Good for its function
This is my 3rd treadmill over the years, so I'm familiar with the competition. Treadmills in this class will last 2-5 years if you are lucky, and I understood that when purchasing it. I selected this one because of the price, and because it is only 62 pounds - easy to move around. My prior treadmills were around 200 pounds, and I will tell you that is a problem sometimes. This one arrived in tact, and most of it was already together. Mainly just have to connect the arms and display to the body. The instructions are not accurate, but I was able to just look at it to make sure I was doing the right thing. It really was pretty easy, and I am not a mechanically inclined kind of guy. Be aware that you will end up with a screw that is not used and so forth; the instructions are not perfect and were probably written for a prior model. My only warning (not really a complaint) is that the treadmill measures in Kilometers and not miles. I'll have to figure out how many miles = how many kilometers and then setup my workout routine. I am an avid treadmill user and generally peak at 6.5 MPH during my workout. This treadmill goes to 7.5 MPH tops. That is just enough for me. Because it is light I can move it around as I need to do so. I will post another review after I have used this for a few months. I can tell immediately that this is better than its predecessor, which didn't have great reviews (it was just too small and lacked power). Stay away from the Merit treadmills - they are a b**ch to put together. Also, I am not a big proform fan. They are really loud and heavy. Hope this helps in making your decision.
