I purchased this treadmill for my daughter and she loves it. My daughter and I put it together in about 20 minutes. My daughter is a bigger girl and she was worried that it would not work because of her weight. It has worked perfectly for her and she uses it every day. I was worried that it would not be that well built machine because of the price but it well worth the money.

This is a very sturdy treadmill that my whole family uses, even the kids. It has an easy-start button and "up/down" buttons to control the speed so anyone can figure it out. We have four kids and three adults using it and it runs just fine even with extended use. It easily holds the weight capacity with no problems.

"Super Heavy Duty" is right. It arrived at my door weighing in at 150 lbs. and I could see why. The entire frame is hard steel tubing. All tightened connections are metal to metal - no nylon or plastic threads. It's roomy and I love the long side handles. I would suggest a few design changes, but nothing to quibble about. My wife loved watching me sweat while I watched football. If you're big (like me) start here.

Like many in my situation, I was looking for a treadmill for my newly built "standing desk". You have 2 options in todays market: A: Pay the cost of the nich treadmills designed for this purpose or B: Find a standard one where the console is removable so it will fit under the desk and still allow you to operate it. The console (being removable) was my main selling feature on this unit and it will fit under the "Ikea Expedit project" found on many standing desk blogs. You do have to add 6 x 8 cuts of wood to raise the Expedit set up about 3/4 of an inch. I work out of my home and do live web presentations all day. I need to walk on the treadmill for about 6 hours a day. I am sure this treadmill would be ok for the standard home user but for my purposes, it had several important drawbacks. #1 The ramp (the floor the belt runs on) is made of MDF and it "squeaks / creaks" as you walk. This started right away and despite my attempts to tighten the bolts, it still occurred. This noise may not be an issue for watching TV or listening to music but it was very distracting while making calls. I also don't think the MDF board will hold up long term. It also started losing is rigidity (started to sag as I walked) after only one week of 6 hour a day use. Note: I am in great shape, 6'2'' 185 LBS (this "Heavy Duty" treadmill is rated for more than double my weight...yea right...no way!) #2 The motor sounded like it was right at (meaning just enough) the power level needed but you could here the fact that it had no extra oomph. Again, for home use, at an hour a day, it may be fine but for 4 - 6 hours a day I know this thing will have problems in 1 - 2 years (keep in mind it says it is Heavy Duty ...hmmm marketing hype?...hence why I bought this and not the cheaper one) #3 I did use it for about a week 5 -6 hours a day and by the second week the motor started to make more noise (not loud) as it just sounded like it was wearing or at least it was louder than when unboxed. The belt or rollers also sounded as if it was already out of balance after several balance adjustments. It ran straight but sounded off...and yes I lubed it very well...it was not a friction sound as it came from the roller area even when I was not on the machine. I am returning this and ended up ordering the LifeSpan 1200 series (2.5 HP motor and warranty that is designed for 6 hours of daily use etc) which is built for standing desks. It is double the price but I feel will last years based on the reviews and the fact it is built for commercial purposes like standing desks. Don't have it yet but will update this for those in my situation looking to do the same thing.

This treadmill looked good online, however it seems a bit rickety. When the hubby used it, it made a squeaky noise and was too short for his stride. Possibly a good buy for shorter lighter peeps, but we are trading in tomorrow. Thanks Walmart for making exchanges possible. Gonna get a Golds Gym treadmill.

When I got my Exerpeutic 440XL...(it was shipped to me with no problems) the assembly was easy, but directions weren't real clear. Once I put it together, it has run like a charm. Please be aware this is a walking treadmill and for that purpose, a very good one. I have walked 2 miles everyday since I got it @ 3 to 4 miles an hour and it will give you a hearty workout. This is exactly what I was looking for...I like how easy it folds and how it performs. If you are not into running, but just want to walk at home....this is ideal!

My kids 18 and 21 saw it and said "good a treadmill, I wanna run on it." I said it only goes to 4 mph and is shorter than a runner. Its for dad to get some exercise on. It is built well and has a lot of display functions, the handles are extra long with controls on them for on/off, speed up/down, heart rate monitors that read out on the display. It folds easily and only takes up about s square feet of floor space when folded. I am satisfied and recommend it.

Ironically its bigger people like me that really need something like a treadmill but almost all of them are rated for less than we weigh. I did ALOT of research. Turns out that a treadmill that is rated for heavier people are way expensive, at least a $1000! The biggest factor is the motor. Here's a quick explanation: motors on typical treadmills are capable of basically 1mph to 10-12mph. The motor is giving you all its got when you're at the top end running at 10-12mph. Conversely the motor is not running strong at all when you are walking at say speeds less than 3-4mph. And now factor in someone like me at 310lbs walking on that same treadmill at that slow speed. Not only is it already running at a fraction of its available torque, but now it has to strain to move my largeness along! So lets say you spend $1000+ on a treadmill and you're my size and you use it just to walk (because honestly, bigsters like me are NOT running anywhere) its a recipe for an early demise of the motor because of the sheer strain I'd put on the motor. In fact, that's why personal trainers or gym owners have always tried to steer me AWAY from their treadmills - sound familiar? On one hand I'm glad that I found this out but on the other hand I was disappointed because it seemed that getting a treadmill was not in the cards for me. Fortunately for me I continued to research online and found out that there was such a thing as a 'walking only' treadmill. And Walmart had one! And it was only around $350! It is rated for 400lbs and again the factor is the motor. Instead of a motor where its highest torque is at 10-12mph, this one has a max of 4mph. What that means is at 2.5mph the motor is giving you more than 50% which means its not straining at all! THAT is why its rated at 400lbs and THAT is why its perfect for us bigsters! Ok I'm not going to go over all its features, you can read them for yourself. I've had this for a solid month and I purposely waited that long to see if it could truly handle a big guy like me. YES, it sure does! I've been using it 5 days a week at 2.5mph for 30mins. Boy does that ever soak my shirt every time so I know its working! This beats walking outside because the only way to stop is to consciously hit the 'stop' button. Plus you're going at the same pace for the duration of your workout - no slowing down or stopping to talk to someone, no distractions like if I was walking around the neighborhood! Two things though, one is the on/off button is also on the left handlebar and at first I would accidentally hit it and stop the treadmill in the middle of my workout. But like me, you'll just become used to not putting your hand too close. Second, the heart monitor is really not so accurate. But then its not really that big of a deal because as long as you don't start huffing and puffing to the point where you can't comfortably talk to someone, then your heart rate is fine. Otherwise this treadmill is built very well, the stride length is perfect for me at 6' tall and on top of everything else, it really is a slick looking treadmill! Plus its got a 5yr warranty on the motor AND the frame. Ok, one more thing. I've read quite a few reviews where they had problems with the shipper. Problems with broken parts and boxes with rips and holes as if it had been thrown around. Honestly with all the horror stories I've heard about shippers and the way they treat packages delivered to homes it really wouldn't surprise me if thats what really happened. Anyway, I took advantage of the 'ship to store' option figuring shipping to the store itself would garner much more respect for what is being shipped. I don't know if that is true or not but my treadmill box didn't have one rip or tear on it and of course nothing was broken. You DO need and suv or pickup and you DO need at least one other person with you. Installation with two people was 20mins. If I could add just one thing to my treadmill it would be a place to hold the tv remote since I have it set up in front of the flat screen!

We bought this treadmill for the price. We are using it for the dog, to give her more exercise. The wide belt allows room for the dog and and her human to walk/run at the same time. It is ultra quiet, easy to assemble, and easy to use without having to use all the extra bells and whistles (unless you want to).

I bought this product and set it up. I left it alone for a week because of my busy schedule. When I went to turn it on it gave me an error message. The manual says that the error message is either because it is not getting enough voltage or the computer is not working properly. I changed the location of the machine to try other plugs and it still did the same thing. The machine will either turn on and stay on for only 13 minutes then cuts off and gives an error message or it will not turn on and give you an error 3 message and cut off. I am having to deal with the company to get an exchange or refund. This is so disappointing because I really was looking forward to using this machine.
