Great Treadmill, March 11, 2012
By DeBate
After much research on trying to find the perfect treadmill for myself this seemed to be the perfect fit. I didn't have a very high budget, and this seemed to have all the perks plus that I was looking for. I have had this treadmill for over a month and love it! I am very happy with the purchase. Delivery was fast and easy. Assembly was easy and not time confusing at all. I have had no problems. very stable and works perfect for my everyday use. I would say for people who are looking for something to run on this may not be the perfect fit. it works wonderful for a fast paced walk. very quiet motor and belt. all and all I am so pleased with this treadmill!

Nice and quiet...yesss! But watch the console assembly, February 7, 2012
By Seychellois
Very nice machine, wow have they made progress over the last ten years. I bought my last mill at Sears in 2002 and this unit was $200 cheaper, quieter and has speakers and a fan. This represents the Moore's law of treadmills!!

I had it shipped free courtesy of prime. That worked well, no damage at all but the delivery persons definitely did not hit the schedule. They were way early which was a hassle since I had to leave work and be at the house when they showed up. It worked fine for me because I am a short commute from work but it would be a bummer for someone who was 45 minutes from home.

Others have dissed the fan. They were right, its about as strong as a laptop fan so if you are an integrated chip you will be happy. If you are a human being this thing will not cool you off. A little gimmicky if you ask me. The speakers are cool though. I can set my Android up on Pandora and listen to the radio via the speakers, they are not JBLs but they work fine. The machine is so quiet you don't need much volume.

Display has all the stuff I need. Frankly these treadmills are beginning to look like the 80s Japanese stereo systems with a million blinking lights and goofy functionality that no one but NASA could possibly use. NASA wouldn't even use them because they don't launch treadmills into outer space. But I digress. This treadmill is simple with well thought out display and functionality.

So as anyone who is anyone in the treadmill world will tell you, what you hear about the mill during the first week of ownership is pretty useless. Its a year or two later after you have sweated all over the thing, walked the equivalent of LA to SF and have spilled three or four red bulls on the deck that the men are separated from the boys. We'll just have to see on the reliability font but my first impression is a very good one.

With regard to assembly. It was pretty easy with one important caveat which was mentioned by other reviewers and which I ignored because I am an incorrigible idiot. When you install the control panel do not, repeat, do not, tighten any of the screws until you have all four screws started. Otherwise you will scandalize the neighborhood (think Ralphie loosing the lug nuts in " A Christmas Story")and then you will sit back sweaty and pissed off and think "gee wiz some of the reviewers on Amazon said not to tighten these screws until they were all started" and then you will try it the "Amazon way" and you will feel,as I did, like an incorrigible idiot.

one week update: I continue to be extremely happy with this unit. Quiet and capable of hauling my (curently) 218 lb body. I walk so can't comment on running. I will say at 3.2 MPH and at all inclines it remains quiet, sturdy and very comfortable.

Couple of nit noys:
The user manual is useless. Must have been written by someone who never uses a treadmill. Prepare to figure out a bunch of things for yourself.
The thing beeps multiple times when you turn it on, when you turn it off, when you increase or decrease speed, when you look at it funny, etc. Enough with the beeping, totally ruins the chi of an otherwise very quiet mill.
As other reviewers have noted, you can not enter your weight so the calorie counter is effectively useless unless you are some nominal weight which, of course, they do not identify. If you knew that weight you could calculate an adjustment table. This is a pretty silly oversight IMO.

Otherwise it is a great mill and I have seen nothing which would change my mind about my purchase.

GREAT treadmill! March 14, 2011
By A. Landry
I did a lot of research both online and in person before making this purchase. I used Consumer Reports as a source. I also went to several sporting goods stores, etc. and actually tried some out --- I found this to be the most valuable information -- first-hand. I was unable to try this actual model, but the T101 was available and I actually liked it even better than many of the more expensive models, so I was confident the T202 would be what I was looking for. The size is great -- not too big but big enough, has the right amount of horsepower. The speakers are not great, but I use a stereo or headphones with MP3 player, so not a big deal for me. My husband had no problems putting it together -- TIPS: make sure to have it in the actual room in which it will be used before putting it together -- it will probably not fit through the door afterwards. Also, make sure to read the troubleshooting tips -- I have found the negative reviews about being "shocked" to be from improper assembly. For the price, a very good mid-range treadmill. So far, I am very pleased. Finally, I chose this brand/model due to its cushioned deck -- it was so much more comfortable that the higher-priced brands/models! I would never have known this if I had not tried them out in person -- makes all the difference!

Solid treadmill, no real complaints, February 21, 2012
By knoxpf01

We purchased this treadmill about a month ago.

Shipping/delivery -- Took less than a week and was free through Amazon. Huge value there for an item that weighs in the neighborhood of 200 pounds. Delivery was through ABF. Once the item got to a local depot, ABF called us to set up a delivery time. Unfortunately their delivery window is 8:00-4:00 and they could not narrow it down any further. So the wife and I took shifts, both taking a half day off work. There was only one delivery guy, so they could only get it in the door. Couldn't move up or down stairs. We had to do that. Word to the wise -- DO NOT take it out of the box or remove the straps on the outside of the box until you have the item in the room where it will go. It becomes very, very difficult to move once the box is opened.

Assembly -- Took about 45 minutes, but would've been shorter if I had started with a ratcheting screwdriver with an allen bit. It comes with a couple handled allen wrenches, but trust me, the ratcheting screwdriver is your friend. Very intuitive, directions easy to follow. The last step in the instructions is to apply silicone under the running belt. Which is all well and good but it requires loosening of the belt. Which is all well and good except the manual says the belt comes shipped with the proper tightness. Which is pointless because the first thing you have to do is loosen it. So when you tighten it again you have to do quite a bit of tweaking to get it right. You don't really know when it's tightened properly except by look and feel. Which sucks a little.

Use/Interface -- If it has a cool down feature, we haven't figured it out. So once your run or walk is over, it just stops. I'm sure there's a way to program it to have a few minutes cool down at the end, but a button or easy way to do it would be nice. The ipod controls work great. Nike + works fine. Treadmill rattles a little when running but nothing major. Pretty smooth. We have it in a second floor room in a 112-year old house and it doesn't shake the room. In the room below it you can hear it and definitely know when someone is running (walking is quieter of course), but it's no big deal. So shock absorption is good. Heart rate monitor handles seem to work after a few seconds.

Overall -- For the price, this is a very good quality piece of equipment. It would be nice if it had a wireless heart rate monitor capability to work with a band. I think I read their next model up has this. We use it quite a bit and so far it is holding up well. We are very happy with this purchase.

Happy Overall, May 17, 2012
By San Jose Suzie
I had read reviews on this treadmill before purchasing it, and they were helpful and accurate. The unit is a good space-saver, much quieter than the old treadmill I was replacing, and has an easy-to-read display. I would prefer not being responsible for lubricating the deck under the belt when it first arrives, and I'm still not sure the belt is adjusted properly; it appears to be centered at the back but is way off center at the front. Many people said the speakers were worthless, which is totally true. Only half the sound came out when I connected my iPod, so I assume one speaker is not working or not connected, but I prefer to use the iPod earbuds, anyway. Overall, I'm happy with the unit for the price. I just walk to my music, so I won't be giving it a hard work-out. When you're already over the hill, you don't have to keep running to get over it! I'll just be happy if I can remember where the ON button is.

So far, so good., April 20, 2012

Delivery, packaging, removal from packaging. UPDATED see below.

1. A carrier called "Pilot" is the company that takes care of the shipment. They will call you to arrange a delivery time when the treadmill is in your area (this applies to Super Saver Shipping also, don't be fooled into paying shipping costs by the "choose standard shipping" notice.) Make sure you tell the delivery guys to be careful, because a lot of people mentioned about the casing of the treadmill being cracked. This is due to the way the treadmill is "protected" in it's box.. it's more protected on one side than the other.. so if it's banged into something on the wrong side, you may end up with a cracked casing, or even a broken deck if it's dropped.

2. It's a little hard to get out of the packaging if you're doing it on your own.. I'm about 5 foot 4, and my 5 year old son helped, by moving the box when I held one end of the treadmill up and then the other side.. it would have been easier if I had decided to destroy the packaging, but I never do that just in case I have to ship something back......see all customer reviews

Great treadmill for the money! December 23, 2011
By B. Boye
The FREE amazon delivery of the treadmill came faster than usual; the shipping company called me to schedule a time for delivery to my house. They sent two guys and they brought it in all the way downstairs to my basement. This "free" service is outstanding. I read other reviews and people suggested you to open the box WHERE you intend to assemble it, so I followed through. I assemble it myself so it took longer than I could if I had an assistant. After lubricating the tread belt with the supplied silicone, I started running on the machine right away. I have been running about 12 miles on it so far (4 sessions of about 30 minutes each) and I cannot find any fault with the machine. It's quiet, stable and functional. I think the central bar chart LEDs are not as useful to people like me who find the two built-in programs too slow and need to set our own speed manually. Because this machine does not (seem to) allow users to program their own exercise programs, my console LEDs stay unchanged throughout the 30 minutes but that's not a problem. I think this machine is a good buy! I hope it last long!

A few summary notes for people who wishes to get theirs:
1. Open the box and assemble it where you intend to install it;
2. Have an assistant will speed up the installation process;
3. When loosening the tread belt to lube, make sure you remember how many times you turned the Hex Screws on BOTH ends so you can return the machine to factory settings.
4. Do NOT tighten screws until you have the whole thing assembled; completely tightening the lower screws on the base during the assembly makes assembling the control console much harder.

Great Producy But Terrible Packing!, June 14, 2012
By K. Jones
I ordered my treadmill 2 months ago. I read a few reviews stating it was hard to put together. I am a single female and would never be considered a very handy person, however I was able to put it together myself in less than an hour. If you can read and follow simple directions you will be fine...if you can't then you may have some issues. The treadmill runs great and looks great! My only critique is amazon needs to do a better job of packaging and protecting the treadmill for shipping. My treadmill had a crack the size of a nickel when I opened it. doesn't affect the use of the treadmill but it would be nice to receive your product in perfect condition.

Great low cost treadmill!, April 20, 2012
By NumberSix (Los Angeles,CA)
Got the 715T Plus in one day from Amazon, awesome free shipping. Arrived with common delivery wears on the box. Product was in original condition with no damages except for the console wire that was torn. I don't believe that occurred from shipping though. Called customer service and got a support agent in about a minute and got a case# and replacement part to be shipped all in about 5 minutes. Pretty good support as far as I am concerned. I am currently using it and testing it by taping the color-coded wires together with electrical tapes. It works fine for now (until replacement comes in).

Assembly was quite simple and intuitive with the manuals. There wasn't too much assembly anyways, just the mask and console plus a few small items. I have this item placed on Tile flooring with a piece of extra carpet in between for cushioning. I am about 140 pounds. Running on it for about 30 minutes seems to be quite sturdy and smooth. Feels quite solid as far as I am concern. This equipment is what it is described. I usually go to the gym and of course this does not feel like the ultra expensive equipments, but its awesome, sturdy, and smooth for the price and love it so far! Will update with some miles on this thing.

Good treadmill, good price December 27, 2010
By Jeff Hatfield
We bought this treadmill in anticipation of packing on a couple extra pounds for the holidays with the hopes of working them off (and then some more) ;). The treadmill, much like the added weight from the holidays, has met or exceeded our expectations. The construction of the treadmill is above average for the asking price. Unpacking the unit was a bit of an ad-hoc adventure but wasn't terribly bad overall. The unit operates relatively quiet and controls are fairly intuitive. My biggest dislike so far is the operation of the safety strap. The safety strap attaches to your body in the event you trip or need the treadmill to safely cease operation (immediately). There have been times where I was reaching for a drink located to the side of the treadmill (the drink holder is a bit shallow) and accidentally dislocated the safety strap as it is attached by a fairly weak magnet. That'd be fine except when you reattach the magnet, the treadmill program completely resets. Another minor shortcoming is the heart monitor feature doesn't seem accurate at all unless you hold on to the bars continuously throughout the program. Despite these things and perhaps a few other similarly nitpicking items, this is really a good value for the money and delivers where you need it most. I have not had the static electricity discharge problem others have described in other reviews. If you're looking for a good work out and don't require a top of the line model, this is definitely the model for you.
