    Recall notice

    In June 2022, Nautilus recalled this T616 folding treadmill because it can start on its own, posing a fall hazard to a user.  The treadmills were sold at Best Buy, Walmart and other stores nationwide and online through Nautilus and Amazon from April 2021 through November 2021.  If you own this treadmill, you should immediately stop using it and contact Nautilus to receive a free USB flash drive with a software upgrade and installation instructions.  Nautilus has received 21 reports of the treadmills self-starting with no injuries.

    Detailed Test Results

    Controls: The incremental, speed-control buttons are oriented as expected with the increase button on the top or right-hand side. They are positioned appropriately being right next to one another. The button size is considered excellent, making it easy to operate while exercising. An alternative set of quick speed-controls provide the ability to select every-other, whole-number speed, using a limited set of control buttons. The incremental, incline-control buttons are oriented as expected with the increase button on the top or right-hand side. They are positioned appropriately, being adjacent to one another. The button size is considered excellent, making it easy to operate while exercising. An alternative set of quick incline-controls provide the ability to select a few, whole-number inclines using a limited set of control buttons. Display: The monitor displays white characters on a blue colored background. The size of the characters showing the "speed" is considered fair and the size of the characters showing "incline" is considered fair. All exercise statistics are presented in the same physical window. Programs: This machine comes equipped with 17 built-in exercise programs. A list of programs is convenienty shown on the console. A graphical illustration of each program's exercise profile is shown on the console. Ergonomics: The step-up height to the running deck is 9.5 inches from the floor. This machine has a front handgrip, which provides less grip area than a full handrail. A partial side-handrail provides both security and easy access. Exercise: The minimum incline for this machine is 1.6 percent. The maximum incline is 15.3 percent. The manufacturer-stated, top speed is 12 mph. A top speed of 12.2 mph was measured. Construction: This machine features a motor with a 3 hp rating. The 4 floor-levelers provide maximum leveling capability. Performance on our durability test - simulating a half-year of usage - was excellent, showing little signs of wear. Safety: The "stop" button size was considered fair. The plastic tang style safety-key disengaged without issue when a user approached the end of the running belt, which stopped the motor and running belt as expected. After the safety key was removed from its receptacle, the running belt coasted to a stop from a speed of 6 mph, in 3.7 seconds. The average stopping time for all tested treadmills is 5.7 seconds. When walking within reach of the control console, the motor housing which resides at the front of the running belt, created frequent interference with a user's feet.
