This is for people who live in an apartment. I live on the 3rd floor of my apartment. This machine is really loud, I have had neighbors complain twice already. This machine is not well secure when you move it and believe this thing weights 250lbs! Other then that it’s a good machine to jog and walk on.

You had better have multiple tools and your muscles ready to put this together. Four of the predrilled holes were not aligned properly and one did not fit the bolt at all. I had to find another bolt from my toolbox to fit. Also the allen wrench they provided was useless since you had to use so much force to put the bolts in. I have given 3 stars simple because I may like it better once I get over the nightmare of construction, otherwise it would be zero stars.

Cons:
-The two bars that holding the control panel is hard to allign during the installation process, you need two people to install this one.

Pros:

-the built-in wheels helps for easy moving coz this thing is heavy
and hard to move if your floors are carpeted coz of the small wheels.
-electronic controls are easy to use
-calorie n heart monitor built-in, presets, speed control
-The motor is silent and the conveyor dont produce loud noise
-You can fold it for storage with locking mechanism
-screwdriver/tools are included in the package

So far so good. I use it for walking and my 18 year old runs on it. It was a bit of a challenge for me and my 11 year old to put together. I suggest you do not fully screw in the bolts until you have all the pieces in, this gives you more flexibity. We learned the hard way. I did notice that the speed of the treadmill is not always correct. But overall its great. Not too many bells and whistles. I just want to walk!!

I have been on the treadmill almost everyday since I received it, and very much enjoy it. I don’t think I’ve had it long enough to tell much of a difference yet, but know that it is helping me to become healthier. I recommend it for others.
