Bad points

• small belt size will prevent most people from running comfortably on this treadmill
• although the programs are interesting and refreshing, there are only six of them
• the motor is only rated at 1.75CHP so exercises more intense than fast walking is not recommended
• incline only goes up to 10%

Comments

• $1000 is a lot of money to spend on something this old and outdated. Next.
