Good points

• comes with coolaire workout fans console is clean and easy to use a step counter is installed on this treadmill (this feature is very uncommon for treadmills to have) motor is a good fit for the belt but only because the belt is sufficiently small (i.e big belt requires a big motor so a smaller belt is OK with a smaller motor)

Bad points

• there are parts warranty longer than the motor warranty on this treadmill; treadmills that have a short motor warranty is a big red flag treadbelt is longer and wider than the Image 15.0R but is still pathetic for a treadmill that sells for this price 6 personal trainer programs are a little on the short side incline is only at 10%
