Occasional problems with treadmill not working on start-up, need to power re-cycle to clear the problem.

Reasonably happy but some teething troubles. The thread of one of the screws at the rear of the treadmill that controls the tightness and position of the mat on the base was completely disengaged and loose so the mat scuffed up when we first switched it on. Also we were not interested in signing up to iFit so cannot use Bluetooth Also the incline kept on going up to 10 when all we did was switch it on. We discovered that you need to press the ‘stop’ button 3 times when finishing up on the treadmill to erase the problem when reactivating the treadmill next time you want to use it. Nothing in the Guide discusses this problem. We assumed that you have to make sure that everything showing on the screen is returned to zero when finishing on the treadmill as failure to do this seemed to trigger the incline mechanism next time you switch on.

The treadmill itself is excellent quality. As good as any I've used in a gym. The software lets if down slightly on a couple of fronts. They are: 1) The built in programmes operate at a set speed / incline. There doesn't seem to be a way of ramping these up as you progress. You are left with the only option of manually hitting the speed / incline options you want.2) The Bluetooth connect tracking app is useless and costs. I downloaded it to see what it was about and it wouldn't run on any mobile (I tried 2) or any tablet (again I tried 2). 3) You can't set a timer, I like to run for say 30 minutes and vary the speed to see how far I can get. Not an option. So excellent hardware, annoying software. Worth it if you are happy hitting a few buttons occasionally.

Great machine.Used at least 3 times a week.Great for walking or running and the Bluetooth facility takes away the boredom.I signed up to IFit and Streetview availability is great. Had a problem setting up and Proform service were really fantastic at guiding me through and got back to me every time they promised to.I would highly recommend this machine if you have room as it is rather big.Apart from that I can’t fault it.

ok, so it once delivered it's heavy and takes time and 2 bods to build it. Consider it all part of your fitness programme. It's winter so best time of year for usage and whilst i have not explored the somewhat difficult to understand built in programmes, i have probably not given it enough brain space. This said i have used it 2 or 3 times in manual mode and have absolutely not complaints. The ability to plug in one's own device to play music watch content is a real boon and sure beats looking at the wall!
