Sunny Health & FitnessPremium Foldable Treadmill for Home Workouts – Running & Walking Machine with Auto Incline, Shock Absorption, 16.5", 18", or 20” Running Deck, Compatible with Free SunnyFit App

I have literally read so many reviews of treadmills, and searched high and low until I found one that seemed would be a good fit for me.The Sunny Health brand beat the Proform and other local store brands in reviews and in quality from what I found online. I also wanted a treadmill with a small footprint, so it could easily fit in my home, and something that I could both walk and run on. I also wanted an automatic incline, if affordable, to make things easier on me and prevent getting on and off the treadmill. This Sunny Health treadmill met all my requirements for an affordable price, and I'm truly happy I went with this one.When it comes in, let me say, please have two people ready. I am a 5'2, 100 pound female whose husband helped to get it over the threshold into the house and then I slid it across my floors to my six foot long nook. Total mistake. Reason? Because I didn't realize which end was which and I wanted this to face the patio door in my nook so I could look outside while on it. Another mistake? My nook is situated behind the couch with a wall opposite it, so I had a narrow space to work with and unboxing this thing took me a good hour and a half as my husband decided this was the best time to nap, and I refused to not woman up and have it put together when he woke up. I'm an idiot. LOL!This is so nicely packaged that there was no worry about the device having any damage, and I managed to lay it flat, and took a box cutter to cut the whole top off. I was doing a jig at this point because the treadmill looks fantastic and I knew I could get it out in ten minutes. Oh how wrong I was. The front of the device is HEAVY, and as someone who hasn't gone to the gym since I had my last child, my arm strength is lacking. I couldn't move it up an inch. What's more is that there are wood pieces holding this thing in place that are glued to the bottom of the packaging. I had to somehow pick it up to go over those humps. I struggled for an hour and a half until I got my two kids to step in the are of the box I managed to wiggle it out from for weight, and I then I picked up the non heavy end and "walked" the front over the humps. After finally getting it out, I did have to have one child hold the arms and top area of the treadmill up while I screwed the screws in. Once done, it was super easy to finish the set up, and I oiled under the treadmill mat, and was ready to turn it on. (side note, husband woke up, and helped me turn it around. With no wheels, it was a feat for me, not so much for his 6'2 self).After I let it run for a minute to oil the mat up, I was ready to roll! There is an on switch on the bottom front of the device, and from there the controls light up. The handles do have the up/down for incline on the left and the up/down for speed on the right. They also have a pulse reader on the handles, but I don't find it works well at all, and sometimes I get a little static shock on the left handle as an FYI. The face of the device has your start and stop, your time, quick buttons for speed in two increments (2 mph, 4, 6, 8 mph), has incline quick buttons, and music buttons on top that I don't use at all. There is also a magnetized latch that magnetizes in the middle of the treadmill at the bottom, and the clamp goes on you just in case you fall. The magnet is wrenched off, and it does stop immediately!In use, this treadmill does have a soft landing feature, which means when it's up you have to use your foot to push the pole in the middle, and the treadmill mat will start extremely slowly lowering. I have no fear of it being pushed and one of my kids trapped beneath it as it's like watching paint dry for it to fully lower. I did purchase four thick pads off of Amazon, and I have two under the front edges, and when it lowers, I bend down and wait for it the end edges to almost touch the floor before sliding them beneath so my floor is protected. I do find I have to really push this lever to get it to go down, but that could just be me as my husband was watching me flounder, and stepped on it, and it immediately started going down.Again, I'm only 5'2, so my stride is short and I walk normally anywhere from 3 to 3.7 mph. Jogging on this is at a 4-4.5 mph, and 5 mph is my max limit currently for my short legs. I was afraid this would be too slow for me to run on, but no way! I could do a full sprint and still not be on 8 mph which is the max. It runs smooth, but when I run, because I am in a nook area, my steps do echo to me. I have had treadmills before and I don't feel this is any louder than those. This is also in my living room, so when I am on it, my husband tends to put on his headset to listen to the tv and drown out my footfalls. The max weight on this is 240, and my husband tops out at 240-245 so he hasn't tried to go on it yet. I will update if he does to see how well it worked with him on it.In all, I love this treadmill and it's smallness, the buttons are amazing and work great, it's a smooth surface to run or walk on, and super easy to put together. I love the soft close and how easy it is to pick the treadmill surface up. The incline is smooth also, and gives a great workout. The only issues I could nitpick at is trying to get it out of the box on my own, and I wish the screen was a lot taller. It does have a phone holder, but then I have to look down to view it, and some other treadmills I saw had a raised top area so you're looking at height level as there was a phone holder on the very top of it. I thought about putting a small magnet on my door so my phone could magnetize to it and it would be height level for me. So if you're taller than 5'2, you'd definitely be looking straight down to watch anything and after a time that does strain your neck. Again, that's my only would be issues that very nitpicking. Otherwise I love this treadmill, and do recommend it!

This is a great treadmill. I have been using this treadmill for over 4 months now, at least 2 times a week around 5 to 6 mph at a 3% incline for over 30 minutes each session and it is holding up great. (I am around 175 lbs for reference)I've used the incline feature to its max capacity (12%) for over half an hour at 3.5 mph, and I have ran at the max speed (8mph) for 15 or more minutes a few times. I have also done 4 or more hours of cardio on the treadmill over the span of a week a few times and it handles it all well. I am not a marathon runner or an athlete, but for getting in cardio at a moments notice this treadmill does its job great. Make sure to hold onto the manual, it is well written and describes various neat features such as the programs.It was well packaged when it arrived, It came in a very large box and had foam and little pieces of wood supporting various places on the treadmill, and it only required a handful of screws to get it all together which I was able to do alone (I attached a picture of the materials list they provide in the manual). It is fairly light to move around, but you do have to get it nearly parallel with the ground to push it, which can make it difficult to get around corners or tight spaces. (I attached a picture of the manual's illustration of a someone moving the treadmill)Overall the treadmill does what I want it to and I feel confident it will last quite a long time at the level I use it, I highly recommend it to anyone who has looked at all the options on amazon and other sites at this price range.

The User Manual is of very little help in explaining the operation of the treadmill's Display Console and it should be corrected. "The Display Console" pictured in the User Manual fails to explain and depict the various keys which should be in color to assist in identifying them. It fails miserably as a "User" manual. One would think that owing to the outstanding quality of the treadmill that the User Manual would offer the same quality but it seems like it was an afterthought because it is of very little help in understanding the machine's operation.I give it 4 stars because of inadequate information contained in the Users Manual.

I've been want to get a treadmill for a while but I was nervous because I'm a big guy (215lbs.) I was worried that I would feel like I was damaging it if I started a fast paced run but this thing is solid. It'll probably take me a while to go through all the settings and speeds but overall I'm extremely satisfied.

I love it. it works well and so far (2 month), I have absolutely no issues with the treadmill. Great price and good quality.

Works great at a decent price would recommend
