Mixed reviews

What they praise

  • Exceptionally sturdy steel frame with triangulated uprights makes the console rock-solid with no screen wobble
  • Twenty percent incline and negative five percent decline—highest range of any folding treadmill
  • Large twenty-two inch wide by sixty inch long deck provides ample space for runners of any height or stride
  • Powerful four-horsepower motor runs quietly and handles heavy use and multiple users
  • Four hundred pound weight capacity exceeds typical industry standard

What they knock

  • Weighs three hundred thirty-six pounds and requires permanent placement—difficult to move even with transport wheels
  • Deck cushioning is firm underfoot and may not suit users with joint issues
  • Journey subscription service required to access streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu on the touchscreen
  • Takes two to three hours to assemble and professional assembly is recommended
