I'm not sure why there seems to be some negativity about this treadmill. It works very well for the time I've had it thus far. I'm a runner and training for a marathon coming up with the weather being as it is currently I needed a cheap way to get in my miles without getting to the gym as I live rurally. I hunted around a lot before deciding to buy this treadmill and like many have stated this treadmill just simply beats the competition in this price range. When you start looking for auto incline, fancy screens, wide tread and depth, you realize that options become rather... narrow... when looking at sub 800 cost. Well, 800 isn't a bad price for an introductory treadmill but the reviews at that price were still rather wanting more. Things you want to take note of are the warranty, if the motor is warrantied for 30-90 days I'm guessing it's kind of expected to fail, thus I wanted a 1-year warranty on motor, board, and frame. Running boards can crack, motors die, and well most offer some really long warranty on a steel frame it does nothing for me if the motor has stopped working. This treadmill comes with a 1-year warranty, I purchased with an Amex with adds a complimentary 1-year warranty via American Express. So I'm well covered if this should decide to break down.

I also wanted to work on speed intervals, this machine allows this with a max speed of 6min miles (or 10mph), that's an 18:36min 5k for those looking for speed. Unless you're beating that (which maybe you are) then get a machine that can handle 14mph or more.

Pros:

• 2.25hp Motor with a 1-year warranty
• Wide running board
• Long-running board
• Lack of gadgets to break
• Adjustable to the minimum height needed to facilitate outdoor running. (Just adjust it to max incline)
• Large capacity 235lbs support (I feel the more it can support the higher impact I can have, thankfully I'm nowhere near this max weight)
• 10Mph Max speed (6min miles)
• Sturdy, weighs 128lbs, steel frame construction
• It folds up (I don't bother with this)
• Minimal setup and packaging waste.

Cons:

• Lack of automatic power off (you've got to hit a switch on the back)
• Oil well for lubricant is a bit of a pain to get to
• The biggest con, and it's why I took off a star, the incline just sucks... I mean they could have easily added an extra 2-3inches and made it better. I'm even fine without it being "auto" but seriously how hard could it have been to add another 2-3inches...
• It could use a bottle holder. Seriously? No water bottle holder? I added a bike mount to the bar, problem solved.

A bit more about the usage of this machine.
I run about 6-8 miles a day. I use the machine for about an hour and my wife uses it for 30min. It gets in the winter a solid 1hr 30min a day and sometimes more. It does not seem to overheat, I've run barefoot and shoed, both are about the same. Running board has some nice cushioning (or it seems). I'll update later on how long it lasts.

How to Assembly XTERRA Fitness TR150 Folding Treadmill
The assembly consists of 5 basic steps:

2. Slide frame upright tubes onto base, connect console wire.
3. Attach 2 frame upright tubes to base with bolts provided.

It is relatively simple to put together, but we do suggest you have someone assist since the carton is heavy and so are a few of the main parts.
