Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update: 4.5 years of almost daily use + one house move later and this thing is still running. OG review: I actually like this treadmill, despite the negative reviews. It sits folded up in our living room and is easy to pull out every night when I go for my run; I just fold the carpet back and pull it forward. I've had it a few months now, and I use it just about every night. This treadmill is a good compact size that fits my body, living space, and workout requirements. For reference, I'm 5'7 with a stride of about a yard, and I weigh 200lbs. I typically jog on it at about 5 to 6mph for 20 to 30 minutes. Jogging and power walking are more ideal for this treadmill than just walking because the arms are quite close and the perfect height to whack your hand if you don't keep your arms bent or close to you. Keep in mind, this is a treadmill and you're running. While the motor isn't too terribly loud, the frame is hollow metal and plastic, so every footfall is going to make some noise. Not that the treadmill feels unstable, quite the contrary. However watching a TV show may be a bit difficult for the runner without closed captions turned on. Headphones are also an effective solution. The noise doesn't bother my husband if I'm jogging while we're watching a TV show, though, so yes, it is just you. Setting this up out of the box was relatively straightforward, and it comes with some silicone lubricant for the belt. You will want to order more so you can keep up maintenance. The treadmill is cheap, but it will last you longer if you take good care of it. All in all, this is exactly what I wanted in exactly the price range I wanted. If you're looking for a treadmill like at the gym with every button under the sun, adjustable inclines, etc, this is most definitely not the treadmill for you. If you're looking for a compact workout machine to keep you moving that doesn't take up too much space in your life or home, this is a decent option.
