Loving this treadmill

When I was looking for a treadmill, there were two key features for me. 1) I live in a small condo, so I wanted one that folded flat down for easy storage under my bed. 2) I also wanted at least 5-6mph speed capability. This was one of the only treadmills I found to fit those criteria. It seems very sturdy, well made, and perfect for my needs. I’ve used it for 2-weeks now, for at least 20min every day, running over 5mph, and pulling it out plus folding it up for storage after each use as well. No issues, it’s working great thus far. Note: I am 5’4” and about 115-lbs. It’s size is perfect for my stride and it’s sturdy under me. The handle bars are a little lower than typical gym treadmills, but it looked like most foldable treadmills are that way, and you do get used to it. That said, I would not recommend this for use by my 6’4” and 180-lb husband. What I love - sleek design, very low profile for storage, 8mph max speed What I want to disclose - it has a bit misleading advertisement. The video shows a couple things that I would argue about. First of all, while it is correct about the low profile dimension of 4.5”, the picture of the couch on top of the treadmill could only be possible if you picked up the couch and put it on top of it. To roll it under something, you must do so at an angle by lifting the short end where the handles fold down to. I have about 10-11 inches of clearance under my bed and that is about the minimum height you need at the handle end to allow it to roll. If you lower it to about 9-10 inches, the rubber on the bottom that secures it in place when it’s flat will stop it. I also am not sure how well these rollers would work on carpet either. I have wood floors throughout. The other misleading portion of the video is the set up time. To safely operate the treadmill the folding bars must be locked in place. To move it, the bars also must be locked in the folding positions. That means I need to untighten the locks when I pull it out of storage and retighten them to operate in the upright position. To do so, the hex locks take about 5-6 full circle (360-degree) turns on both arms (i.e. each side of the treadmill). Not a quick single turn and not only on one side as the video shows, claiming a 12 sec setup. To pull it out from under my bed, plug it in, and set up the handle bars takes me about a minute and a half, which is still pretty awesome to me and I’m very happy with it. But I just wanted to point out the flaws in the video to curb your expectations. I also had a good customer service experience with the seller, Sunny Heath and Fitness. While the box was badly damaged when it arrived, to my surprise, the treadmill itself was not impacted. However the lubrication oil bottle was cracked. I had no trouble contacting the seller and getting replacement lube bottles shipped out to me right away.

Running board cracked after ~100 miles

I am a normal runner (M/175lbs ~9:10 pace) looking to fit in miles while my baby is asleep and this treadmill worked great until today. Really liked the simple design and feel of the track, but today I almost wiped out completely when I heard a big crack and felt my foot hit much lower than expected. Flipped it on its side and checked the base running board and felt a large crack right down the center. EDIT: Sunny Health & Fitness support helped resolve my issue and were very professional. I am hoping my replacement treadmill does not have the same issue, but I am satisfied with my communications with their support crew. EDIT #2: Increase to a 3-star review due to excellent customer service in resolving the issue. My replacement treadmill is installed and working well. Will update if I have further issues.

Not sure what to say...

Loved it. bought the special oil kit for the moving parts and a 3 yr warrantee through Amazon (asurion). was happy with my purchase. 1year and 1 week later the whole platform cracked in half. lengthwise. no warning. just happened while walking. im thankful it diddnt happen when my mother was using it. warrantee company has been terrible. only reply's for 4 days are hostile retorts through twitter. yes, twitter. they actually dont want you to call and encourage you to do everything on their website or through social media. really sad about losing my treadmill and im not hopeful for any resolution based upon how its gone so far. probably never trust major purchases to amazon in future. the insurance company they are using is pretty nasty.

Runs smooth...Very Elegant...

So I thought I would take a chance on this treadmill. I wanted a treadmill where the arms lowered rather than the track folding up. First thing I noticed.. it was VERY heavy. Sheeesh... getting that thing upstairs! 100 lbs.! I figured it may mean it's sturdy and well made. When I took it out of the box I found it to be a very elegant design. Setting up was very easy. It came completely assembled. I made sure to put the included oil under the belt before my first use. It felt a little sluggish when I first got on and I could hear a dragging/tapping as I walked on it. When I got off the treadmill the sound was gone. I examined everything to figure out the issue. Finally, I decided to put a thin board under the treadmill so the treadmill wasn't bouncing around on the carpet. The sound went completely away. Just did a brisk walk at 3.2 miles per hour for 25 minutes. The treadmill responded beautifully. I am very happy with this purchase!

great treadmill but not 100% perfect

As of now (after having it for almost a month 11-19-19) this treadmill is doing the job. Very basic, no bells/whistles treadmill. Easy to unfold and store away. Its solid and heavy. Only issue ive picked up on is with the higher speed levels... it tends to skip. what i trying to describe is when you increase the speed you feel a skipping or slight jerk when jogging/running. This skipping (at the higher speed levels) kinda throws your jogging rhythm off track but just a little bit. To me its not a deal breaker as it doesnt happen when at 5.5mph...but at 6.5 to max level, you feel it. So i am happy with the treadmill as of now. I did get an extended warrenty with it, just in case. its worth it if i use it and lose 30lbs. Would you pay 700$ to lose 30lbs, i know i would.

Really Nice!

Very nice treadmill. Very high quality . Absolutely no assembly. It’s a little heavy but I’m 5’4 and 63 and I got it out of the box and set it up with no problem. At only 4 inches deep it can live behind the door.... will secure with a hook to avoid it falling. The little wheels roll two different directions which was a clever idea. It’s really too heavy to go up or down stairs so unless you have a dolly hand truck, set it up on the floor you want it on. It’s very low profile and sleek, so it doesn’t look like a gym in my living room I got the gold one with the shelf for iPad or phone on the front. Very handy
