I purchased my Precor 9.21i over 8 years ago and have used it almost daily since then. It appears this model is an updated version of that machine, so it should give you some idea of what to expect. There have been no maintenance problems; once a year, my husband takes the front cover off and vacuums it out. Conversely, my son-in-law purchased a True treadmill two years ago and has had to have repeated repairs.

I looked at all the treadmills out there before purchasing this one. I found its ergonomics to be superior to others - I'm 5'2" tall and some of the models had handrails that were very uncomfortable for my size.

I use my treadmill on the manual setting and like the fact that if I'm interrupted it doesn't go into a sleep mode and lose my time/distance. I generally walk at 3.4 mph and a 15% incline - having reduced my speed from 4 mph and a bit lower incline due to aging feet. One of the factors that weighed into my decision was the fact that Precor allows a greater incline than some others.

If you are going to spend the money on a good treadmill, I definitely recommend the Precor models.
