After doing a good bit of research, I went ahead and bought this treadmill for light walking while at home. Amazon did a great job shipping the unit, I received it very quickly and in great shape. I had to call the customer service number a number of time before anyone answered (the CS is one guy who seems to speak English as a second language). The guy who I got in touch with was very nice, and walked me through getting the wires attached so that the treadmill would function. Unfortunately, after one use...the alignment of belt went out of sync and I was unable to get it fixed with many phone calls, etc. In summary, this treadmill is extremely easy to put together (which was a selling point for me) but is not manufactured well at all and is not able to be re-adjusted once the belt gets out of alignment. A huge amount of work getting this thing returned now. Amazon was great, quality of the treadmill was not.
