I wanted to buy a semi-commercial treadmill with an AC motor and a relatively high maximum body weight of the user. And this one seemed to fit into that profile. The price seemed reasonable to me, given its specifications. I have been using it every single day for nearly a month now, and my experience is good.
A few things that you should know:
• The machine is heavy. Nearly 110 kg. So you should have people to help you carry it to your room, especially if you live on any floor above the ground floor, and your building does not have an elevator.
• The user manual is pretty much trash. I have uploaded some pictures on how to assemble it. The set comes with the allen keys and a screwdriver, so you don't have to buy anything. But assembly may be a bit time-consuming and tiring.
• You will require a 16 A socket for this. The machine is rated 1 kW at 230 V, but using a smaller power cord may result in the cord or switch getting burnt.
• Lubricate it periodically to keep it running smoothly.
The specifications mentioned on the actual product, however, do not exactly match the description on the Amazon page. I'll list those:
• The Amazon page says that the maximum user weight is 180 kg. But the label on the machine says it's 150 kg.
• Amazon page says that the motor is 3 HP continuous and 6 HP peak. But the label on the motor says that it can go to 3.5 HP max.
• The machine does not have any feature of auto-lubrication, though the product description on Amazon says the opposite.
I am also facing an issue: the motor controller is making a very shrill, high-pitched noise as soon as the motor is turned on. And the shrill sound increases as the speed is increased.
I rated four stars based on the mismatches and the issue. Will update if anything changes later.
