Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Treadmill arrived on time with quick delivery. Box was damaged with some slight scratching on the machine and one bent piece that we managed to re-straighten most of the way. This issue would be easily solved if the company would invest a couple of dollars on bubble wrap. It comes with almost NO protective packaging whatsoever. Be warned, if you want to return it, YOU have to pay for the shipping back, as well as return it in its original box (even if that box is un-useable). They also sent the wrong set-up instructions. Pro's: 1) Small/compact - Doesn't take up the room of a regular sized treadmill. 2) Very light weight - At 1/3 the weight of your average treadmill (approx. 65lbs compared to 200lbs), great if you live upstairs or move often. 3) Quiet operation - Belt and motor only. 4) Good for walking your dog as well as yourself. ;) Cons: 1) Light weight - This is both a pro and con, as it does not feel as sturdy/stable as its heavier counterparts. 2) Good for walking only - See con #1. Although you technically can run on it, due to its shakey stability, I wouldn't recommend it. 3) Loud control panel - When in operation, the motor and belt are very quiet. However, the beeping that changing the speed makes is NOT. Don't plan on using this if someone in your household is sleeping. (Husband had to disconnect it) 4) Slippery belt - I have no idea what this belt is made of but its quite slippery. Another reason to only walk. 5) KM instead of Miles - This isn't a big deal for me as I walk just for time. But if you're tracking distance, it may be annoying. 6) Control panel not lit - There is no backlight to the control panel so seeing anything on it is difficult, even in a lighted room. 7) Non cushioned - Higher end treadmills have a shock absorbing deck for joint protection. No such luck here. Its just belt on plastic. Which also makes each step drag a bit, even with a well lubricated deck. 8) Overpriced! - This machine is worth somewhere between $150-$175. What you're paying for is the lightweight. If you can manage 119lbs, I would suggest getting a mid-range model like the Weslo Cadence G 5.9 Treadmill. They are sturdier, have stronger motors (so you can run), cushioning and more bells and whistles for about the same price. If I didn't live up 4 flights of steep stairs, I would have gotten the Cadence treadmill instead. But the extreme light weight of this model was the selling point for me. UPDATE: Due to the Non-cushioned deck, I ended up selling this machine on Craigslist. My joints just hurt to bad to keep it. I would NOT recommend this treadmill.
