The bike never got used and the treadmill -- you truly DO get what you paid for! I sold it after it had been sitting there for months. With that said, my brother and I each were still on the hunt for a treadmill: one for use with a standing desk (which I had previously reviewed that was actually quite nice) and another that is more traditional.I wanted to ensure that this treadmill would get its fair use before writing the review. Over the last 3 weeks, I had used it about 3-4 times a week.Right off the bat, you should be aware that this treadmill does NOT compare to what you would find at the gym where those machines cost more than $1000. What it DOES have going for it is its build quality. It is by far, far better than the $300 treadmill I had initially tried in terms of exuding confidence as a safer equipment, more professional look, and extra amenities.SETUPIt was SUPER easy to put together (instructions were good enough to follow). Attach the dashboard and its wires (this part is probably the most confusing, but easy parts: just connect the same-colored wires of the same size), screw on some bolts, and you are good to go.MATERIALThis treadmill looks sturdy with metal parts throughout (and accented with some plastic).USE- The treadmill itself can be folded and unfolded with the assistance of hydraulics, making it require far less strength to put away-- I did not like that you cannot lock the unfolding mechanism. One can activate it by simply pushing it, and slowly the running belt comes down. For an adult, that's not a problem. But if you have a toddler who happens to be in that area, the treadmill coming down (although very slowly) could potentially be fatal for the baby. I remedied this by using a bungie cord to hold the running belt portion up so that even if the hydraulic mechanism was activated, the treadmill would not come down- It shows the values in metric units. In other words, you will see km/h instead of mph. I found no way to change that. Speeds go up to 14 km/h (8.7 mph).- There is a red magnet that attaches to the control unit. You should clip it to yourself so if you fell, it would INSTANTLY shut off the machine.- Instruction manual includes 1 silicone lubricant bottle. It states that for better performance and longevity, you should squeeze some lubricant to the bottom of the treadmill's running belt and let the machine run at the lowest speed for a few seconds. The first treadmill I had did not come with any lubricants, and so this shows that the company seems to care about the quality of its equipment.- Belt starts after a 3 second count down when the Start button is pressed.- Pulse sensor worked well and gave quick readouts- Incline can be manually set to 3 levels- Program presets to vary the speedWHAT I DID NOT LIKE- You cannot change the display to imperial units (mph/miles)- Hydraulic function to help fold/unfold the treadmill has no locking feature to stop a child from accidentally having the running belt portion come down and result in something fatal- Shipping box came damaged, pointing to potentially inadequate packing to keep the content damage-freeThis treadmill takes up a decently small amount of space and is VERY easy to fold/unfold. It felt sturdy and safe and was wide enough that I could still focus on watching a movie while running. Quite happy with this purchase.

It folds up nicely. Sturdy and well designed.I share with my daughter and we both are getting the benefits we need. Wish I had gotten one sooner. But would highly recommend this brand to anyone wanting to purchase a treadmill.....

Save up lots of spaces and with the transport wheels it easier to move around my house. I like that there is four preset program which make is simple to use and I can also manually increase or decrease the speed.

The belt doesn’t stay aligned.It’s not rotating properly. While walking the belt and motor hesitate to rotate properly.I imagine a person no more that 200lbs can operate this treadmill on fast walk not above 6 speed.

Bait and switch. What's pictured is not what you get. Look at the video to see what you are buying. The manualincline is a joke.

Very nice machine, worth it.

I am 246lbs the product is great and looking forward to using it. The treadmill lubricant that came with the product was not much so I had to order more to make sure the treadmill stayed lubed while using it. Other than that a great treadmill!

I bought this treadmill because it was rated for 300 pounds (I'm 210 so I'm kinda close to the limit for most other treadmills). Received it a few weeks later and it was absolutely awful.The speed was about half of what it claimed to be (I was able to walk while the treadmill was set to 10mph), and every single step the belt would speed up and slow down. It even ran slow for my girlfriend who weighs about half what I do.After securing a refund, I took the treadmill apart to find out what was wrong with it. Inside, I found a treadmill motor rated for 0.75 horsepower. The power board for the treadmill is also rated for 0.5hp -1.0hp.This item is described on Amazon as having 2.25 horsepower. For some perspective, a 0.75hp treadmill usually runs for about half the price that this treadmill is posted as having.There's no way to sugarcoat it - this item is fraudulent and the seller should be delisted for not doing due diligence.
