Treadmill works as promised. Easy to asemble. Manufacturer very prompt at getting back to you to answer questions. Although the outside packaging looked fine, when we opened it, the motor housing was cracked. When we called, we were told that we could keep the unit and get a $60 refund, or send it back for replacement or refund. We made sure that it worked and decided to take the $60 refund. Works great, not noisy.

This treadmill fit the bill perfectly! Inexpensive, easy to assemble, folds easily for storage and easy to use. I finally have no excuses! I recommend this to anyone except those who are die-hard joggers. It has pulse, distance, time, variable speeds and a cup holder (?).

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.

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.

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.
