I did a lot of research looking at different options for under desk treadmills when I wanted to be more active during my work day in the heart of winter here in Colorado. I have had this treadmill for a couple months now and here are my thoughts:
1. A lot quieter than expected. My office has a carpet floor with a plastic chair pad that this sits on when I'm using it. I have no issues with noise even when I crank it up to faster speeds
2. Lightweight. I tend to set this against the wall in the back of my office when I'm not using it, and as a 5'3 athletic-ish female, I have zero issues moving this. The wheel placement is fantastic, the overall product is light weight and I'm still surprised at how thin it actually is. Perfect for apartment/small space dwellers that want to slide it under a bed/couch.
3. It gets the job done. I'm not a runner, and I knew when purchasing this I would use it specifically for walking during my work day and if it gets used outside of that, then so be it. For me, it's perfect. I tend to walk and work at around 1.7mph and find that speed perfect for me. However, you can crank it up to 3mph with the guard rail down to which is seriously hauling! I wasn't looking for a traditional treadmill with incline, etc. so if that's waht you're looking for, then you're barking up the wrong tree here.
4. GOD BLESS THE REMOTE. This remote works SO WELL. I have had zero issues with increasing/decreasing speed, having any distance issues, etc. I keep this little guy on my desk at all times but the place it stays on the treadmill itself is great, too.
Cons
1. I know there are other products out there that are a little more tech advanced. It would be awesome if this product had an app that you could keep track your week's walking or have some sort of data storage built in.
2. The time screen. Probably the biggest gripe I have with this is so simple - the display screen for the time. It does not show seconds, only minutes. So if you're like me and need to focus on a count down of some sort, you won't get it here. It will only show you the minutes completed, no seconds that continue to count. A very small thing, but still annoying.
Overall, if you are looking for a solid product under $500 to keep you a little more active during the day (or after work) this is a great option. If you're looking for a daily indoor run that's simple and flat, it's also a great option. I think it's best to know what you're actually looking for before purchasing, though. Super happy with this so far a few months in!

No regrets! Works well and easy to use. No computer or mechanical problems so far.
1. My use:
I use this treadmill under my standing desk and for walking only. I usually set it to between 1.8 and 2.0 speeds and find that it’s reasonably quiet. My wife uses it at night at a faster pace and it does get a bit louder, but still really reasonable for a treadmill.
2. Maneuverability:
This is a bit of a downside, as I find it’s quite heavy and not that easy to move around. Luckily, I don’t take it very far and try to think of it as a squat and lift fitness bonus.
3. Storage:
Unless there’s a way to fold or store this thing that I don’t know about, I would also rate this attribute lower because I can’t really hide it away if I’d ever want to.
4. Maintenance:
I walk 5+ miles a day on this treadmill and have had it for almost a month. I have had absolutely no issues with mechanics, the motor, the computer, etc. I haven’t yet had to add oil or adjust the belt direction, as others have mentioned.
Side notes that might have something to do with my lack of computer malfunction -
I don’t do sessions longer than 40 min and after each use, I turn off and unplug the treadmill.
6. Fitness tracking:
I can’t comment on this , as I don’t use it for step counting. I have a Fitbit that does that job. I do like the timer and speedometer on the treadmill. Those are simple features that help me regulate my sessions without fussing too much over it.
As a side note, the timer resets after you pause to go to the bathroom, etc. This doesn’t bother me, but it might bother someone else.
Overall, great product!
