I am very glad I bought this treadmill. I am 77 so I was looking for something that I was going to feel safe using. Has a lot of safety features and is very quiet. I watch treadmill videos on YouTube while using it so it makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Highly recommend it for any senior who is looking for a treadmill where safety is the priority.

First off, i was pleasantly surprised that it arrived 4 days early, it was easy to put together. Im one of those people that never reads instructions i just look at the picture and get to work. It took about 45mins to an hour. I love the fact that the console does not need batteries. The unit is compact and doesn't require alot of space that is another plus. Im 5'11 the handrails are at a great height. Because of my mobility issues the incline seems to be at a comfortable height. So far so good! Only 4 stars for now. I will be back in about two weeks to provide an update.

I'm a senior, who needs to get a little more exersize, I wanted something simple, easy to assemble, and small in case I have to move it. This fit all my qualifications, including balance bars. It's so easy to program, and use. The only problem I had, it took me 4 hours to assemble it, I had to use a magnifying glass because print on instructions and illustration was so small. They need to make them larger.

Has many useful features but lacking incline feature. Harder to assemble than anticipated. Manual is typical but could be a lot better. Had to turn to internet for clearer directions. The long rails are very helpful for hip injuries. The easy to use controls and heart rate monitor are very much appreciated. Has small footprint for crowded living quarters was a major consideration. If it holds up it will be a very useful exercise addition.

Edit: I purchased this for my wife who had hip surgery but I used it myself to acquaint myself with all its functions. As I have said this is not a professional treadmill. But that is not its purpose. It is a WALKING treadmill. The footprint is small which was very important as our available room is limited. So far as I can see it should give a long life of service in its intended purpose. Tonight I read the manual and the mode control is very useful. For example, say you want to walk for 10 minutes, or 20 calories or 1 mile or whatever, you can set the mode control and when the desired goal is reached, the machine slows down and stops. Very useful. Although I regard myself as highly fit, I can discern a very definite exercise result.

In the assembly procedure I dropped a screw that required the front cover to be removed. All that is required is to loosen the screws to clear the screws and the cover lifts off. It is unnecessary to unscrew the screws all the way out. The circuit board and the electric motor are readily accessible. The handrails are sturdy and absolutely needed for someone with a hip injury.

When I wrote my initial review I said the assembly was more difficult than expected. The most difficult part was locating the screw holes in the front rail. To "eyeball" them upside down is quite difficult. It would be best to have a center punch to locate them. Trying to feel the screw holes upside down would otherwise be very difficult and frustrating.

All in all it was what I needed to get and the starting speed is .5 miles per hour. Many start at 1.0 mph and that is too fast for a patient starting out. So be sure to make that a priority in searching for a walking treadmill.

I would give it 4.5 stars because of the difficulty of locating the screw holes in the top rails.
