From the Novice Point of View, June 15, 2012
V. Condon "Just Browsing" (So Cal)
I'm no expert on treadmills, and I'm not much for writing reviews, and I haven't had the product for too long, but I had to comment that I completely love this treadmill. I previously had the Pro-form, and when someone ran on it the noise was such that everyone else pretty much had to leave the room. With this treadmill we can sit in the same room watching TV with no issue. In terms of logevity I cannot comment, and I had my Pro-form for 10 years, so we were quite bonded. But how quickly I've turned my back because the size, smoothnes, noise level of this treadmill puts my old treadmill to shame. I will repost if we have any issues but for now I'll say it was completly worth paying a little extra for this machine.

Gotta love this treadmill, January 26, 2012

Alright where to start probably the cons list. It's heavy.. I mean heavy around the 300lb mark easily which for me requires my husband to move by himself it's heavy but managable it does have wheels. Now for the good everything. The fan is basic and simple two speeds low and high which work well for me. The space saver feature is nice and it lets down nice and easy when released compared to some treadmills that drop. I wanted something that I could use to help me get exercise since I am pregnant. While I don't run on the treadmill I've noticed a lot of negatives about the quick buttons when in quick start mode.

TO MAKE THE 2-4-6-8 SPEED AND INCLINE TO WORK WHILE IN QUICKSTART MODE SIMPLY HIT THE BUTTON THEN HIT ENTER TO CONFIRM YOU WANT THAT SETTING CHANGED.

Sorry it wasn't hard to figure out and frustrating when people in some reviews say it doesn't work well sorry it does, it just doesn't instantly change. I find that you need to confirm a good thing it gives you a second to decide and if it was an accident don't hit enter and it will stay at the same speed you had originally. The profiles take a second to set up but the manual helps. I also find the chest band heartrate moniter to be very nice. If your a tall person it would be easier to use than the hand rails probably. I also like that I'm not stuck only doing the .5 incriments for speed. Sometimes 2.5mph is to slow and 3mp is too fast. Since I walk for my overall pregnancy health I find it to be a wonderful addition to my home. It will also be used for running and jogging from me after my pregnancy is over. My husband finds the treadmill easy to use and while he doesn't use it as much as me (he does pt 5days a week) he'll still hop on a few times a week to get a quick run in. It's an awesome treadmill. I like that the power button is by the motor and circuit breaker and away from all the buttons closer to the power source. I also like that if you don't have the safe key in it will not run. I find it safe and while it takes a few extra seconds it's worth it. It only takes two seconds to push the button on and put the key in. If you leave the key in then less time. I find if you complain about the little things then your expecting way to much from a personal treadmill. The ones in the gyms are not like the ones for sale regularly to the public we get regular the gyms have industrial meant to be on 24/7 and take a pounding constantly. While it may seem like a personal one could'nt take a pounding during a workout it can. This is a solid treadmill, it's not made for being on 24/7 it's made for a family to use and pound away the miles on. It's also lighter than the industrial and has such a solid frame. Frankly besides it being heavy I see no downsides to it. I love all the features, how simple it is to use, set up and maintain (I did read the manual which did not take long at all). Frankly I've gotta say Schwinn's 860 treadmill really makes me feel happy. It gives me a source in my home to get a cardio workout and really has been a wise purchase for me. Bottom line is I love this treadmill.

Great So Far December 23, 2009
By J. Olson
The box did arrive damaged, but everything appeared to be okay inside. It is fairly heavy yet easy to move on a level surface, but I'm not sure how getting it up stairs would work. The top of the console comes in three sections, there's one bag of tools, one bag for the cord, and then the rest of the unit. I was able to move the unit from my garage to my living room myself without too much problem, but I'm over 6' with enough muscle to do it, most people will need help moving it and all the directions call for two people to set it up. All the tools are included and it took only about 15 minutes to tighten a couple of bolts and unscrew a few screws, put on the console, and replace the screws. Fairly simple.

Just a test run today to see how quiet it is which I was concerned about, but it is very quiet, even more so than I'd hoped. So far it appears to be very solid and I hope to get a lot of use out of it. The instructions do say to use some silicon lubricant prior to use and after every 50 hours or 3 months, which I didn't know about.

Thank you Schwinn!! May 26, 2010

This is an amazing piece of equipment! I have been a typical "couch potato" most of my life, but over the last two years I've gotten healthier. This past year I trained and walked in a 3-day cancer walk for the Susan Komen Foundation. After that, I decided I wanted to continue my walking routines, but indoors. I've never had a treadmill before, so I was excited about getting one for all the regular reasons - walking indoors in the air, walking in a safe place, convenience of walking when I wanted, etc. But I was also a little nervous about having to put this piece of equipment together; however, it was a breeze!

First, most of it is already put together when it arrives. All I had to do was connect the arms/handlebars and console. The directions - unlike many other companies - were easy to understand and follow, and all the little tools and parts required to do the job were included. I am not especially handy at this sort of thing, but I had no trouble at all.

Next, using this treadmill is wonderful and easy. The deck or walking belt is very, very comfortable and the whole thing is on hydraulics so that with the push of a button the deck raises or lowers to increase or decrease the incline and level of work. I especially like the fact that the incline can be adjusted in small increments of only 1% at a time so that I can easily determine my level of work. The speed controls are also easy to use so that I was able to walk from a slow easy pace (my beginning level) to a brisk pace (I don't run). And my husband, the runner, loves it as well because the pace will boost to his level very quickly. It goes from 1/2 mile an hour to 10 miles an hour for the really fast folks!

The best thing about this treadmill is that it is a highly professional piece of equipment. It looks like and has all the functions of all the "high end" treadmills that I have seen or used in the local gyms - but WITHOUT the "high end" cost. The console provides multiple functions so that each user can program a personal routine and save it. The routine can be based on sex/weight/and type of program and later shows calories burned, AND the program can be converted to Metric standards easily. There are multiple course options to choose from so that beginners, intermediate users, and athletes can use the machine and get a great workout from it. For serious folks wanting to improve their health or train for personal or athletic goals, this equipment comes with a heart monitor and instructions in the book for setting goals to reach 65%, 75%, or 85% heart "rates".

Another favorite quality of this piece of equipment is that the walking deck can actually be folded upwards so that it is in a standing position instead of taking up floor space! That's right - it folds! Even though this is a heavy, professional weight and quality piece of equipment, the deck folds up into the arms/handlebars so that you can have the floor space for other uses.

So basically, I have had this treadmill for about 4 weeks now and I am no longer a "couch potato". I am back to a good walking routine, but indoors instead of in the 90+ temps and high humidity of south Georgia. My best walking time is 5:00 a.m., so I now have the safety of walking in my home instead of the dark outside, which previously kept me from walking at all. I also find that I walk more often since I have the treadmill right here. I can get on and do 30 or 40 minutes in the comfort of my own home - and I am loving it!!!
