Fine for a very basic machine

I would say that the construction is good, the machine functions as it should. However, I was disappointed with the following: the bluetooth speakers are so quiet that my iPad is louder, so I use that instead; there is no easy way to change from miles to kilometers, and it resets itself every time you shut off the machine; I have never been able to set up the app or the users - it's basically like a gym machine, completely generic; none of the "workout" buttons work - nothing happens when they're pushed; the fan is very weak, like the speakers. If you don't need any of that, it's fine. I wish I hadn't bought it.
After one year had to replace the belt and the roller, I had my Pro Form for over 20 years and never had to call a repair person I only replaced it because I wanted an upgrade. Horizon covered the parts but I had to pay for the labor this does not look good for the future.
I’ve owned this for over a year, it lives in my garage gym. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! No complaints especially at this price point. It’s super sturdy and feels like a commercial grade treadmill. And the customer service is great! I would strongly recommend this machine to anyone!
Appreciate the convenience of owning a 7.0 AT Treadmill, and have been using it every day this winter. The settings and manual controls on it feel similar to ones at the gym. I may never return! Horizon provided wonderful streaming links, and I’ve discovered the joy of power walking with a slew of high-energy Peloton instructors. And the monthly fee is a bargain, like a couple of Starbucks orders. It's easy to transition along with them on this treadmill, changing speed and elevation with preset or manual controls. This model's hydraulic assist makes it a breeze to lift and clean under the deck each week. Feel I made a wise purchase.
So far I like the treadmill. Setup was easier then expected based on others comments. The only issue I have found is that the heart rate monitor (hand grip) seems to be fairly inaccurate and a bit sporadic.
Additionally I really hate it when manufactures put stickers that are hard to remove in very visible places. There is a L and R sticker on the handles to tell me where to install them. After I completed the install I went to remove the stickers and found that they are hard to peel and leave a round white residue that I will have to use a chemical to remove without scratching or ruining the plastic it was on.
The water bottle holders are large flat areas which is good for space, but anything I put there bounces around and doesn't stay still. So not really great for a water bottle or cup.
Otherwise treadmill works as advertised. It is quieter than all of my previous treadmills and the belt is comfortable enough that you can actually run a few minutes barefoot without discomfort. All the controls are easy to get to and feel like they are put in thoughtful places.
If it lasts long with my heavy use I would give it 5 stars, but no way to know that for a few years still.
My wife loves it .. she uses it every day now. It took a while to build but all of it was clearly labeled and the instructions easy to follow. A solid well built treadmill. I plan on using it myself soon. Many Thanks - Mike in FL
