We bought this treadmill in anticipation of packing on a couple extra pounds for the holidays with the hopes of working them off (and then some more) ;). The treadmill, much like the added weight from the holidays, has met or exceeded our expectations. The construction of the treadmill is above average for the asking price. Unpacking the unit was a bit of an ad-hoc adventure but wasn't terribly bad overall. The unit operates relatively quiet and controls are fairly intuitive. My biggest dislike so far is the operation of the safety strap. The safety strap attaches to your body in the event you trip or need the treadmill to safely cease operation (immediately). There have been times where I was reaching for a drink located to the side of the treadmill (the drink holder is a bit shallow) and accidentally dislocated the safety strap as it is attached by a fairly weak magnet. That'd be fine except when you reattach the magnet, the treadmill program completely resets. Another minor shortcoming is the heart monitor feature doesn't seem accurate at all unless you hold on to the bars continuously throughout the program. Despite these things and perhaps a few other similarly nitpicking items, this is really a good value for the money and delivers where you need it most. I have not had the static electricity discharge problem others have described in other reviews. If you're looking for a good work out and don't require a top of the line model, this is definitely the model for you.

I purchased this treadmill as a Christmas present after reading the reviews regarding it online. It was not hard to assemble and for 4 months it worked fine. Then after 4 months it just quit, no life or power in it at all. I tried for three days to call the customer service hotline but was never able to get through. Either I would get a recording that they were not able to take my call due to heavy call volume or in the one case that I was able to get through I was on hold for over 15 minutes and then I got the recording that they were unable to to take my call due to heavy call volume. Finally I tried email and was able to get a response. They had me check all the connections on the machine to no avail. Now they advise that the warranty has expired but they can recommend a service tech at my expense. I recommend that you look for another treadmill.

I ordered this treadmill from Amazon.com and it arrived promptly and on time. I didn't have to worry about being at home, since the driver left it at the top of my stairs. Very nice!
This treadmill is very heavy. I had to get help assembling it, but assembly was a breeze. It took about an hour.
Without even reading the manual, I plugged it in, flipped the switch and was immediately climbed onboard to start walking. Ok, so I was a bit anxious about getting fit! The controls are extremely easy to use. (I started with the manual cycle.) If I get bored with that cycle, I switch to the 'weight loss' cycle, which really gives a good workout, causing me to actually run for a minute or two. The unit is not too loud. I was also concerned about the weight capacity, since I weigh close to the maximum weight. No problem. The walk is smooth and effortless. The only thing that dissapointed me was the folding status. Even when folded, the unit takes up quite a bit of space, since it doesn't fold completely flat. However, I plan to keep it open most of the time, so that's ok.
I would highly recommend this product, as for the price it is very effective, looks nice in my small living room and works as stated.
