Nice variety of programs and very quiet running. You have to get use to the beeping very minute on the free run program. Also the programs where you set the speed takes a little getting use to. Overall a great treadmill or the money. I would reccomen it

The product itself is absolutely wonderful!!! I love having a treadmill in my own home. My husband loves it and we use it everyday. Since we live in Jersey, this keeps us from using the excuse, “it’s too cold outside to go to the gym!” It’s actually quite quiet and has all the basic functions my husband and I were looking for. Great product.
Problems- I was refused inside delivery when I was told otherwise the day before. Also the treadmill is missing one major component, one of the two bolts which are to hold the handlebars upright. (I am still waiting for parts) I have contacted customer service twice and still no replacement or even some kind of acknowledgement. Called and stood on the line for over 30 minutes without any answer. Product is great but be aware you will have to transport this item yourself into the house and pray you have all the parts.
Item 5 stars
Delivery- delayed.. 1 star

Excellent quality of fitness equipment. The treadmill met my expectations of having an equipment that suit my needs for indoor exercise. You don’t go wrong by ordering through Amazon since you get the equipment at one of the lowest price compare to others. Free shipping as well, other companies charge you over $135.00.

The box did arrive damaged, but everything appeared to be okay inside. It is fairly heavy yet easy to move on a level surface, but I’m not sure how getting it up stairs would work. The top of the console comes in three sections, there’s one bag of tools, one bag for the cord, and then the rest of the unit. I was able to move the unit from my garage to my living room myself without too much problem, but I’m over 6′ with enough muscle to do it, most people will need help moving it and all the directions call for two people to set it up. All the tools are included and it took only about 15 minutes to tighten a couple of bolts and unscrew a few screws, put on the console, and replace the screws. Fairly simple.
Just a test run today to see how quiet it is which I was concerned about, but it is very quiet, even more so than I’d hoped. So far it appears to be very solid and I hope to get a lot of use out of it. The instructions do say to use some silicon lubricant prior to use and after every 50 hours or 3 months, which I didn’t know about.
