Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought the Bowflex TreadClimber TC5 for my son as a birthday gift. Though it was delivered in a reasonable amount of time, the packaging was partially open and it was left on their porch. It is extremely heavy and my son and his wife could not get it upstairs to their bedroom where they wanted to put it together so they had to settle for putting it in the garage. It was very difficult to assemble,instructions were less than ideal, and once assembled it did not work in a safe menner. It was very difficult to get the necessary pace and once you did, it shot you off of the back. It was very hard on their joints and was pretty dangerous. They asked for it to be returned and though I got a refund of the purchase price, another $200+ in shipping was at our expense. We are very unhappy and would not recommend this to anyone.
