Great treadmill far exceeding my expectations. Build quality is excellent but does require two people to assemble. The running track is a good size and comfortable to use, I have not yet used all of the features on the console preferring to set my own manual settings but seems to be very straight forward to use. The treadmill is quiet big for use in the home so you will need to give some thought to where it will be stored/used but don't let this put you off, you wont find a better treadmill outside of the gym.

Very happy with this product. Easy to use, feels sturdy when you run on it, has a wide enough range of speeds and inclines to make you work up a sweat! You definitely need 2 people to put it together - this is not a criticism, but it's because it is well made and therefore heavy! I haven't tried the connectivity to the iFitness app (is that what its called?) I just use it to run for 30 - 45 minutes. I could probably get a lot more out of it if i did use the app. The speakers are a good enough level of quality to make them worthwhile. This is my first treadmill and it feels as if I will get many years use out of it

Good belt width and quiet whilst in use. Good basic clear controls with good transition between speeds.

I did a lot of research before buying this model. I run an eight minute mile and run several 10km races for enjoyment, but don't enjoy running in the rain. This along with dark mornings/evenings was the reason for buying one. I am really pleased with it. I haven't used the ifit capability yet, but am more than happy with the programmes it has. I used a running machine at the gym and this gives me the same workout. You can either pick a quick speed and incline or choose calories over a period of time and it sets a run for your weight. Brilliant. A full workout which will push you. It is the same as the random mode on a much more expensive gym machine. I also like the full running deck and the fact it folds for space saving.

Reliable treadmill with digital settings for adjusting the incline and speed (allows increment adjustments for both) plus extra settings for workouts and Ifit. The sound system I haven't used it so far. It pairs with a heart strip (eg DKN) and you can monitor your HR, speed, incline, calories, distance/track on same time. It does not show cadence or stride. The running area is wide, has good adherence with excellent shock absorption, downside was noted when running at high speeds it almost kinked a couple of times which was not funny, nevertheless nothing happened and I continued running with no problems. It required some DW40 after 2 weeks. It is pretty noisy when you go fast with incline more than 6%. It stayed solid after a good use for last 40 days, and it stands abuse for 1 hour easily. I think the value for money is brilliant especially if you plan to use it intensely during winter time.

I have only had the product for a month, but it seems very sturdy. It takes some effort to assemble and the top screws that fix the console don't line up properly, but the console appears to be well secured by other fittings. The machine is very quite although the belt has developed a squeak at certain usage rates. The suspension is not as soft as I had hoped. I have knee problems which is why I stopped road jogging. The running surface is very sizeable when compared with other home treadmills. I have not used the preset programs, but it would have been useful to be able to define your own programs. The manual speed and incline settings are very good. Overall, I would recommend this treadmill, but time will tell how robust it really is.
