You want a treadmill and you want to run January 28, 2012
By A Regular Joe
WHO IS THIS FOR?

There are people like you and me who want to get in shape, and then there are avid runners who will tear down a treadmill piece by piece before telling you that its junk if it doesn't cost $3,000 and come from a certain brand.

I'm the type who just wants to run - I am overwieght again, feel terrible all the time, but live in a climate where it is hard to run and have a busy life which makes it even more difficult if I can't work out on my own time. I also want a good quality treadmill that isn't going to break on me, but I really don't care if it has a thousand features I'll never use. That's why I finally settled on this treadmill. It has a good strong motor, does the basic stuff you'd expect from a treadmill, has a quality construction for its price point, good customer service, and is recommended at several different stores for a no frills treadmill.

ASSEMBLY

The treadmill is a beast - plan on 3-4 people to help you get it in the house if you don't want to pay for installation. Apart from the sheer weight it is easy to put together, you just attach the legs and the control panel and you are set to run. It has enough extras to be interesting, but is well built.

RUNNING

The belt turns at various speeds. Get on. Run. Pretty straight forward. As someone who isn't overly concerned about all the details we have been very pleased with the treadmill. The only major difficulty is moving the treadmill. Assemble it where it is going to stay. We ended up deciding to move it from one room on the same level to another, just about 20 feet, and that was a serious chore. I hope we never move because I can't imagine getting it up the stairs.

As long as you are looking for a good basic treadmill, and have the $800-1000 for quality, you'll be happy with this. The 400-600 range really seems like junk.

4/5 stars.
