Tread mill isn't the top of the line, but works for those who want to run or walk briskly. If you have never used a treadmill before, I would caution you to get used to one before you buy. It feels different running on a treadmill than it does running outside. Some people get dizzy using a treadmill, like my wife did.Like all treadmills, if you run, the landing of your feet on the treadmill is noisy. We set it up upstairs, but ended up moving it to the basement because of this.Being able to raise the treadmill base up right is a nice feature as it gets 1/2 of the treadmill out of the way when not in use. It is a long base, so does stick up about 6 feet in the air. The mechanism for lowering is nice as you can just let it go, and it will fall at a slow rate, and then goes very slow at about about 2 feet from the ground.Mine came damaged. The box didn't look too bad when I got it but the plastic front for the motor/electronic cover was cracked. Took awhile to get the bottom and top cover replacement parts due to Covid-19. I was able to use the treadmill until the new parts arrived. The bottom motor pan is not for the faint of heart to replace. You have to remove 3 connectors that are pressure fit into the cover. You have to remove some wires, and remember where they went when you put the new pan on. 2 screws require you to tip the treadmill over to get at them. The packaging is robust EXCEPT for the front of the base where the plastic cover is. The manufacturer could use some better packaging here.The box with everything in it is extremely heavy. We ended up unpacking the box outside and moving in the pieces (with Covid-19, delivery would not bring inside. This was a warning given when purchased.) Even still the motor-tread-mill-base is not a one person job to move. Assembly takes awhile. Some of the screws are hard to get at. You need 2 people to put the upright display-stand onto the base.The display is too bright for me, but a "Dim it" sheet did the trick (see picture)The manufacturer wants you to use the online registration to enable the "custom" workout features on the treadmill. Your first year is free, but after that you need to pay. I bypassed this by holding down the "IFit" button for 15 seconds (not documented anywhere, but found other reviewers who discovered this). None of the 20 programmed workouts, work when you do this, but I have always been a straight-run-for 30 minutes at a constant pace and constant incline person. The treadmill has nice 1 to 10 mph buttons so you can adjust course speed, then get your 10ths of an mph for fine tuning with the +/- buttons.The heart rate monitor does not work for me. It always reads way low and takes a long time to get a reading (by holding the handles on the top console). This is typical in my experience with treadmills, getting a good heart rate with the hand holds provided is always hit or miss, even on expensive treadmills. I use my Garmin 605 watch and heart rate strap when I want to monitor my heart rate.The display features are busy. It is hard to see progress of your run with the bar graph that is trying to look 3D. I ignore it now.You cannot enter your weight so the calories expended I assume is based on a constant weight. For me 175lbs, the calories seem higher compared to more expensive treadmills I have used in gyms.The documentation requires you to use a UL 1449 Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor, 450 joules or more, 400 volt or less compliant power strip (15 amp). I could find only one power strip that said on Amazon that it was UL 1449 complaint. I suspect most are, but Amazon does not put a lot of info on their pages about the products they sell. The manual says injury could occur if you don't use the correct Suppressor, but they don't say what could happen if you don't: electrocuted? explosion? fire? They really need to give you a link to some suppressors that they know are compliant. This was another $24.They also recommend a mat. I got a 60" which isn't long enough. Get a 72". Another $31.Has an Aux input for your "Ipod" and 2 speakers. I have never used these as I use ear buds when running so as not to disturb the rest of the family.All in all, for the price I paid, it works great. Not the low end that breaks or suddenly halts when you go too fast, but not the extremely robust gym style treadmills ($2000+)Some reviewers say they have trouble with the surge suppressor or breaker tripping. I didn't have any trouble like this. Others say the belt slips. After 5 months of use, I have no issues like this.First Pic: "IFit" button. 2nd: "20 Workouts" button that does nothing unless you register. 3rd: Display with "Dimm It" sheet peeled back to see the difference. 4th: Surge protector I bought on Amazon is a Tripp Lite surge protector, 2160 joules. 5th: Treadmill raised up.
