I've had this treadmill for a week and it's worked great both for inclined walks and level running. My partner is around 180 lbs and has longer legs than I do and is able to comfortably run on this track.
The assembly was easyish. I did it by myself. Warning: they say not to remove the strap around the treadmill until you are close to done with assembly. I accidentally cut it because the note not to cut it was tucked under the strap and not visible until I cut it. But it didn't really impact assembly.
The front of the treadmill is on the opposite side from where the console is when you unwrap it. The treadmill comes in a folded position, so if you are trying to put it in place before assembly, you'll want the side opposite of the console facing wherever you want the front of the treadmill to face (the wall, a tv, etc.).
You need space for the allen wrench to fit perpendicular to the treadmill so you can secure the side bolts. The allen wrench that comes with the set is 3.25 inches long (both sides) so this is the clearance you need on either side of the treadmill to assemble the bolts at the front. My treadmill was being assembled in a tight space so I had to hand tighten the bolts on one side, use the allen wrench to secure them on the other side, then move the treadmill so I had clearance on the first side to tighten the bolts.
The safety guard that you remove in the first step is metal. For some reason I got the impression it was cardboard and thought I'd removed it with the packaging. It looks like a valuable piece of the equipment but it's truly bolted there just temporarily for the sake of shipping.
All in all, it took me probably an hour to assemble in an awkwardly tight space, including time to move it myself to the right spot. I'm about 125 lbs and not super strong, so it's not a very heavy treadmill. My last treadmill I never would have been able to move myself.
I love this thing. It looks smallish (narrow) but I feel I have more than enough room to run and it feels sturdy when I run. There is a tiny amount of jiggling when you run, unlike the solid stillness of a commercial treadmill, but it doesn't wiggle in an unsettling or dramatic way. I have it set on a foam treadmill mat in a cement garage.
I did a lot of research on treadmills and ultimately selected this one for the incline capabilities, the size of the track, the fact that you can fold it up, the smallish footprint, the low price, and the good reviews. I'm super happy with it. I don't have as much time to drive to my gym anymore and this gets me moving every day. I'm super impressed with the quality for the price. I highly recommend it.
