★★☆☆☆
Short stride, downward angle, poor quality.
The stride length is short, and it feels like I am running downhill on it, so it pinches my toes a bit. I had to tighten a few bolts on it as they came loose after the first month. One of the washers broke apart. I stopped going backwards on it because I am afraid it will fall apart. I am using it on carpet, it is a little noisy. The calorie counter is not accurate. Other than that it has been great, it saves space in the house, and it is fun to work out on for me as opposed to a treadmill, and I am getting in better shape with it. I hope it will last at least a year. I will update at the year mark......
Update. I bought it in November so it has been about 7 months. It broke last month but I've been too lazy to update the review. The belt became loose about 6 months, the shielding material for the belt was partially off. I tightened the belt and sinched it down as per the instructions. However, the belt came loose again within an hour. Without the belt working, there is no resistance and the machine is practically useless. July 26th 2015 checked on belt and it is completely worn out. Posted picture. Don't buy this product. Not even one year.
Update* contacted the manufacturer and they have sent a belt replacement and are very responsive online. It doesn't seem easy to replace the belt as you have to access inside the plastic. I have to figure how to either have tiny hands or take it apart. I gave one more star for the manufacturer being eager to send a replacement and contact thru email.
