What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Tread
across 5 reviews
3.0/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Speed and incline knobs are intuitive and easier to operate mid-workout than traditional buttons
  • Open front design eliminates the motor cover collision issue common on standard treadmills
  • Interactive classes with high-quality instructors create motivation that outdoor running lacks
Reviewers push back
  • Does not fold for storage despite compact design; must be wheeled as a single 290-pound unit
  • Frame wobbles and lacks stability during running, especially at incline, due to design flaw where front wheels move to create angle
  • Incline maxes at 12.5 percent with no decline capability, limiting training versatility compared to competitors
Usually when a company screws up this badly it's because they have a bad product. That's not quite the case with Peloton.
The Verge · best for Peloton devotees who already subscribe and want daily interactive classes with minimal space requirements will appreciate the design and ecosystem integration.

Some reviewers find the knobs perfectly functional while others note they lack tactile feedback and require back-and-forth adjustment to hit precise speeds

I gave this 3 stars because it works well for my SO who just walks on it. It has great stability and for the right person I am sure they could give it 5 stars. What I missed that would have stopped me from buying it is that the numbers for the speeds skip 4, 6 and 8 which are the speeds I use most often. There is a 12 MPH though which I am sure the average person doesn't use. The inclines are also JOHN · scheels.com
