I've tried an exercise bike before but found it awkward to store in our house so after some research I decided on a treadmill.
Firstly I was very impressed at how well packaged the treadmill was, large box but was in perfect condition on opening.
The treadmill came pretty much fully assembled, only had to screw in 4 feet into the bottom, attached the power cable and attached the device stand onto the handle.
Then all you need to do is lift the handle up and you're good to go.
The treadmill is really sturdy and well built, it definitely feels like it is built to last.
Having never used a treadmill before I was apprehensive about stepping onto it but it's so simple to work there was no need to worry.
Controls are either via the panel on the handle or with the included remote control. To be honest I found the panel on the handle easier to access as it's directly infront of you.
Turning the device on and pressing the start button starts the treadmill in the slowest mode, gradually increasing in speed every time you push the + button.
A lovely big display at the bottom on the treadmill constantly scrolls showing the speed setting, calories burnt and distance.
Something I didn't realise is that you must have the magnetic safety tag attached to the device in order for it to work, an error code showed on the display and after reading the manual it explains what this means.
There is a Bluetooth speaker built into the treadmill too so you can play music from your phone, but I haven't used this feature yet.
My plan is to use this daily but being a novice I will use it on the slower modes before I get up to running pace. I have tried all the speeds, including the fastest one which at the moment due to being unfit I couldn't do for more than 30 seconds! The great thing is that to slow down or stop you press a single "stop" button and the treadmill beings to immediately slow down gradually until it stops completely.
For storage the treadmill folds down (the handle) and on the bottom of it has small wheels so you can manoeuvre it easily to where you need it to be.
It's quite heavy but with the handle closed flat I am able to lift/carry it but to move it significantly you would probably want to do this with another person.
Overall for my very first treadmill I am extremely impressed. Well built, easy to use and great value.
I would definitely recommend this treadmill to anyone looking for a great way to get or keep fit.
