Love this treadmill! Must note that delivery man said he would not have delivered the box upstairs if I had needed that. Unless I paid extra. Freight company was ABF in Houston TX.

Great machine
It took some time before the treadmill was delivered however I cannot complain because the delivery was free. This machine is of very good quality and construction.

I bought it because Consumer Reports liked it.

Nice Buy!
Upon looking around the Bowflex seemed to be the best overall rated for home use. I was little skeptical on spending $1200 for a treadmill.
