Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Treadmills
I was training for a 10k having never run before. I needed to shift the 'mum tum' but wasn't ready to leave the house!! This machine has got me 9 weeks into the 12 week programme and is really doing the job! It shakes a lot in the first few seconds but settles down almost immediately once you're in a rhythm. I agree with the others, the speakers aren't great but I use my Bluetooth speaker. It's better than not having any! I think this works well for anyone just starting out in running, It has helped me understand pace and get my distance up- next up: leaving the house for a run, then the actual 10k in 4 weeks!!

Since receiving this tread mill, at 6'2" tall I have found that the height of the pulse sensors and handlebar controls are approx 3 - 4 inches short, and approx 6 -8 inches short in length. It doesn't feel as robust, or have as wide a running deck as the one it replaced, but so far, the programmes have functioned well and transitioned smoothly enough. I will continue to use it in the interim until I can afford to upgrade to another model.

Bought this for my mother and she loves it. Got all the features you need off a treadmill. She didn't want to spend hundreds as she is not a professional runner and she just wanted a treadmill for her fitness and this fits the profile. The touchscreen feature is great and the large screen is also good to have. The speaker system is good to have as you can plug your phone or iPod in via the aux cable which is provided rather than using earphones.

Only had the treadmill just over a week, it is fine for walking, (squeaks a bit) can't run on it yet for a few more weeks ( operation recovery mode). Don't like ; 1) its measured in Kilometres and KM/Hour 2) To obtain your BMI you have to scroll through 99 pre-set programmes before you get to the screen.......gave up not worth it. you can calculate it yourself in half the time 3) The heart rate monitor is very variable...one reading showed me at 155 when my Fitbit showed 95, it also starts at 78 and you have to leave your hands on the grip for a couple of minutes for it to find the correct pulse rate, fine when walking not sure when running. 4) I've had to adjust the belt 3 times already....hopefully this will settle down. 5) Changing the gradient is manual, which you cannot do unless you get off and switch off 6) Fold up for storage is a pain....you have to un screw a bolt, lift up the running board.... and then screw back into place......only to repeat the exercise when you want to use it again ...I can't be bothered too much trouble, so I just leave it set up. For the cost (£220) I guess I could not expect it to perform as well as those costing several hundred £'s, it serves a purpose, get me back to some element of fitness after an operation.Read full review

Straight out of the box, its pretty much already together, you just have to fit a few screws / bolts to attach the screen to the base handle. The machine when standing is held together with a "Safety Bolt" which screws through a single upright into the main body, which in itself is pretty wobbly when running but made even worse as the bolt I received was bent at the start of the thread, but useable. Now, I'm not a light person, but I wouldn't say I'm overly heavy at 176lbs, which is well under the claimed max weight of 264 lbs (120kg), this is fine if you just want to cruise alone at 10-11 kph on the flat (Which is still actually an incline) but if you push it up to its top speed of 14 kph and start going at it, every 3-4 steps the belt skips / jolts which is a bit of shock to say the least when you're trying to concentrate on remaining on the petite running surface and not the surrounding floor. Now, imagine this problem when attempting to run on the max incline... Yep, its worse. The drinks holders, I'm not quite sure what the point in those are, unless its a European, Health and Safety thing, because unless youre looking to store an orange or apple in there I wouldnt bother. Although most bottles will fit, it is ridiculously shallow and leans towards the treadmill giving a terrible centre of gravity which when you actually run, bounces around throwing your apples and oranges all over the floor... and water bottles. In all a great (cheap) machine if you're "That" guy/girl who likes to walk indoors while reading a book, eating kettle chips or a casual 20 minute bimble at 10-11kph on the "Flat" but not for those who want to run a little bit faster, on an incline with a water bottle. In closing, save the money and get yourself a years gym membership, its safer and not as heavy.Read full review
