Pros

Treadmills411 Editor Comments

Affordable price

This treadmill comes at an affordable price of just $340 that's perfect if you have a limited budget. We just don't encourage you to expect too much in terms of features and quality as there's always a catch in buying inexpensive products.

Extra long handrails with controls

These extra long handles are designed for your safety while you're walking on this treadmill. As stated in Amazon's website, a speed control is also mounted on these handles.

Folding feature, heart rate monitoring via contact grips, water bottle holder

We're just glad to see these features, though they're very common in many treadmills, especially for a treadmill with a low price tag.

Cons

Small motor and limited walking area.

Although this treadmill comes with a motor and runs only at a max 4MPH, we don't feel a 1.5HP is strong enough especially with a limited motor warranty of 5 years. The belt space itself is very limited at 16" x 36".

Very light treadmill

This treadmill is very light and only weighs 110 lbs which may leave you wondering if it really can hold up a 350-pound user.

Poor warranty

1 year on frame, 5 years on motor, 90 days on parts and labor. As this is a budget treadmill, we can't guarantee the quality and reliability of its components. Add the very limited warranty that comes with it, We don't recommend using this treadmill other than for walking. As this is a budget treadmill, we can't guarantee the quality and reliability of its components. With a very limited warranty of 1 year on frame, 5 years on motor, and 90 days for parts and labor, we don't recommned using this treadmill other than just for walking.

4MPH maximum speed

For walking treadmills, we would have wanted to see at least 6MPH but this model only has a maximum speed of 4 MPH.

Limited belt space

With just a 16" x 36" belt surface, you have a very limited space while you're walking on this treadmill. This is quite expected for the price though, but there's still room for improvement.

Unknown information on integral components

Especially when the parts and labor warranty is just 90 days, it's not very comforting when you don't have information about certain components that make up this treadmill. Details with regards as to how big are the rollers and if the belts are multi-ply or not re not provided.
