Worth the effort of getting out of the box!
I have arthritis in both hips and lower back and, worried about falling or being unable to get back home, I don't go on walks outside so I bought this treadmill so I could exercise at home in safety and stop as soon as I needed to. The machine arrived much earlier than advised, within 2 days and the driver kindly carried it up my steps and into the hall. It is heavier than I expected but I managed to get the box into the kitchen and flat on the floor. Biggest problem was getting it out of the box on my own. I eventually opened the end of the box and pushed it out with my foot, the wheels at the top end made this a bit easier to do. Once unpacked the next problem was switching it on. After much pressing and prodding, there is a label on the top panel saying "remove this label and press start" so I did, but there is no button anywhere on the top panel. I went to the reviews and QA on Amazon and found the switch was located at the right hand side, so carried out the random pressing once again, to no avail. I eventually read the sticker on the side of the machine by photographing it and realised the start stop button is located next to the electrical wire, UNDERNEATH the right hand side. Power on at last!! I was a bit nervous and only managed 5 minutes the first time at a very slow pace but am building confidence. I have only increased to 10 minutes after 4 sessions at 2.5kph but this really is good as I am slowly building up strength and will continue until I can walk confidently again. I am really pleased with the machine, it is quiet and runs very smoothly. I do have to hold on to the work top on one side and a chair on the other as I have to take some weight off my hips onto my arms at the moment but each time I walk, I go a little bit further for a little bit longer. Really happy with my purchase so far. If anything changes, I will update.

As advertised! It is not too good to be true!
The media could not be loaded. I absolutely love this treadmill/ walking machine! I use it multiple times a day. Walking on speed 4-5 when watching TV and either walking with long steps or jogging with short steps on speed 6 for a workout, which does get me to sweat!When I use speed 6, music to the rhythm does help! I connect to the Bluetooth speakers of the treadmill and blast the volume! I couldn’t show that as I used my phone to record the video. This is absolutely worth every penny, it came fast even though I live on the Isle of Skye! It’s compact, stylish and easy to move when I am vacuuming (otherwise it has a permanent spot in front of the TV due to me using it multiple times a day)I do think that the calorie count is slightly off when you are using the higher speeds but that is the least of my problems as I have apps and a wristwatch for that!Highly recommend this product!! Very very highly!!

Works fine
I got this to go under a standing desk, so I can walk while I work. I'd prefer a bit more control over the lower speeds. Slowest is 1Km/hr - which is quite slow, even for walking, but 0.5 would be better for my purposes, as even 1km/hr makes fine work more difficult. I guess for some people the max speed of 6km/hr might be an issue, but I find it's gives a pretty good workout when used that way. Funny little infra-red controller seems to work fine and I was able to clone its commands (on, off, faster, slower) to a One-for-all universal TV remote. As a bonus it has a reasonably loud bluetooth speaker if that's useful to you. There are rollers at the front, which make it easier to move. Not having handles seems no problem at all, though it is possible to get confused getting off it and end up on the floor - it's just a matter of not getting confused about what is stationary and what's not. All in all a really good purchase

Nice bit of kit for power walking
After looking at many different Treadmills decided to take the gamble on this. Ideally to manage expectations the maximum speed level 6 is a fast walk or very slow jog so if your expecting to run on this I would say this isn't for you. More of a power walking, walking or slow walking machine. Does what it's needs to do. I work mainly from home so use the treadmill to get my steps in during the day and also to warm up before playing football. I don't find the treadmill too heavy and managed to move it to where I needed with no problem however so people may struggle. It is a sturdy bit of kit and so far no problems. Slight bug as feel the remote control something is a little unresponsive but this is only a minor flaw. Would highly recommend but if your looking to run on it would advise looking at different treadmills.

It does the job but be careful
It is a good walking pad and can be stored away easily. Couple of things, after around 25 min walk can smell slight burning smell. Secondly the belt it suddenly slips which can be quite scary. I keep and chair or something hand height so just incase there’s a little wobble I can hold on. But it good for recovery (I can’t use stairs often due to my back pain so I use this to get some walk in the day) the slowest pace is perfect for someone starting to walk after recovery or in pain. Again keep something next to you to hold on to just incase you lose balance. I am pleased with it and I managed to purchase when the Amazon prime sale weekend and received vouchers off this.
