" ... No broken parts although the box was a bit banged up and the bottom half of it was ripped almost in half. ... If I tighten the belt enough that it doesn't slip it rubs and feels sluggish. ... I wish I had not bought it, but can't send it back because the box fell apart and it's just to heavy to try and package. ... "
" ... It's very poorly constructed. ... One of the screws at the bottom won't go in cos the surrounding metal parts are not lined up correctly. ... "
" ... It also arrived with a broken plastic piece on the lower part of the treadmill. ... "
" ... scrapes on the back and a cracked surface plate . ... "
" ... Secondly, those 5 screws fit pretty tightly into the plastic mounts and feel like they might strip the head / threads if forced too much. ... Also, the screw/ holes that hold the latch for locking the deck upright are incompatible- either the holes are too small or the screws too large. ... I was completely unable to put that latch on without stripping the screw heads. ... "
" ... The connector is missing from the console wire and the foot rail is broken. ... "
" ... Upon examination it had fully cracked and spidered down the center. ... However , just over a month in and I have cracked deck. ... Nothing explains this except cheap material. ... "
" ... Just a terrible product, with extreamly cheap parts. ... "
