Failed motor after 6 months
I'm issuing a new review because after 6 months the motor failed. I'm giving two stars because at least I got 6 months of good use. The idea behind the treadmill is good. The quality just isn't there. Hopefully, the company will look into a better motor that lasts. I emailed the company about the problem but they just responded with maintenance help (tighten screws, oil it, etc.). If your motor fails, the company isn't willing to guarantee its product with a new one. The first review is still below.
I’ve owned this treadmill for about 4 months and I use it 4 to 5 times a week for about 10-12 minutes each run. I always run at 10.6kmh which is over 6mph. The treadmill has pros and cons. The price is actually good considering you are paying a slight premium for the miniaturized parts (think laptop vs desktop). It is quiet too. Two things surprised me about it. One, it’s solid. I thought that it’s light weight might make it bounce around but it doesn’t. Two, I thought my feet might hurt since it doesn’t have springs underneath it to absorb shock but my feet are still fine 4 months later so that said, this is a real engineered marvel. The built in speaker was easy to sync via my iPad settings. However, I had to de link it because, like clockwork, after running for about 5 minutes, the treadmill Bluetooth would trip my router while streaming -very frustrating. It took a week of this to realize it was my treadmill. That said, the built in speaker is not very good for the audiophile. My iPad speakers are better anyway. I’m not complaining about the built in speaker because if they add two high quality speakers then the price will necessarily jump. Now, my only negative observation is that a cricket-like sound has developed and it keeps getting louder. Maybe I need to lube the treadmill? I’ve uploaded a video of the sound at 1.5kmh.
