Got ours about 3 weeks ago and my fiancee and I love it. We use it everyday for 1 to 2 hours each and it's quiet enough to watch television while we do so.
I would have given it 5 stars, but putting it together turned into more trouble than I thought it'd be. What should have taken 15 minutes took about an hour because some of the screws wouldn't line up and/or fit where they were supposed to. Other than that, it's awesome. Looked at some cheaper and a lot that cost more, and this one is by far the most bang for your buck.
I read reviews for every treadmill I considered and all of the ones that checked your pulse said that they were never accurate. I checked out this one and it's accurate. However, if I squeeze the handles it gives me a rate much higher than what it actually is. Just resting my hands on the handles gives a very accurate reading.
All-in-all I couldn't be more satisfied. Delivery was early and it only takes up a small corner of the room it's in. The inclines and preset programs are our favorite features and the little fan puts out more air than I expected.
I've recommended this model to everyone I know that has mentioned wanting a treadmill.

This treadmill has all of the functions that I needed in a treadmill. It is fairly lightweight and now that it is assembled it is easy to fold up to add some space in our living room. If you are looking for a treadmill basically you need something that has varying speeds and varying inclines so you can change up your workouts- this has these things and is still sturdy enough. It is not as sturdy as a gym treadmill but for the price what can you expect. Buy this treadmill, it's cheap and it works.
No Major Issues - Be Prepared When The Delivery Arrives March 8, 2008

Not sure if I was lucky, but I actually setup the treadmill myself within a hour without any major issues. The treadmill is easy-to-use and I'm happy with it (average 8-12 miles a day).
However, here's couple of items to consider:
- Yes, the treadmill/shipping box is large and heavy, some people may need assistance moving the box especially if you have to move it up or down stairs.
- The shippers only deliver to your door, don't expect them to haul it to a special room.
-Chances are that the treadmill will be larger than you first expected, so have a backup location just in case.
-Walking to music/radio, be aware that the high-voltage plug may interfere with your am radio.
-Stop reading this and start walking - you'll walk faster and farther with a treadmill compared to your average walking exercise.
Good luck!
Great for walking, arrived fast. February 17, 2008

I walk at least 1 to 2 miles every morning on this machine and adjusting the incline gives me a decent cardio workout. It's quiet enough to listen to audiobooks on an mp3 player while walking, if that's a concern. I also walk outdoors once or twice a week, but this is a great supplement.
I wish the "increase" button for speed went up by quarters instead of halves (3 mph to 3.25 instead of 3.5), but that's minor.
The mat that goes underneath is a good idea, especially if you're using it on carpeting.
It was delivered to my front porch and I had to ask a neighbor (a fairly strong guy) to help me get it into the house. It's also a good idea to leave the straps intact on the box until you get it into the room where you will be using it.
