Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Wanting to make sure I would get a heavy duty treadmill strickly for walking I ordered this unit after reading the reviews. First be advised that this is one heavy sucker and the box is huge. I paid the extra delivery fee for them to bring it down to my basement to the room where it would be set up and I am a glad I paid the extra fee. They offered to take it out of the box for me but I declined but I wish I had taken them up on it as it was a bit of a chore to unpack. the deck unit is very heavy and it is so well packed it was difficult to get it unpacked. Disposing of all the styrofoam and box is a bit of a pain as well. Assembly is very easy. The upright arms are bolted to the deck and you just swing them up and bolt them down. Then you place the display with arms on the up rights and bolt them down. You have to connect the wiring that goes up the right upright to the display before you put the top on it. Connect the wires then clip the cable tie that holds the wire in the upright as it will interfere with getting one of the bolts in. BE SURE NOT TO PINCH THE WIRE WHEN PLACING ON THE DISPLAY. My unit came with a small bottle of lube but I got some from Amazon with a long tube on the end which makes lubing it easier. One assembled the unit is very smooth and quiet even for my 330lbs. Also at 6'2" the tread is plenty wide and long. There is a bit of incline built in which some have complained about and I ended up placing a piece of 2 x 4 under the wheels to raise the tread to almost level and makes it easier to get started. I will probably remove it once my legs get stronger. One thing I didn't take into consideration is the 7' ceiling height in basement. My head is only a few inches from the ceiling. Not a big deal but it does put my head right up into the heat. I brought a fan in to help with that. The unit also raises and lowers easily if you can handle its weight. Overall I am very please so far.
