No one has properly explained the display and it took me hours and hours of trying to decided based on negative or lack of information, but I finally bought it anyways and here is my findings after having it for one month and using it regularly:

As many of the other reviews have said, this is a solid, well built treadmill. I find it quiet. Heavy! But I have no problem moving it within the area it is in, but I am a big guy. I would buy it again and again. I really like being able to watch my TV while working out.

1) Reviews: You will find this highly reviewed by those that reviewed it here, on Consumer Reports (highest rated for a folding treadmill), and other consumer sites or equipment sellers agree.

2) Fan - FUNNY to me, but some folks seem really ripped up over the weak fan. Well, it does work and on high it is nice to have but still weak. BUT non of the gym machines have a fan and it does help some, so I see it as a plus and at worse just not that useful. I setup my own fans - seems a simple solution to me.

3) Display - the two "bubble" displays are for only the incline and speed (For the modes I have tried which is manual, hill, speed, calorie countdown-I assume for all modes this is the case), which means you have access to these two items at all times. The display below is multi-use. Other reviewers complain that words are scrolled by 2 letters at a time for "action" messages and I agree this sucks(action messages are like: CO OL DO WN). BUT - those items will not matter as you use it since you brain will learn to read and remember what is what(at least my brain has no problems after a month). Also, the 2 letter scroll is mostly used at the beginning when you select the mode (manual, hill, custom, etc) and at the end when you get a summary (which by the time you get off it, I bet you are like me, you are counting the calories and time, so you already know those items). In this area (The multi-use) also you get your calories, time elapses or count down to zero, etc. You have to cycle through it, which is the same as the gym I go to. Anyways, it would have been better if they just displayed all the time, but they don't. But it isn't a major issue, just select the toggle button to cycle through to it.

4) Buttons - I copied this from another review and comment afterwards: "Several of the buttons on the display have "modes", and it is not always clear which mode you are in. For example, the "Enter" key doubles as the "Cool Down" key. When you enter your speed, it is not clear if you are to key in your speed and press the "Enter" key, or key it in and wait for the treadmill to speed up. If you are unsure of which mode you are in and you press the "Enter" key at the wrong time, you've just ruined your workout, and need to shut the machine off and reprogram it to continue your workout."

My response: This is true - this was a bad design, BUT there is an very easy work around I found as I had the same problem. You just need to use the up or down arrows under the SPEED section - problem solved!!! Now - I am a walker, I could see if you where on 7 and need to get to 2 fast, that this could be a factor, but the arrows speed down or up the treadmill fast. Also note this is only a problem as the "enter" key double for the "Cool Down" key, but for incline you can select the incline and hit it's enter key and not worry. Also, you can use the up and down arrows under the incline (Left side) label as well. Both Speed (On the Right side) and Incline (Left Side) on different sides of the console.

If you program it wrong for a work out, say 20 minutes instead of 40 minutes, you have to stop and reset the machine. The gym machines let you add time as you work out and this one does not. I just set it for 90 minutes and let it count backward, if I am done in an hour, so what that it has 30 minutes left. For me, this was not a big issue.

5) Instruction Manual - Not clear and screws not always label correctly. But if you take your time and count the screws and figure where each goes, you should be fine. BUT they should correct this. Also, no instructions on how to lubricate the deck when you need too and no pictures on where to adjust the belt (hint: at the back end of the deck are two holes with screws that you turn with the allen wrench - manual says something like on a hub which made me think it was on the front of the deck as there are two caps covers over the front of the deck - These do not get removed!!). It took me 2 hours to put together - but I stopped 10 times to do other things - I would guess an hour. Aside from the screw and bad labeling, the actual assemble was pretty easy for me - I use to be a PC tech, so I am tool inclined (good with tools).

6) Delivery - I buy more from Amazon then anywhere else and I buy a lot and Amazon is my favorite place since price and reviews are great! BUT, I did pay the extra $100.00 to one of the big chains to have it delivered inside the house and am glad I did with the reviews of others saying the delivery folks that contract with Amazon may just leave it in you driveway! How silly! Pay the extra $100.00 have it delivered inside and up or down two flights of steps. HINT: 3 of the chains use the same supplier even though the webpages are different, if you look, you will see that returns for all 3 go to the same place and BOX number!!! They all use the same supplier and I believe the same web developers as most of the text is the same on the webpages. OH - and, also not tax as well, at least in Maryland - so I pay a 100.00 more to get it delivered.

7)Heart monitors(hand and wireless) - Many folks have said that the hand grips don't work for them or it takes a long time. Mine works great and fast (I am a walker - so maybe those that run are the ones having problems with it with the pounding on it from running? Anyways, my works great and as well as the wireless band that fits around you chest. BOTH works great for me.

8)Build materials - Seems really well built. I am 260 guy and it has no problems working for me and doesn't shake when I run (occasionally only) The 20 x 60 deck is great. Deck is easy to fold up and has a weight system inside which helps make it easy and light to fold up and to fold down slowly. I also agree with other that these machine seems to be "commercial" quality. Time will tell.

9)Help line - I had to call to ask where you adjust the belt. They answered pretty quickly and was able to help me for whatever that experience may give you.

SPECIAL NOTES:

For incline to work, you apparently need to do the calibration sequence on page 28 before the incline feature and maybe other things too. No problem - just takes a minute and is easy.

NEVER USE WD-40: To lubricate your belt. According to Nautilus, this is something a lot of people do, and any consequential damage will NOT be covered by your warranty. Some posted a how to in their review.
Buy Bowflex Series 7 Treadmill!

This is the best treadmill you can buy for the cost. I wasn't sure what to expect from a lower cost treadmill but this thing has exceeded my expectations. It is sturdy and well built, the motor is relatively quiet and has a very comfortable surface. You have to adjust the incline manually and there is only 4 training programs but for the price of this thing the extra features aren't missed. If you are looking for a great treadmill for a good price without all the bells and whistles , this is the one you are looking for.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After reading quite a few reviews I was under the impression that this was a very sturdy treadmill. It has a much higher weight tolerance than most home models in this price range and a heavy duty deck. Unfortunately when I set it up at home and began running on it, I found that it's not quite a sturdy as it claimed. There is still a definite unsteady feel and it does shake. While walking it's great, the fan is a nice option but if you're a frequent runner, I would opt for something more substantial.

Bought this treadmill about 18 mo.'s ago in July 2007.

The Good: Solid, sturdy treadmill. Clearly not a cheap piece of junk. Not difficult to assemble. East to fold up (we don't really use that feature but I've tested it and it's not a problem).

The Bad: If you get a defective one, you're stuck; good luck trying to get it repaired, and good luck trying to return it. The problem with our treadmill (Bowflex Series 3) is that the running deck is at a permanent incline/elevation even after an attempted repair. First, we had to wrangle with Bowflex to get them to send someone out to look at it. When Bowflex did send someone out for us, the guy told my wife that the treadmill deck angle was "normal" and that there was nothing wrong with it. Luckily I work close to home, because I had to come home from work and argue with the guy! When I got my 6 foot level out and showed him that the degree of incline was in excess of 15 degrees, he finally relented and agreed that there might be a problem. He then - lo and behold - discovered a problem with the motor-mount and bowflex agreed to send a part and have it repaired. It's been a year since the "repair," and it's better - at about a 5% elevation now - but still not right. I also use the treadmills at the gym in my office building and it's clear to me that our treadmill running deck angle is not "normal." I'm all for running on hills, but not 100% of the time!! So, I now have a board under the rear wheels to help make the treadmill level (in case you're wondering, the floor under the treadmill is perfectly level). Anyway, just what you want with a $1000 treadmill right, a board under the back end.

I'm not saying that all Bowflex treadmills are bad, but I do caution you that you may be gambling with your $1000 because you risk getting a defective one. You also risk not having the company repair the product properly even if they are willing to send someone out to look at it. Also, our problem occurred about a year ago, but I've seen a recent reviewer state that bowflex now refuses all responsibility for treadmills sold through Amazon. If I were purchasing this treadmill, I would sure want to find out whether that's true before plunking down my grand.

After set up and 60min breakin I found the TM to be quiet and smooth. I needed something for our small home and find it's size to be what I was looking for. I'm 71 and was noticing a problem getting around so I wanted to get moving. I don't really enjoy walking the neighborhood and wasn't interested in a gym so this TM suits me well. I vary my 30min workout manually between 2 and 3.5 mph which is enough to work up a sweat and strengthen my legs again. I'm satisfied with this purchase.

I purchased this unit a few months ago. When i put it together it was still not working. I then called the number in the manual but was disconnected. I then though maybe i put it together wrong so i called a treadmill repair man. He came to look at it and told me that it was not put together right by the company. I kept trying to call but there was no working number. The other number keeps you on hold for 45 minutes before going o an answering machine. I will most likely report this companyto the better business department. Please dont make the same mistake i did. DONT PURCHSE THIS MACHINE
Buy Weslo Cadence C44 Treadmill!

We've had this treadmill for several months and it gets regular weekly use. First off, it's heavy...which we like because the heft lends the treadmill stability, an important quality when running; the treadmill doesn't shift or move around due to the pounding it receives. However, the treadmill IS easy to move around (when you WANT to move it); the running deck easily folds up and then you can position it without fuss using the wheels underneath. We VERY much like this feature! Its weight is also due to its solid construction. This machine doesn't seem to have many flimsy, plastic parts. It was fairly easy to put together and a nice feature is the audio speaker setup that comes with the treadmill. With the supplied cable, you can easily hook up an iPod and the output is very decent. Why not five stars? My wife mentioned that she would like a number pad so that a person can just enter, numerically, what speed they would like to run rather than pushing the, "faster," button multiple times to set your desired speed. It's not a deal-breaking factor; just for information purposes only. Overall, it's a good addition to our home gym.

i received this item 3 days before it was scheduled. i was able to have it assembled and ready to use in about 10 minutes. i believe i am in decent shape, and i began feeling the workout in about 15 minutes. i didn't notice the belt slipping and it folds up very nicely, with a smal footprint when not in use. i should mention that i am kind of a short guy, about 5'7", so my stride is short, which made jogging fairly easy. anyone with a longer stride would probably have a hard time running on this, as the belt area is fairly short. all in all i am very happy with this purchase.

I would have to say I researched buying a treadmill for some time and came upon this one for many reasons. 1. it was in my price range. I also saved $87 dollars on the shipping. As for shipment , it came fast and was in mint condition. Setup, was easy. This machine is a sturdy piece of equipment. Doesn't feel cheap. I will say I wish it would fold up more vertical but with all the features it is more than satisfactory. If your looking for something durable and effective for your exercise needs this will surely be the purchase.

Like the other reviewers have mentioned, this treadmill is HUGE. I've owned 3 others in the past and this one has the biggest "head unit" (where the display is located) of any I've owned. The belt seems a bit narrower because I am always nicking the sides when I run.

The display is pretty good, but if I have one complaint other than the non-colored characters (blue or orange would have been better to see in low lighitng): The Speed and Distance swap. I honestly thought from the manual I had downloaded and reading the description that these would both display all the time. To me, these are two things that should ALWAYS be shown. Other things that are less important ARE shown: Heart Rate, Incline percentage (who the heck needs to see that ALL the time?), and Calories burned. Time is also shown separately, but I do consider this one to be important. To me, the items that should ALWAYS show on their own are Speed, Distance, and Time. The rest can swap. Heart Rate especially seems like a strange item to always display since you have to grip the bars to get anything other than "P" displayed.

The reason this layout bothers me is if you happen to end your workout while the Speed/Distance part of the display is on the Speed, you will never know what the Distance was unless you restart the treadmill and let it run until it's time for the Distance to display again. This is what really causes me to give this treadmill a 4 and not a 5.

But this brings me to something that I didn't see explained in the manual that IS a big bonus: when you press Stop it is actually only Pausing so that you CAN continue to work out with the last known stats as long as the treadmill hasn't been powered down (which happens after a few minutes of non-use) or as long as you haven't pressed Stop twice. The button is not labeled Pause, though, so it's not necessarily intuitive.

As for its performance, the only treadmill I had that was as comfortable was my Vision Fitness. This thing runs smoothly, feels comfortable, and costs about four-hundred dollars less than the Vision Fitness. I've only had it for about 3 weeks, but I run on it at least 2 times per week and walk all the other days. It seems durable and doesn't shake much at all. The drink holders could be a bit wider (or maybe just one of them), but it holds a bottle of Propel just fine. I didn't get my free water bottle for some reason.

I bought this direct from Smooth and had the White Glove/complete install service. I agree with the reviewer who said PAY the EXTRA. Seriously, it's humongous and I can only imagine how much a pain it would be getting it inside my house. The people who put it together are the delivery folks, though, and they told me they get to see a short video on how to assemble ONE model of Smooth's treadmills. It showed. They got it done, but treadmill pros would've taken a lot less time and gotten less confused. All in all, I am quite pleased with this treadmill, however. I'd go for a smaller one in an apartment unless you don't bother with furniture.

The F63 is the best treadmill in it's price range. I know because I basically tested out every single one I could find in my price range. This machine by far is the best one. It was pretty heavy to bring inside, I'd recommend having a friend or two to help get it in the home. It was an easy set up though, some reviews I read said the machine was too big but the dimensions I found on the machine were accurate so I just measured in the room where it was going and it fit perfectly.
It's been about a month now and I haven't had any issues. I haven't been using all the programs as much as I thought mostly because I just like the cardio best. I'm too weak to use just the manual I wouldn't challenge myself enough if I did. I need that program to keep me consistent.
All in all I'm happy with this treadmill.

I will never order from this company again and would caution others.
I ordered this treadmill on January 20 2009. Deadline for delivery was February 10. Received confirmation from Amazon but never from Brookstone who was sending the item. On the 10th I sent an email through Amazon to Brookstone that I never received it but was charged for it anyway. 2 DAYS later I got a reply stating more research was needed..whatever that means.

Sent another email on the 17th. No answer. Finally I had to file a claim with Amazon under the A-Z guarantee. On the 22nd Amazon notified me that they had issued a reimbursement to my account and that it might take a couple of days for me to notice.

Today on the 24th I received an email from Brookstone stating that the vendor had lost the package and had it delivered back and that if I would like to reorder...NO THANK YOU. For a $500 purchase I would expect better communication when a problem arrives.

I thank Amazon for being so involved and standing behind their customers.
Never have had a problem ordering with any of their companies till now and they demonstrated how trustworthy they are. As for Brookstone, they have a lot to learn about customer service.

After doing a ton of research on treadmills for months, this treadmill had everything I wanted. The number one feature which led me to this treadmill is the hand controls on the rails to increase and decrease speed and incline. You do not see a lot of treadmills with this feature. I am the kind of person that gets bored easily but not with this treadmill. The display is incredible and very well lit. Very quiet motor - I didn't even have to turn up the radio. Super smooth riding belt. I also love the 20X60 belt. What more can I say except it was money well spent! Sole - Thanks for the wonderful treadmill!

There are other treadmills out there with a lot of extra features that are nice but they are also massive. The TR 2000-HRC does everything you need quietly and with a minimum footprint. I love that the motor box is not in front as I alway bumped into that with my last machine. I wish it had an MP3 jack but I am thrilled with the choice of this machine. The only reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of an MP3 jack.

A great buy! The treadmill arrived within 2 weeks of ordering it. It was easy to put together, and with two of us working on it, it was done within 30 minutes. My husband and I each use it daily to run. It works well at high speeds for average weight people. We couldn't decide between the 3 and the 5. So glad we got the 5. The extra length is really worth it. Fairly easy to figure out, although the elevation doesn't seem to be working. It may be easy to fix, but we wouldn't really use it anyways. The treadmill feels really solid, like a professional gym type. My complaint is that it takes a few seconds for it to start the band moving and a while for it to get up to speed, which can skew the end results. But overall, we love it and was certainly worth the price with free shipping. I would purchase it again any day.
Also we just put the treadmill on an extra piece of carpet in the basement and it stays put just fine. No need for an expensive "special" mat for underneath.

I had done a lot of research on the Net before purchasing my sports equipment. Sole appeared to beat most other brands when it came down to quality and price.
This is my second Sole purchase (first one was their E95 Elliptical)and I am yet to be disapointed! Love the quality of these machines, and more importantly - the results I get within a short period of time.
They are a little on the heavy side though (especially - the treadmill), so don't plan on moving your equipment once assembled, and assemble it where you intend on keeping it :-).
Overall, these two machines are the reason I stopped going to the gym altogether; I no longer have to waste my time dealing with parking, waiting for a piece of equipment, or just dealing with an overcrowded workout environment altogether. I can now work out conveniently and consistently, and thanks to Sole - with great results

first off, i bought this tradmill back in january of this year and only now am staring to use it! the shipping was excellent (the driver not so much) as their was no damage to the box at all. I unpacked it a fews days after delivery to 'check out what i bought' and then left it alone for another few weeks while i ..... well no real reason but laziness. then after finally putting it together - the motor starts, but the top-panel doesnt. argh. so a few more weeks go by before i call horizon c.s. (their hours are really odd btw) but once i reach them, they were fantastic! they shipped me replacement parts with no questions asked. upon receipt of the parts (unexpectedly via next day courier) i realized that i had no idea what to do with them so another few weeks (read: months) i called again and they sent a tech out at no charge to assist me. turns out, one of the wires i hooked up was not done correctly, so the whole time it was my fault but they still did not ask for a service call fee. most excellent!! now that i am using t, it feels solid and well built. the console controls take some learning to understand and use, but that is to be expected. i really like this unit and horizon fitness is great to work with!

I just recently purchased a treadmill for the first time, and it was recommended to me that I wax it every 3 months, not the every 6 months indicated in the manual since I run on it alot.

I ordered this wax kit and it received it pretty quickly without any complaints.

The instructions were pretty simple to follow, and the actual application of the wax on the "wand" and then on the treadmill, in thoery, were fairly simple as well.

I only gave the product 3 stars for the following reasons:
1. the lube is quite runny and it did drip on things as I maneuvered it onder the treadmill belt.
2. the applicator wand is NOT designed for wide treadmill decks (I believe mine is 22" wide) so it was VERY hard to move the stick up and down the deck because my belt was just slightly wider than the stick. Now only was it difficult to move, the edge of the belt tore my fingers up in the process.

In the end, the lube does do it's job, it's just not super easy getting it there if you've got a wide deck.

I researched treadmills for 3 weeks before deciding on this Horizon model. My husband and I both wanted to be able to do Cardio at home in the mornings before work. Previously, we had owned a Reebok and while it was tolerable, we were looking for better overall quality and durability this time around. I ordered this machine on a Wed. morning, Amazon shipped it that afternoon via ABF Freight and it was delivered to my driveway 48 hrs later. (We subscribe to PRIME and FYI--it is fabulous and well worth it!) No damage whatsoever. They do not bring it in and it is very-very heavy so have a helper or dolly on hand. We had it up and running in about 35-40 mins.

Pros:
1. This machine is durable. Unlike our old Reebok, my 200 pound husband can run flat out without feeling like the treadmill may break. We each use it daily and I believe that it will last us years.

2. I like the longer length and wider width of the track for running.

3. I also like the fan and while I don't use the mp3/Ipod speakers (we have a stereo in our workout room) they would be convenient for someone who does.

4. Bright, easy to read screen

Cons:

1. The only real con that I have come up with is pretty minor in the scheme of things--the main on-off switch is located on the bottom front of the machine. You can turn the machine on and off via the screen, however the screen remains lit and undoubtedly still draws electrical energy. Thus you have to turn it off each time via the main switch on the front bottom which is a problem for us because we keep the treadmill facing a wall. Slight inconvenience, so it loses one point for that.

Overall I would absolutely buy this machine again, it's a good buy.

I had an Ironman mat that was a bit shorter (6.5') but looked the same as the one in this picture. The review by CCody is my experience as well, this mat wont stop heavy rubber off-gassing. This would be bad enough in normal circumstances, but add to it that you are potentially breathing very hard next to the mat (you are exercising) and it is not going to work at all. I went so far as to leave this mat outside for two weeks, but this did no good. The off-gassing continues, I'm sending it back.

My guess is that 80% of us who buy treadmills use them 10 times or so, then use them as a laundry rack thereafter. Another 15% of us use them until they break, but never think about maintenance.

This package is a good deal if you are in the last 5% - the people who use their treadmill and are willing to tune it up every few months. If so, good for you. Your body and your treadmill will both thank you.

This kit has five parts:

1) A compressed air can that is handy for blowing dust out of the hard-to-reach areas of the treadmill.

2) Belt cleaner to clean off the walking belt. (Enough for four cleanings).

3) 2 doses of lube to go between the walking belt and the unit.

4) Some "belt dressing" to clean off and condition the drive belt, inside the unit.

5) A basic but clear manual explaining how and when to use the other items.

I used my treadmill for about a year, until it started to develop a severe squeak, then figured I would try this kit. Cleaning the treadmill and lubricating the two belts has helped a lot, and the squeak has been gone for the last several weeks. Now that I have seen this kit, I wish that I had thought about maintaining my treadmill *before* it started to give me problems, but so far, so good.

Also, the seller, TreadmillDoctor is just a great company. If you have questions about maintaining or repairing your treadmill, I strongly recommend that you check out their site and e-mail them before calling in a repairperson. I was very glad that *I* did.

This is a unique product that is well priced and ideal to round out your home gym. It arrived as promised and was easy to assemble. The LCD has one bad pixel and I immediately went to the manufacturer's website to register my tv and request an exchange on the LCD. That was over three weeks ago and no response from the manufacturer. I would give this five stars if it had reasoanble warranty service.

I ordered this item from Amazon which was delivered in 2 days! I was lost without using my treadmill, because I did not know that I had to lubricate it after a certain period of time. This item was easy to use, and a bottle was included instead of individual applications. It worked
great and it was easy to handle. Now I know that I have to lubricate my treadmill every month or after 30 hours of usage.

The treadmill belt was delivered in a timely fashion. However, it was not cut evenly. It contained very confusing instructions.

The mat is very good quality and reasonably priced. I bought it for my treadmill and it supports it well. I have only had it a few weeks so I don't know how durable it is but so far it is holding up well. Also, I have a light manual treadmill. Again, not sure how well this mat will support bigger, heavier treadmills.

I installed the belt on my old Lifestyler 850 Expanse, and it fits just right! Now, instead of having to $1000 or more for a new treadmill, I only paid about $80 for the belt. Instruction could have been better, but I don't really have a complain.

I purchased this mat to use on a carpeted floor, under my Schwinn 430 Elliptical. I'm very happy with it. I was afraid that the vinyl might tear or become stretched and misshapen from the weight of the machine, but it is thicker and more durable than I expected -- it feels like heavy rubber. I was also worried that this mat might have an unpleasant odor, but no problem with that either. Finally, since I have it on a white carpet, I check frequently to make sure it hasn't stained or discolored the carpet; again, no issues. In conclusion, this is a fine product for the price and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to protect their floor from the weight of the machine, and their exercise machine from dust and static.

I'm still using it, which I guess is the best one can hope. It had a small learning curve to get the desired workout, but I can get my breathing up quickly, and then work easier to maintain breath rate. I recommend the thing. Of course, its only for walking.

I loved the idea of this product and my girls (3 & 5) love to workout with me so I thought this was a perfect gift. I was so wrong! The bar on the front of the treadmill is so far down that the girls have to bend over to reach it, which means that can not stand upright to walk on the treadmill. Even if the could stand up the tread is so difficult to move that walking on it is impossible. This is not worth any mony at all...Having said that the First Fitness bike is great.

This stuff has a very strong smell -- like WD-40 or something. If you can stand the smell, you might as well buy a can at the local hardware store -- at least then you'd probably get a little straw that could be used to spray it under the center of your treadmill belt.

I bought this stuff because I thought it would be odorless, like all other treadmill lubricant I've bought. But it isn't odorless. It really stinks. I don't like that permeating smell in my house, especially in my workout room.

I recommend the LifeSpan 100% silicone lubricant. It's a little pricier for the quantity you receive, but it's the good (odorless) stuff.

Yes it is a bit heavy to move - but I moved it infrequently. Worked great until the wiring came loose and got caught in the folding mechism cut through wire and circutry will cost more than its value to fix.
Buy Phoenix 98007 Easy-Up Motorized Treadmill!

Product was delivered with extreme efficiency - even sooner than I had expected, based on Amazon's delivery window estimate. I've been using the new walking belt on my treadmill for a couple weeks now. It's better than new (in the sense that I bought my machine used, and this is the first time the belt was changed.) It's nice that this product comes pre-lubricated, with a recommendation to apply the provided tube of lubricant after about 6 months of use. If the original owner had been as diligent about properly maintaining the belt, I might not have had to replace it yet. My only complaint about this product was in the instructions provided for removing my old belt and installing this one. They do provide several sets of instructions based upon what type of treadmill you have, but I still found that the most appropriate set for my machine was a little vague. Some more easily interpretable diagrams would have been nice. I ended up getting stuck about halfway through removal of the original belt because I couldn't locate a part on the machine that was referred to. At that point I just decide to `wing it', as far as getting the belt off. Then, having abandoned the instructions, I basically reversed my steps to get the new one on. After some minor adjustment to the tension, it works like a charm. Overall, I'm happy - with the product and the service.

I bought this item a year ago. I liked the sturdy design and the advanced console. We use it mainly for morning excercise for approx 2 hours every day (6 - 8 miles a day). I have no problem with the actual treadmill itself but the "advanced" console is becoming a real issue. I called Life Fitness and had to replace the console. Reason: HR was going on and off and sometimes showing 50 HR a minute while running? I am not that fit to have such a low HR. This can potentially be very dangerous as you will be running and the HR is showing 120 while in fact you are at 170 HR per minute. The service person came, aknowledged the problem and requested a new console which was installed 3 months ago. This one seemed to be more reliable for a while but I have now the same issues as a few months ago. HR going on and off. I am walking at 3.5 miles an hours with an incline of 4 and after while my HR disappears and appers again every few seconds and showing the incorrect HR. So if I touch with my hands the sensors I am seeing the correct HR but I cannot reply on the wireless strap. By the way the batteries in the strap are new. The service person game me 3 straps and they all have the same issue so it must be the console. Since this is happening constantly I cannot use the Cardio exercise program. This treadmill is almost US$ 3000 and the console itself is US$ 700. I believe the console has definitively a design flaw with probably some cheap wireless sensors in it. I hope Life Fitness will finally acknowledge the problem and resolve it once for all.

It is a good idea but i think the carton is more valuable then its contents.
Didn't see any real improvement/benefit after use.
Over priced.
