Extra Savings

Good points

• you get both air fans and iPod plug in and playback capabilities on a sub $500 treadmill which is impressive considering the price
• as the belt is small (about as small as it can get), the normally weak motor is not as big of a problem although constant use and heavy pounding is still likely to be problematic

Bad points

• treadmill goes up to 10 mph but it's not a good idea because it'll either breakdown really quickly or the short belt will really prevent you from making full strides
• treadmill is flimsy at 135 lbs so if you're a male user, at least get a treadmill that's heavier than you (generally speaking) or you won't be able to enjoy a steady run
• expect the music speakers and fans to be somewhat cheap
• you'll probably outlast the warranty but not much longer than that

Comments

• Just not a whole lot of options below $600 these days so even though those this isn't exactly even a very good treadmill, it's still better than most of the other crap that sells for less than $600.
