Decent Machine / OK Customer Service So i got this treadmill because it’s great deal with with no shipping and tax it’s basically a steal.Assembly fairly straight forward as instructions are very easy to follow but it does take a little bit of time to assemble.Also this things is 200lbs so not super easy to maneuver.All in all great shopping experience from amazon, super quick 3 days from order to my room) delivery and fairly straight forward installation.This morning i was using it for the first time and this treadmill seems great. Very solid and fairly soft to run on.However, after running on it for about 1.5 miles it stopped working. Since the customer service is closed today i will call tomorrow and see what’s up. I’m a bit disappointed with the fact that the belt stopped working after only 1.5 miles but i suspect it’s not a problem with these machines but just the one i have. So once i deal with customer service i hope to update this review with how they handled it…

So Far, So Good,,,, We’ve had it for about 72 hours now. We didn’t buy it from Amazon, but paid a similar price. We splurged and had someone deliver and assemble it. Considering the man does it all day, every day….and it still took him over two hours to complete assembly, I’d say it was money well spent!We are NOT runners by nature, so take this review for what it’s worth, as my opinion is going to vary from people who are already capable of running marathons. We are overweight, but not obese, this machine is supposed to be able to handle up to 300lbs, but neither of us approach the limit. That said, this machine is very stable, even when I’m not exactly the most graceful of people jogging on it. The water in my water bottle doesn’t even twitch. It’s not whisper quiet, but you can hear your music or the TV over it well enough, at a slightly elevated volume.This unit DOES NOT include the iFit module, which is, currently, another $120-$130 to buy – the service/website is then free…
