Loving this treadmill
When I was looking for a treadmill, there were two key features for me. 1) I live in a small condo, so I wanted one that folded flat down for easy storage under my bed. 2) I also wanted at least 5-6mph speed capability.
This was one of the only treadmills I found to fit those criteria. It seems very sturdy, well made, and perfect for my needs. I’ve used it for 2-weeks now, for at least 20min every day, running over 5mph, and pulling it out plus folding it up for storage after each use as well. No issues, it’s working great thus far.
Note: I am 5’4” and about 115-lbs. It’s size is perfect for my stride and it’s sturdy under me. The handle bars are a little lower than typical gym treadmills, but it looked like most foldable treadmills are that way, and you do get used to it. That said, I would not recommend this for use by my 6’4” and 180-lb husband.
What I love - sleek design, very low profile for storage, 8mph max speed
What I want to disclose - it has a bit misleading advertisement. The video shows a couple things that I would argue about. First of all, while it is correct about the low profile dimension of 4.5”, the picture of the couch on top of the treadmill could only be possible if you picked up the couch and put it on top of it. To roll it under something, you must do so at an angle by lifting the short end where the handles fold down to. I have about 10-11 inches of clearance under my bed and that is about the minimum height you need at the handle end to allow it to roll. If you lower it to about 9-10 inches, the rubber on the bottom that secures it in place when it’s flat will stop it. I also am not sure how well these rollers would work on carpet either. I have wood floors throughout.
The other misleading portion of the video is the set up time. To safely operate the treadmill the folding bars must be locked in place. To move it, the bars also must be locked in the folding positions. That means I need to untighten the locks when I pull it out of storage and retighten them to operate in the upright position. To do so, the hex locks take about 5-6 full circle (360-degree) turns on both arms (i.e. each side of the treadmill). Not a quick single turn and not only on one side as the video shows, claiming a 12 sec setup. To pull it out from under my bed, plug it in, and set up the handle bars takes me about a minute and a half, which is still pretty awesome to me and I’m very happy with it. But I just wanted to point out the flaws in the video to curb your expectations.
I also had a good customer service experience with the seller, Sunny Heath and Fitness. While the box was badly damaged when it arrived, to my surprise, the treadmill itself was not impacted. However the lubrication oil bottle was cracked. I had no trouble contacting the seller and getting replacement lube bottles shipped out to me right away.
