Erratic Speed

The treadmill goes at the speed it wants to go. I walk at a speed of 2.6 and, without touching anything, the treadmill will speed up to anywhere between 3.5 to 5.8! I'm disabled, I can't move that fast! I have to hurriedly press the reduce speed button to go back to a comfortable pace, and for a few minutes it will let me. Then the speed randomly goes up again on its own. I think this is dangerous. I have found no solution to this problem.
So first it arrived and multiple fuses and cables were not connected inside, I had to dis-assemble it’s shell and attempt to figure out what was wrong and connect circuits and stuff I should never have had to do. Finally after dealing with the manufacturers customer service I got the unit working only for the timer to stop sensing movement and steps 3 months later so it doesn’t time me or count my steps properly, I oil as instructed and yet the speed is never consistent when I pretty much always run at the same speed. I’m guessing it’s a matter of time till this has to be replaced and becomes a paper weight. Not worth the savings, invest in a well reviewed brand.
Speed is not what it says, (faster than what it reads). Heart rate keeps going higher and higher to the point that I should have exploded. Time is sporadic, starts and stops for no apparent reason. Distance is questionable at best.
Really fantastic product, the doors are great and I cant believe it is only 15 pounds. WOW! Amazing gift for my girlfriend. Wish it didn’t smell though (the treadmill not my girlfriend). Hope this helps
Its a good treadmill. The speakers work fine and are actually quite loud. The LED touchscreen is nice. Its lightweight-ish and easy to transport. However, there isn’t a cup holder and the running belt is not wide as mentioned in the description - but that said, if you aren’t an advanced runner and will be doing walking and jogging intervals, then the belt should be fine. There also isn’t an incline but the treadmill is in a “natural inclined shape” its not flat. Not bad for the price!
How do you pair the blue tooth? I've searched all over the web, looked at the instruction manual and no mention of how to pair. if it comes with blue tooth as advertised, you really should inform customers (who spend A LOT of money) how to utilize all its functions. It states there is an App you have to download, but doesn't list the app name. this function is useless! I am not happy!
