Looks great on paper, but fails to deliver
I was so excited at the prospect of this product. On paper it’s checks all the boxes, it’s portable, the top speeds are great, has app support, you name it.
Sadly, the reality is far from it.
Pros:
1) It’s foldable and can be hidden when you need to make more space.
2) The LED display is quite nice.
Cons:
1) Folding this thing is a workout on it’s own, the unit is super heavy and very hard to maneuver.
2) All the sliding mechanism used here is cheaply built, no spacers installed, so it wobbles when you slide in or out and this also makes it hard to slide evenly.
3) There’s a bump in the middle, this will take some time to get used to.
4) The area underneath the belt is essentially a smooth surface glued to the base, I think they used a cheap adhesive as it has already started to peel with just after 3 uses.
5) The belt and walking area is pretty loud, and this machine generates a lot of static, other reviewers have mentioned about getting a shock while touching the bar/handle.
6) While using it, the stability of this is very questionable. Everything wobbles more than it should, even at walking speeds(2.5mph).
7) The app is abysmal, I think I’ll leave it to that.
8) The stickers on sliding part of the handle has already started to peel, the longevity of this device is very questionable.
9) It does have high top speed, you wouldn’t dare to use it at that speed, it will shake and the whole house will shake with it.
10) The treadmill belt slides and scratches the side, there are already multiple gashes on the sides
Verdict: It’s a romantic idea to walk on a treadmill indoors especially in the current times, this device though gets a pass on paper, it definitely fails to deliver all that it promised. Stick to traditional treadmill if you want to work out safely, without much worries.
