" ... The ability for it to fold up is also useful and easy to do. ... "
" ... This treadmill was easy to assemble, folds nicely and works fine if I only want to walk 2.5 - 3 mph. ... The belt shifts to the right constantly, which is an easy fix however it has to be done after every 5-6 uses. ... Tighten the belt, loosen the belt, I even replaced the front roller and nothing has worked. ... "
" ... It weighs around 200 pounds. ... "
" ... Solid and big. ... "
" ... It folds so easily. ... "

" ... I have not even had this treadmill a year yet and the ifit program keeps crashing. ... "
" ... The error message was “Android recovery” and there was nothing that could be done. ... "
" ... IFit constantly tries to download an update, fails and reverts to the start. ... "
" ... I paid $400 extra to get the 10" screen and now the iFit software doesn't work to the point I can only do Manual workouts. ... When I first got the treadmill I tried the "Update Software" and while the file downloaded (584 MB) it failed during the install. ... However, that also reset the iFit software back to an older state and so when I re-downloaded the software this time it first pulled a 95 MB file then the 584 MB file after which I got the same issue - Failed to Install. ... Now I'm really furious because after the reset the iFit software would no longer run their workouts with the exception of the Manual one. ... Now I have a $1,054 treadmill ($400 of which is for the bigger screen) and I have to use Peloton app on my iPad over the iFit screen. ... "
" ... Both the website and the app are awful. ... Merely activating the device took several tries of creating accounts, deleting accounts, and calls to customer service going unanswered. ... "
" ... If the software is in a loop your machine doesn’t start. ... If you reach their support during the week they won’t tell you how to reset the software but suggest to “unplug the treadmill for a minor reset”, which won’t help. ... "
" ... I have had this treadmill for almost 2 years and I am always having to reset the tablet or fool around with the software. ... "

" ... Would cost $915 to repair frozen iFit screen. ... "
" ... The screen doesn't turn off, it is absolute garbage, not worth it even if it is free and they will pay you to use it. ... Unless display comes on you can’t run!!! ... "

After several hours of self-installing the incline did work, reached out to their IT and was advised that there was defective wire that was causing the incline not to work and to make matters worse since we assembled the machine on our own, we are responsible for replacing the defective wire ourselves. ... "
" ... After unboxing noticed that the upright wire was damaged(exposed wires). ... "
" ... so its 2022, and I had to move this thing, unfortunately the cables go into metal tubing that is inaccessible without fully disassembling. ... put the cord somewhere inaccessible, make the unit so awkward to transport the user has no other option but to take scissors to the cords so it fits out a door [standard size door] key word STANDARD, then hire someone to pick up the completely useless devise to the dump, incurring another 500.00. this is probably the most pathetically engineered thing I have ever encountered. ...
