All tools needed to assemvble the treadmill were packed with it and assembly was relatively easy, but some parts are heavy and awkward, so two people are needed for assembly. The product is sturdy and works well; controls are intuitive. Assemble where it will be used -- it is easy to fold for storage in the same room, but too heavy and bulky to move to another room. The price is more affordable than for treadmills of similar quality.

I absoulutely love this treadmill. It's exceptional quality for the money. The heart rate monitor is right on. A lot of reviews I read for other treadmills said that the heart rate monitor wasn't even close. Who wants to spend the money on a treadmill, which is a lot of money to begin with and then buy a separate heart monitor? I'm a 130 lb. girl, and I assembled the entire treadmill, by myself in about 45 minutes. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!

This machine offers a wide array of programs and diverse workouts. It was very easy to assemble and so far has exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this machine to anyone in the market for a piece of fitness equipment.

I've been using this treadmill every other day for about 2+ months now. So far I am very satisfied with it. It's pretty sturdy for walking or running. (I'm 125 lbs) The assembly was pretty easy but I couldn't do it alone - it was too hard for to hold the pieces and attach them at the same time.

There are plenty of work-out options on the console and it's pretty quiet as well. My husband started using it about a month ago - he's 220 lbs. He also agrees that it's pretty sturdy. One recommendation: We did need to get an exercise mat otherwise it slides on the wood floor when he is running on it.

Also, my delivery went off without a hitch.

I bought the Horizon Fitness T91 about 4 weeks ago. I have done a lot of research prior to deciding on this one. This product have a much better waranty for the price comparing to the other treadmills. Delivery was excellent, no damage at all. However assembling the product took 2 people and was somewhat difficult to figure out where some parts were suppose to go. Otherwise I have been using it for 3-4 times a week and I am very happy with the performance.

I finally received the treadmill 20 days after placing the order. When I finally thought to check its status in my Amazon orders, I found out it had been sitting at ABS' local warehouse for 10 days! Apparently the carrier needs to contact you to schedule delivery and, well, I hadn't updated my phone number info since I opened my Amazon account. I'll admit I feel Amazon really dropped the ball here-in my opinion they should have advised me of that. I've never ordered a high-ticket large item online and it just didn't occur to me that I'd need to sign for it. And ABS was no help. They started sending me letters telling me I was going to be charged storage fees-yet they couldn't send me a note telling me it was there-what jerks! Well, it was finally delivered and the guy wouldn't bring it any farther than the garage. The box was filthy-I hated having to bring it in the house. Okay, now the treadmill. I got it assembled over the weekend-the instructions tell you that you may need to lube the parts, and I did-the larger bolts were tough. It took me about three hours, and it was a struggle, simply because of wrestling with the fit. But now that it's assembled it seems like a really solid unit. I like the wide track, and the controls are easy and quick to use. The fan is really a nice detail. It's hard to see on the picture but in addition to the side handgrips, there are two more on the face of the console-those are the ones with the pulse meters. They're located in a great position. After the first few minutes of running, the treadmill is also very quiet. Though it is big, it's easy to move around and to lift the deck. I hope to get a lot of years' use from it.
