ASSEMBLY: The assembly was pretty straightforward, and it only took me and my husband about an hour to put it fully together. We carried this downstairs to our basement and that was honestly the worst part of the setup. I think this would be difficult to put together with just one person because there were pieces that required someone to hold it while the other one screwed in or anchored other pieces. The machine seems very durable and the quality seems top notch.
I think that this treadmill is very average in noise I wouldn’t say it’s super quiet, but I wouldn’t say it’s super loud either. I think that the bell is smooth and walking or running on this feels very comfortable.
Treadmill features: I really just wanted a simple and straightforward treadmill and that’s what I got. I’m not doing anything crazy either running or walking on it. The incline function is very easy and quick to adjust. The speed function is quick and easy to increase while using. I will say that the heart rate monitor doesn’t work super great on this and to be honest I’ve only been able to get a couple readings from it. I’m not really concerned though because I use my Apple Watch for my workouts which track my heart rate anyways. The screen size didn’t make a difference for me so I opted for the smaller screen. I don’t need anything fancy when I’m working out and listening to music.
Pros:
-Quick and easy set up can be done in an hour or two with two people.
-Great price for highly durable and high-quality treadmill.
-Great for a quick workout if you’re a parent and struggle to find time to get to a gym or if you don’t have childcare so you can workout. This has been great having a treadmill at home so I can get in a quick workout while my kids are playing. Having access to a treadmill has allowed me to workout while still being at home with my two small kids.
Cons:
-Heart rate device doesn’t track heart rate very easily. Very hit or miss.
-Pausing your workouts if you pause it too long then you can’t restart where you were. You have to reset the whole workout. That really bothered me. I have a two-year-old and four-year-old and sometimes I have to pause my workout to get them a snack and it makes it harder to jump back into it if I have to reset the whole machine.
Overall a great treadmill and I’m super happy I chose this model because it’s just what I needed to get back to working out with two small kids at home.
