Customer Reviews

Great Basic Treadmill
I purchased this machine from dickssportinggoods.com (cheapest) a couple months ago and so far it works great. I will say that amazon's claim that it only weighs 50 lbs is a big fat lie, DSG states it's 165 and I'd say that's a lot closer, but once I found help carrying it up the stairs, setup was fairly simple and only took about an hour to do alone.

I'm 5'8 and I find the tread length to be great for both sprinting and walking. The treadmill's instructions contain a warning against using any sort of silicon lubricant on the tread, as it doesn't need it, so you'll save a few bucks on that. The arms have adjustable tension, from super-easy to moderately stiff, and the first time I used it I was surprised that my arms really did get tired after just a 30-minute workout. Combined with the 10% incline, I feel that I get a great workout without even having to go above 3.6 mph. But I've also done long stints in the 7.5 range and jumped it up as fast as 9.5 and it continues to spin smoothly without any unnerving vibrations or belt looseness or anything.

The console has no bells or whistles, which is fine for me, though I do find it handy that it has a little digital track display so you can see what your progress would be if you were on a real 1/4 mile track. The heart rate hand grips are an awkward shape for gripping tightly so I've found it impossible to get an accurate reading, but the old-fashioned finger-on-the-neck method works just fine for measuring my pulse.

Overall I'm pleased with this machine - it's nothing fancy but it's sturdy enough for the intermediate runner or distance walker. My only complaints would be the weight and the heart rate monitor, but they are not insurmountable problems and the adjustable arms are neat enough to help me forget those two problems.
