The treadmill itself is great.
on April 22, 2021
Posted by: Ciarra H.
The treadmill itself is great. Minus 1 star because of the terrible bluetooth/app features. It does not reliably connect to bluetooth to be able to actually use the speakers on the treadmill or to use the app (not that I really want to use the app, but it should work!).

Skip the app, just use the treadmill!

The app doesn't work, we've never been able to utilize it. That being said, we don't need it. Treadmill itself is very good.

The treadmill was fine. However

The treadmill was fine. However the app never worked which made using the treadmill impossible. I got the treadmill to work twice out of twenty attempts because the app couldn’t connect. I tried on my wifi and off and the app would just never work.

This treadmill is awesome. It was super easy to put together. It is extremely quiet. It is easy to use. I love that it has a fan.

The real thing!

You know what? We are 5 star pleased! This treadmill is the real thing. It is solid, responsive and easy to maintain. Actually, equal to or better than heavy duty gym treadmills.

Very sturdy and well made but app and various functions need work
on April 22, 2021
Posted by: Michelle W.
The treadmill is sturdy and well made. We have a user who weighs 270 pounds, 6’4”, who is able to run at 6.0 mph comfortably on the treadmill with no issues. The deck could be slightly wider but otherwise the size is very good. The speakers work very well but be aware that they will connect randomly to any paired device within range. I was upstairs listening to a podcast on my ipad when I suddenly lost sound. I realized later that the speakers had connected to the treadmill one floor below. The interface/screen of the treadmill is standard and usable and the various ways to change speed and incline are convenient (fast keys, wheels on the handgrips, up/down arrows). The app is difficult to configure and the directions a bit unclear—e.g. you can configure 5 users for every device paired (?). We were finally able to get users set up but it usually isn’t worth the effort to log into the app as it doesn’t give more choices than the machine interface so we often just start the treadmill and use the manual adjustments. The treadmill does not sync properly with a fitbit to log workouts. The heart rate sensors do not work at all. My fitbit will clock my heart rate at 120+ and the heart rate sensors will show the heart rate at 75 or less. I have tried holding the grips tightly, holding loosely, holding for different periods of time but they just don’t work correctly. I am considering purchasing a heart rate monitor for the other user but there is no information on the website regarding heart rate monitors that interface correctly. I am also hesitant to spend the money for a heart rate monitor until the app is revamped to work better with connected apps such as fitbit. All in all, a good standard treadmill that performs as you would expect for the low-end range model and for any sized user.

Love It!
on April 22, 2021
Posted by: Christina J.
I have really enjoyed this machine. I love the knobs in the front as they make it so easy to increase/decrease my speed and incline during my workouts. I also love the tablet holder that allows me to stream peloton and ifit workouts. This has been a great tread at a great price.

Good treadmill
on April 22, 2021
Posted by: Laura C.
I have really enjoyed this treadmill overall. My most favorite aspect is that the motor is SO quiet, which is a huge improvement from my previous noisy monstrosity. It's a good size, it's functional, nice set-up for a tablet plus water or other items I like to have on hand. The speakers aren't great (they're fine), but I usually use earbuds anyway.
One thing I'm disappointed in is the presets, which I was looking forward to using, particularly the fat burn which presets different inclines and speeds. It is useless because the speeds are truly bizarre. Level 1, the speeds range from .5mph (literal crawling speed) to 4mph (a nice jog). Level 10 starts at a 1.4mph (not even ambling) to 8mph (full on sprint). But if I raise the ridiculously slow speeds to a walking pace, the jog/run/sprint speeds increase commensurately. Upping .5 to 3 in level 1 means my nice jog pace becomes a sprint. I have to do so much pace adjusting that it's just easier to set it to Manual and adjust it myself rather than using the presets. Not a huge thing all told, but I was looking forward to having my runs guided by a pace standard. Ah well.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and I would recommend it.
