I was concerned that this treadmill would feel flimsy or be noticeably shorter or narrower than standard treadmills, but it's a very good size for a nice full stride. I never feel like I'm shortening my stride because I'm out of track. I bought it so I wouldn't have to exercise at night in the dark or leave my daughter home while I exercise -- safety is worth $599! Tack on the free shipping and no tax, and this is a great deal.
When I saw the older woman moving it around with ease in the video I expected it to be lighter than it is. I'm 36 and in decent shape, and it's kind of heavy. It rolls easily, though, and unfolds easily also. It's just maneuvering it in tight places that is a bit tricky because of its size and weight. I have a very small bedroom taken up mostly by a queen bed. The treadmill does fit under my bed height-wise, but it sticks out length-wise about 3 inches because I can only fit it perpendicular to the way I sleep. If you're planning to put it under your bed, either have a king-size bed or make sure you can maneuver the treadmill so that it goes under the bed head to toe rather than perpendicular to the way you sleep.
The track took more adjustment than I was anticipating after loosening it to lubricate it. I'm still tweaking it after 10 uses to keep it in the middle (or close to it).
And like others, I can't get the heart rate monitor to work. But I don't really care about that.
All in all, this is a solid machine for my purposes -- daily walking in the safety of my very small home.Get more detail about Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill.
