★★★★★
Excellent for a low profile lightweight treadmill
First off, do not compare this with larger, heavier more substantial treadmills. This is a different thing, with a different purpose. (I had a big one in my old house but have downsized). It is very good for what it is.
PROS
It came well packaged and fully assembled
It is very lightweight
Easy to fold and unfold
Easy to move
Takes up very little room when stored; can store flat or upright
The platform is low, so you can use it where you have a low ceiling
Very good for walking; moderate for running
Can easily set up under a desk and work on computer
Pretty quiet
Excellent value
CONS
The buttons are odd and just don't make sense, but once you figure them out they're OK
The buttons on both the machine and the instrument are VERY hard to see, very hard to read the symbols...no color, just indented, no contrast
NO PAUSE!!! <-- This is my biggest pet peeve; if you stop for a minute, you're done (or you can get off and leave it running)
Display is very simple and down by your feet, not super easy to read. Disappears the moment you turn it off, so if you want to know how far you went or data, it just goes straight to zero
Feels somewhat "insubstantial" -- but I chose it because it's small and lightweight and low, so...I get it, it's a trade-off
You have to turn it on/off with a rocker switch on the platform
Mine felt a little lopsided; like a wobbly table, and no way to adjust the legs/feet, but so slight, that it was okay when I put it on a yoga mat
The programs listed in the book aren't correct
Instructions are clearly written by non-native English speakers, but you can figure it out
Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. I was given a much longer window of time for the package to arrive and it came very quickly. I've had it for just over a week and have done walking while working in the "flat"/under desk mode; more serious "power" walking; light running. It has been good for all. I am a runner and it's okay for running, but I always prefer to be outside. An adequate substitute. But stuck inside a lot this spring :(
