I purchased this treadmill for my wife after reading several positive reviews from 3rd party sites. Her hip and knee have been hurting her and she had to stop working out on our old 10 yr old $400 crappy treadmill. She wanted to workout but it just hurt too much. This treadmill is supposed to provide a high amount of cushioning that lessens the impact on joints, bones, etc.. Well, it really does! We were very surprised and pleased with how good it feels to walk or run on it. And she's been using it for several weeks now. She's experienced less pain throughout the day because she's been able to slowly build her muscles (which hold her hip in alignment).
I have always hated treadmills (because of the impact and joint discomfort it causes). But this treadmill rocks. It's very soft to run on (but not too soft). And it's made of high-quality parts that will last many years.
PROS:
- High level of cushion that really does reduce the impact of running
- Great Quality
- Great displays (shows your progress on a track and keeps count of your laps).
- Easy to put together, but is big and heavy
- Includes a wireless polar heart rate monitor that works
CONS:
- Too expensive, but I guess it's worth it if it lasts for 10 years
- The heart rate hand grips work for me (male with large hands), but do not pick up my wife's heart rate. Maybe her hands aren't sweaty enough?
- Motion sensitive speed controls are cool but not really useful because I accidentally active them. Thus, I keep them turned off.
Overall, we're very pleased and look forward to not becoming as large as cows are we get older.[...].
