Comment:
Bought this through a great deal on Amazon. This is the first treadmill we have ever owned, but wanted something that was easy to use and would last a long time. We are not runners even though this is supposed to be excellent for running. I use it almost daily each morning to walk for 30-45 minutes. I am just beginning so maybe eventually I will run on it. My daughter in law did use it during the holidays...as she is a daily runner. She said it was much quieter than the one she owns and very easy to use as well. I think the only complaint I might have is that it won't allow me to enter my age/weight/height without logging into the online tools and setting up things there. I plan to do that, but wish I could set it up on the machine for all of these. Currently will only allow weight I think. Then it calculates calories used, heart rate, etc...which all work great but the information I enter is only weight...so not sure how accurate that all is based on that stat alone.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
We have the TR3000,which is very similar, but shorter and smaller motor. We have itin our basement, and love it. Very sturdy. Love that it folds, though rarely use that feature. My husband uses the chest monitor. I love the built in speakers and place my iPad on the monitor to use while walking and running. Taller folks may want the linger bed, but we are fine with the shorter one. Highly recommend. We bought from a local shop who delivered it assembled,
