Love My Treadmill5
We have this treadmill at school for our PE students so I figured it would be a good choice for me. It is easy to use and is very sturdy when walking or jogging. Other treadmills I see seem really cheaply made compared to this one. It weighs 300 pounds and is a commercial treadmill so it may not have the personalized user settings others may have. I am walking about 2 miles a day right now about 5 days a week and the impact on my joints and feet is so much better than walking in the park. This is a very long treadmill so if you daydream and lag a bit, you won't fall off the back. It seems like the quality and the warranty make it a good buy and Amazon had the best price. I would definitely recommend this one.

GREAT MACHINE5
TREDMILL CAME IN FAST AND NOT HARD TO INSTALL. MY WIFE LIKES IT AND THAT MADE MY LIFE PLEASENT.

Terrific treadmill 5
The Sole treadmills have been very highly rated by many sites. I discovered this fact during extensive research I conducted when I decided to set up a "work out" room. I wanted to buy quality equipment but not pay premium prices just for a brand name. Sole treadmills sounded like the best "bang" for the buck. I got the F83 because I wanted a folding model. The F85 is their top of the line, but I'm the only one who'll be using it, so I felt I probably didn't need the bigger motor (3.5hp compared to 3.0 in the f83) for my purposes (I am by no means a runner). Now, I ordered mine directly from the Sole website, but for the same price that I found on Amazon. It is shipped by a common freight carrier. I ordered it at the end of October. It was just delivered yesterday, so I waited nearly one month to get it.

I'd like to point out that anything you order that is the size of this treadmill will almost certainly come via a freight carrier. Which means it will take a long time. Now, I paid extra to have them take it off the back of the truck and carry it into my house. The delivery was a nightmare, as they came over 6.5 hours late and were reluctant to drive their semi into my neighborhood....but that is not the fault of the manufacturer. It's just that one doesn't get to choose a freight carrier and it's not like I could pop over to a post office and pick the thing up myself. It's massive. Anyway, it comes in a very, very large box. The deck with the belt is already assembled. You just have to attach the two arms that extend up, attach the computer console and finally the bar across the middle that the drink holder sits onto. Really pretty simple assembly, except that the treadmill is very heavy so be sure to assemble it somewhere where you have plenty of room to maneuver around it.

Once assembled, it's a nice piece of equipment. I played with the speed and incline. It's very smooth and pretty quiet. It has two fans that you can tilt around at the top of the console, though they aren't strong enough to really cool you down. It comes with a chest belt for heart monitoring. I have a polar watch, so I was wearing a polar transmitter and it picks it up too. I haven't tried all the programs, but the manual goes through them all and is fairly helpful. When you're ready to stop, you press the stop button and the incline lowers and the belt slows down gradually for you...it's nice not dealing with an abrupt stop that might catch you off guard. Folding/unfolding is really easy. You lift up the deck at the back..it's not very heavy to do..and it locks in place. To unfold it, you push the tread deck forward with your left hand and use your right to pull a lever. It does not crash down...there is a self lowering process that gently lets the deck down. I'll get some pictures of mine up in a few days. I'll update in a few weeks after using it for some time. But so far I'm very pleased with it.

Update:1/1/09
Well, I've been working out now since around November 1st. I have a bike, elliptical and this treadmill. Since I started my program I've lost 30 pounds. I was totally out of shape at the beginning. I still have a ways to go, but really enjoy my cardio workouts. I use the treadmill every 2 to 3 days; I find my joints do better with the non weight-bearing equipment for daily use. This treadmill is really terrific though. I typically do a manual program and change the speed and incline to keep my heartrate where I want it. I have done the "fatburner" program once and the HR controlled program once. I just like being the one to control what I'm doing. I love using the fans on my face. The pockets on the console (one on left, one on right) hold a lot of stuff, including water bottles and remotes. I don't have an MP3 player, so I've not used that feature. This treadmill has definitely met my expectations and I really love it. I expect I'll use it more and more as I continue to lose weight and become more fit. I've done some very light jogging on it and feel it is very comfortable. I'm very pleased with my purchase and continue to feel it is a "5 star" product.

The Reviews Are Right! Highly Recommended!5
This is a great treadmill! It just arrived two days ago and I'm very impressed with the build quality. The motor is smooth and the display looks sleek! It's also very solid and quiet. There's no difference running on this this treadmill vs. the $5000+ treadmill at the gym.

One thing, if you are 5'10" or shorter, go ahead and save some money by purchasing the F80. The deck on the F83 is a few inches longer but it really isn't worth the money - unless you are 6' or taller. I ran full stride on it and there was plenty of room behind me.

Great Treadmill with minor kinks5
First of all, this is a great treadmill. It looks great, rock solid when running, very quiet and with just perfect amount of cushioning (gotta believe that it has 40% less impact on joints than running on asphalt).

I actually ordered F80 directly from Sole Fitness. I was trying to decide between F63 and F80, but the better ('whisper') deck (which is really quieter than on F63), warranty, and larger motor made me choose F80. I was surprised to see F83 delivered instead. It was quite nice because I am over 6 ft tall and extra 3 in of the deck is quite good for me. The only other difference is the heart rate % on F83 console, which is not that important. Oh yeah, and F83 is a bit heavier.

Talking about weight, it IS heavy. However, I was able to move it with my friend from garage to the basement (unpacked, of course) with no problems. However, if we had to go upstairs instead of downstairs, it would be much harder. Assembly took about 45 minutes. Those clip nuts are really bad idea, but they worked. All holes aligned just fine. However, my treadmill wouldn't turn on. What a disappointment (read more on Customer Service below).
Now that it works, I love it. Very quiet, smooth. A huge motor which you don't even hear.

A couple of minor issues are:
1. Heart-rate programs HR1 and HR2, while turned on indicate the same thing that they are for weight loss even though HR2 is supposed to be Cardio. Not a big deal because of issue #2.

2. Heart Rate programs will never be used by me. I tried HR2 and I gave up after 5 minutes at speed of about 2 mph (and no, this is not the warm-up, which I bypassed). The programs are so careful as to not to overshoot your target heart rate that they start toooooooo slow for toooo long. On the other hand, using HR2 button as an Autopilot to keep you current heart rate constant worked just fine. So, if I want to use HR program, I would reach my target rate with another program or Manual and then press the Autopilot button.

3. I wish the unit had a couple of buttons to store user info such as age and weight for a couple of users, so you don't need to enter it every time. Although it does remember the previous value entered (you still need to press Enter after it shows it to you). Also, I wish it remembered the maximum speed for each program used in the previous runs just as with age/weight (I have to press UP button too many times each time I choose a program to select higher speed).

4. The console had a little crack at the bottom (under the STOP button) and the middle part of it was scratched (a lot of micro scratches) during shipping due to packaging - the console had to be wrapped with a plastic and it wasn't.

As for some of the complains with Sole treadmills about speakers and fans...the fans are not strong but still they are good for keeping your sweat from dripping all over the treadmill. I ran once without the fans and the sweat was all over. The speakers are not your home-theater-quality speakers. But they are fine to use for 30 minutes while running.

Now about my experience with Sole Technical support (or should I say Spirit Fitness, which actually makes these treadmills for Sole?). I got a call back the next day I reported the issue. The tech said that it is either the console or the harness that is defective. It was Friday and he said he would take it to the shipping warehouse and it would be shipped the same day. On Monday I called and he said it wasn't shipped and he didn't know why. However, he would not do anything else because he did his job: he took the package to the warehouse and his job was done. On Tuesday I called and he said "it seems to be shipped" but no tracking number. On Wednesday I called and he said "it WAS NOT shipped". So, I had to talk to his manager, who promised to find out and call back. Never called back, of course, just as the tech, whom I asked to call back with the tracking number. So, it was finally shipped on Thursday. However, as it turned out, my unit was not defective. One cable near the motor was disconnected (probably during the shipping) and I didn't notice it first when I looked for the problem there. The tech didn't even ask to look there. Anyway, I am glad I got the new console as it was not cracked or scratched as the original one that went back.

Great treadmill, loving it!5
I got my S77 about 2 months ago, and have used it constantly. It is quiet at anything under 10mph, changes speed and incline fairly quickly, and has quite a long running surface. I am 6'2" and 250lbs, and it has no problem handling me.

There are a few things to keep in mind when looking at the S77, though.

1. The fans blow, and I don't mean air. If you must have airflow, set a fan next to the treadmill and point it at yourself.

2. The speakers are not audiophile quality. They do, however, play music from an ipod, etc. just fine, and plenty loud. You are 15" away from them, it doesn't take much.

3. Hill mode is different than what I expected. It is not a bad thing, just different. On most gym treadmills, i.e. Star Trac, etc. you set a speed, and Hill mode adjusts the incline only. On the S77, you set the MAX speed, and the speed and incline are adjusted together, not always linearly. I ended up liking it better, actually.

As far as emulating normal Hill mode, it is quite easy. Set the program to Manual, choose your speed. Then, use the GIANT incline buttons to select your incline manually, changing it every so often. I am a clock watcher, so regular increments come easy for me, and I don't mind doing this myself.



TLDR - Great treadmill. Awesome treadmill. Consider it fanless, though.

OH YEAH! Yes, the assembly was quite easy. However, have a friend available to help you lug this around. Everything is light, except for the motor/running surface, where 95% of the weight resides.

Solid Performer5
I reviewed several treadmills in the $1500 - $3000 range and felt the Sole S77 at $1899 was the best solution for my needs. I weigh 190 pounds and run 5 to 7 miles five times per week on this treadmill. My wife and daughter also use the treadmill for walking and occassional runs.

We've only had the treadmill for 4 months but already have 800 miles logged on it. I have no complaints and think it's a solid performer... very sturdy deck, smooth tread, easy to use panel.

Two 'negative' comments about the S77... 1) as many already pointed out, the Sole treadmills are heavy and require two people. The driver brought it into my garage and from there (with my wife's help) I used my handtruck to move it into the basement where I have our exercise rooom. 2) The 'cooling' fans are useless. But I didn't buy it for the fans, so I don't care. The exercise room I finished already has ceiling fans, along with a floor standing model. So we have plenty of air flow.

The treadmill is right next to our Sole elliptical which we've had for 2 1/2 years (primarily used by my wife and daughter). This was another reason why I bought the treadmill from Sole because the elliptical is built the same way. Great machines that I know will last my family for many years.

Good, solid home treadmill5
Overall, this is a great product.

I'm glad I went with one of their larger models. The shorter running deck would have been a disappointment.

They deliver these things through one of those trucking services that just drop the box at the front door, and then you sign for it. (I was fortunate that the delivery guy helped me get it inside, but they are not required to do that. This is important because the box is HEAVY... no way one person could move it inside.)

Set up was very easy... someone has really thought this out.

The build quality for a home system, at this price, is very good. Don't expect a trend mill that you saw at the Four Seasons or the Ritz Carlton.

The speakers are pretty lame, but do the job for Podcasts, and Audiobooks. Music doesn't sound so good, but again, it's tolerable.

After much research, and for the price, I'm glad I ended up with the Sole S77.

Btw, I opted for this vs. a folding treadmill. After all, there's not much need for a folding treadmill. It's not like your space looks BETTER when you fold it up. And if you need to vacuum under it, it's easy to move.

Perfect for my needs5
I live in a downtown condo and wanted something compact to fit into my spare bedroom / office. I was looking at this unit which I bought and an Evolve treadmill. Both treadmill dimensions allow for under the bed storage or in my case under my futon which is what I was looking for. I also was looking for something that I could do some fairly consistent walking 3- 4 days at 20-30 minutes...I am not a jogger or runner (BTW I would not see this unit being ideal for real heavy running use). I was looking for a treadmill that I could use my iPod with which both units do. It came down to (2) factors for me why I picked the TR 200. The first is that my unit has incline which the other unit does not...I use the incline a lot to burn more calories and mix up my walks. What is really nice is since I change the incline often I use the buttons on the console that I can go to a specific incline. The second and not as important was that the motor size is a little bit bigger than the other compact units I looked at. The treadmill is 100% assembled in the box...I cut the back end of the box and rolled the treadmill out so I did not have to lift the treadmill out of the box. I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this treadmill for those limited on space or for walkers.

Bigger is not always better...5
I bought this treadmill and have it set up in my bedroom. I wanted a compact treadmill that I could keep in my bedroom so that it would not be "out of sight, out of mind"...the best part is that if I want I can fold the treadmill up and put it in my closet. Other things that I really enjoy with this treadmill is the console. It has the buttons that you can push that take you directly to the speed or incline that you want to be at. The console is easy to read and I like to watch my progress during my workout so the profile is nice, it is on the smaller side but is ample to show your status. It does come with program options but I have not used them yet as I just keep the treadmill in manual mode and adjust the speed and incline based on how I feel. The treadmill is very quiet and smooth when changing your mph's and it does allow you to make changes to a tenth of a mph. I typically am between 3-4 mph BUT note that this treadmill only goes up to 8 mph so if you need to go faster you should look at another treadmill.

Shipping information: the treadmill was delivered by ABF and I received a call 4 days after I ordered to schedule a delivery appointment. The treadmill was delivered to my garage and I had to get it in my house and upstairs into my bedroom. It really is as simple as this...take the box top off, remove the styrofoam and tear down the back of the box. Once this is done, you can lift the back of the treadmill and it rolls right out of the box and to where you want the treadmill. lift up the handlebars and lock them in, plug in the power cord, attach the safety key and push START...there is NO assembly whatsoever! AWESOME!

Other comments...the treadmill does have speakers and they are what they are---nothing spectacular but they work. I have a iHOME in my room but if I want to adjust the volume or change the song I have to get off the treadmill so it is easier to plug my iPod into the treadmill and you can place the iPod into the magazine rack. It does have a speaker jack but I don't see me ever using these but it is there. Contact pulse grips are nice and I hang my towel on the handlebars.

It fits us...and our budget5
I was looking for something that would not overtake our den and simply used for walking. (When we want it completely out of the way we have folded it flat and rolled it under the pool table.) We looked at the Evolve unit, Phoenix unit and utlimately decided on the TR 200 because it has incline and felt more comfortable with this brand with the online awards and reviews.

Their is no assembly which was great! We used a handtruck to get the unit down into the den --- SO I WOULD NOT GET ANY ADDITIONAL DELIVERY OR ASSEMBLY SERVICES. The speakers are just OK...sound is much better thru the headphones. The buttons to push to go to specific speeds and inclines are very nice.

Very pleased with this unit. It is very quiet and also we are very surprised how sturdy and stable the treadmill. Woudl recommend this for anyone looking for a good quality walking treadmill or if you are limited on space.

A Wonderful Treadmill5
After doing a ton of research on treadmills for months, this treadmill had everything I wanted. The number one feature which led me to this treadmill is the hand controls on the rails to increase and decrease speed and incline. You do not see a lot of treadmills with this feature. I am the kind of person that gets bored easily but not with this treadmill. The display is incredible and very well lit. Very quiet motor - I didn't even have to turn up the radio. Super smooth riding belt. I also love the 20X60 belt. What more can I say except it was money well spent! Sole - Thanks for the wonderful treadmill!

Tips To Buy Treadmill on Best prices

Find the best treadmill for your budget can be a chore. You should know what you are looking for the best buy in a treadmill. Studies have shown that more people are walking a treadmill to other fitness equipment as it is or execution. They are therefore more inclined to take it for longer each session and keep the device itself.

Price

You get what you, when it comes to pay treadmills, but for most of us, a treadmill is an important investment. When you shop on price, you need even more careful to choose the best in this price category. The price is usually in the budget ($ 500 to $ 1,500), Medium ($ 1,500 to $ 3,000) and quality ($ 3000 and then split). There are often great sales and discounts.

Sole F80 Treadmill

Treadmill Motor and Power

The case of the engine as the hard drive. The horsepower (hp) ratings can be confusing. The image that you want to see is a grade of "continuous service" and a shop from 1.5 to 2.5 HP "continuous duty". The "peak duty" rating is less valuable. The requirement of "treadmill "rating falls between continuous and peak. Look for the longest warranty on the engine - a minimum of 1 year. DC (direct current) motors are quieter.

Treadmill Stability and Smooth Ride

Test your treadmill training to wear shoes and clothing. A walk, staggering or jerky is not acceptable. Handrails must be strong enough, you'll feel in a good position to help grip easily and not block your arm motion. The belt must be wide enough and long enough for you only.

Sound and Space

The treadmill should be in your area. How is it noisy? If you want to watch television or listen to music, you should be able to listen on the treadmill. A model that appears in the store is small in an elephant in your room. Check the size or folded and stored, and test how easy it is to move.

Treadmill Manual treadmill vs. motorized

The difference in cost, many people tend to buy a manual treadmill instead of a motorized treadmill. The manual treadmills have many drawbacks, their motorized cousins. It is often difficult to move without an extreme slope, and if you can not change the incline. The low price often means less robust construction.

Folding vs. Non-Folding Treadmill


In recent years, significant improvements in design have broadened the models are similar to treadmills stationary. Look for stability, ease of folding, the payload, and how it is easy to move.

Real results, from a real user5
I have owned this treadmill since January of 2009. I normally don't write reviews on the internet, negative or positive, but I felt that I owed it to this company for the way they have changed my life.

There are alot of reviews, both negative and positive on this treadmill, but they are all written shortly after the treadmill is received. I will say that right out of the gate, I had an issue with some wires coming out of the wiring harness before we got the unit assembled. I was disappointed, and wanted to return the unit. My husband convinced me to let Sole try to remedy the situation first.

He contacted their tech support, and we were sent a wiring harness, which was installed by a very nice local repair man, and the unit was working perfectly within a week. After a few "I told you so's" from my husband, I got to use the machine, and I will never buy another brand again. The features are easy to use, the programs make sense, and I am within 10lbs of where I was when I graduated high school.

The machine is quieter than most on the market, and I love the backlit screen. I had looked at a model by Smooth that was comparably priced, but I didn't like the display. I didn't realize then how much I would have hated not having the screen backlit. It allows me to workout early in the morning, without turning on a bunch of lights, and still see my stats.

If you are serious about a treadmill, don't let the negative reviews fool you, and don't let the positive reviews sell you. Look at the specifications, and you will see, this treadmill really is in a class of it's own, and you won't regret the purchase.

Bowflex Series 7 vs. Sole F805
I owned a Bowflex Series 7 Treadmill for a couple of years. It was repaired several times after suffering mechanical and electrical problems, but never again ran properly. After disappointing customer service with Bowflex (Nautilus), I replaced it with a Sole F80. When comparing my ownership experience with both treadmills, I recommend the Sole F80.

Bowflex Series 7:
a. 20x60 running surface (better for tall runners)
b. 3.0 hp motor gets belt to full speed in about 2-3 sec
c. no countdown before belt begins to move
d. stylish console, but not as easy to use
e. no speed or incline controls on handles (only on console)
f. metallic handrails (causes static electricity shock)
g. must tip/lean treadmill backwards to move (dangerous!)
h. warranty: 10 yrs motor, 2 yrs electronics, only 1 year labor

Sole F80:
a. 20x55 running surface (good for most people)
b. 3.0 hp motor gets belt to full speed in about 6-8 sec
c. 3 sec countdown before belt begins to move
d. console not stylish, but functional and easy to use
e. speed and incline controls located on handles AND on console
f. hand rails covered with rubber compound for better grip
g. treadmill slides along ground without tipping or leaning
h. warranty: lifetime on motor, 5 yrs electronics, 2 years labor

Delivery of large box is supposed to be made inside front door or garage. Both times, I gave the delivery person a generous "tip" for their prompt delivery service, and both times the treadmill was generously brought down into my basement. Delivery drivers were quite pleasant both times.

Assembly for both treadmills was relatively easy and both treadmills took just under 2 hours to assemble (screwing in hand rails on BOTH treadmills can be tricky-need to make sure you don't puncture and/or pinch console wires!). All necessary tools were supplied for both.

The Bowflex Series 7 and Sole F80 both have powerful and quiet 3.0 hp motors.

The decks on both feel about the same when running/walking on them. Neither deck is "whisper quiet" when running on it. To me, the deck of the Bowflex Series 7 was slightly louder (a problem that became progressively worse during my ownership of the Bowflex Series 7). If you're a taller runner (over 6 feet tall) or run with a long stride, then the F80's deck may be a little too short for you (or course, Sole makes a longer treadmill for a few hundred dollars more). But for most of us who walk/jog/run on a treadmill, the Sole F80 is a very good size and fit.

I can see why hotels use the Sole F80 treadmill. First of all, the F80 has a much better warranty (about double of what Bowflex offers). Also, from a safety or "hotel liability" standpoint, the Sole F80's has better user-friendly features such as: (a) 3 sec countdown before belt begins to move (avoids surprises/injuries); (b) belt takes 6-8 sec to get to full speed (avoids surprises/injuries); (c) easy grip handles with rubber compound (remember: most people grab the handles when they get into trouble!); (d) speed/incline controls on console AND handles (really easy to use controls on handles when running or walking); and (e) no need to tip or lean treadmill backwards when moving (easy on your back, plus treadmill won't fall on you).

Had I done my homework the first time, I would have initially bought the Sole F80 instead of the Bowflex Series 7. Although the Bowflex Series 7 was highly recommended, it did not hold up well over time. If you are considering a folding treadmill for under $1,500.00, you should consider the Sole F80.

Good product. Great value. Great warranty.

Customer Reviews

Great machine5
I read consumer reports looking for the best treadmill for someone other than a serious distance runner. This was the recommended machine. Its a bit pricey and you do have to do assemble it when it arrives, but its a great machine. It even has a built in fan. One caution, make sure to assemble it in the room where you want it to be and don't expect to be able to move it between rooms because when assembled its too wide for standard doorways.

Very Happy with this Treadmill5
I have had this treadmill for a few weeks now and have been very happy with it. It's very sturdy and has a lot of features for a home treadmill. The comments I list below fall into the category of "just be prepared for" and mainly involve the delivery process.

One caveat I have is that this machine is *heavy*. My delivery guy brought it into my garage and despite my attempts to have him put it just inside a room off the garage, no dice. I had to have the help of a very strong guy to move the treadmill where I wanted it. The good news is that after that, it was a piece of cake to put together, involving about 30 big screws and took exactly an hour (probably could have taken even less time).

This treadmill is supposed to fold up, but I can't imagine ever using that feature -- for one, it's too heavy and two, it's so big it's not like you could really hide it anywhere. These are not complaints -- the fact that the machine is big and heavy translates into sturdiness and a larger running surface.

Finally, there's no instant gratification when you click the Purchase button online. Be prepared for this item to take up to a month to be delivered. It's worth the wait, though!

Good Buy5
This was a great purchase! I enjoy doing my workouts on a treadmill, but can't afford to buy a treadmill that costs several hundred dollars. The price was perfect, assembly was easy, and it is a great workout. You do have to work a little harder to get and keep the belt moving because it is a manual, but that makes the workout even better. It takes some practice to get used to the manual belt and to figure out how to keep your steps evenly paced, but after about 5 minutes you are into the groove. The size is nice, too. The treadmill folds up and stores nicely. The belt is the perfect size for my 5'6'' stride. My husband is 6'3'' but as long as he keeps the start of his stride at the very front of the belt, he can get a great workout, too. Obviously, I am very pleased with this purchase!


Wonderful for the price!5
I've had this treadmill for about 3-4 months now, and wow. It's great, easy to store and move and works well. I use it while watching TV in my bedroom. I've already lost 20lbs! If you don't feel like going to the gym that day, use this manual treadmill instead! It's a great price and a great product. I'm 24 and female and put the treadmill together on my own in about 30 minutes. Very nice product! Highly recommended!

Love it!!!5
I'm really happy with this treadmill. I can't tell the difference between this one and much more expensive models. It has preset routines, automated incline, pulse monitor, a cup holder. It's sturdy to walk on and absorbs impact for a cushy run. Runs smoothly and quietly. And has a lifetime warranty. And free shipping!

Great Product5
I've been in the fitness industry for over 10 years and have always been leary about buying a "cheap" home machine. This treadmill works great for home use. I was thoroughly impressed. I'm 230lbs and I can run on it with no problems! Great machine for the money!

Good for the money!4
I would have to say I researched buying a treadmill for some time and came upon this one for many reasons. 1. it was in my price range. I also saved $87 dollars on the shipping. As for shipment , it came fast and was in mint condition. Setup, was easy. This machine is a sturdy piece of equipment. Doesn't feel cheap. I will say I wish it would fold up more vertical but with all the features it is more than satisfactory. If your looking for something durable and effective for your exercise needs this will surely be the purchase.

A Power House System5
One thing is for certain when unpacking and placing the 350lb Schwinn 860 Treadmill. It is not for the Wheaties deficient. After going through and deciphering the enclosed instruction manual, I felt a sigh of relief in knowing that my inventory of parts and hardware was complete. That said, after a little tweaking and forty five minutes later the treadmill was up and running. Just a note that if users are storing the unit on a less then desirable surface, the two front feet can be rotated to level the unit.

First off, the designers at Schwinn lose style points for placing the power button on a hard to get to area located on the front end of the base. The easy to read, illuminated and multicolored LCD console is the nerve center that controls program settings, fan, rate of incline, belt speed, profiles, body mass index, quick starts and stop. It includes a menu for setup and diagnostics. The onboard course/circuit/pursuit settings seem to be a bit confusing at first. The manual adds to the confusion. Thankfully this model allows us to customize up two programs. There are a total of 16 programs. The LCD displays actual in progress workout measurements as well as end of workout results.

Powered with a 3.0 horsepower motor, a max speed of 12 miles per hour can be obtained in a matter of seconds. Like most treadmills the incline maxes out at 12 percent. Whether I'm running or walking, the tread surface area is (20" x 58") large. With the programmed workouts and a heart rate monitoring system in place (via the hand grips and chest belt) its all systems go. I'm no expert but I would strongly suggest that users with pacemakers or other electric devices implanted to contact their cardiologist before strapping on this monitor.

Like others I'm sure, we've found that both the pulse and calorie monitoring useful tools. The pulse sensor displays the heart rate in beats per minute from the heart rate monitor. The calories sensor displays estimated calories burned during your workout. While recovering from an injury, I remember my physical therapist telling me that the best way to burn fat away during an exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually increase the pace so that the heart rate reaches about 60-80 percent of my heart's maximum. Keeping the heart rate in that area for 20 minutes is preferred. The bottom line is the longer the rate is maintained the more fat is burned away.

Overall we were happily surprised at the lack of noise from this unit. Secondly, the suspension is top notch. The two speed, adjustable fan provides an enjoyable, quiet comfort. A great safety feature is the magnetic key. Without the key, the treadmill will not power up. Removing the key will keep the treadmill from operating but it will not shut down the power. That is done manually via the master power switch. Thanks to the lift hydraulics, both storage and cleaning under the unit is a breeze. This model is also outfitted with water bottle holders, magazine rack, and wheels.

Buyers should be aware that like any machinery there are preventative maintenance measures that must be adhered to for safety sake. The instruction manual offers a good basic maintenance schedule. The Schwinn 860 Treadmill carries a ten year warranty on both the frame and motor. Fixed parts carry a two year warranty whereas wear parts have ninety days tacked on. There is a one year warranty on electronic components. Schwinn also provides a toll free customer support number.

All in all, I have to say Schwinn outdid themselves on the 860 Treadmill. This model is as close to the commercial grade systems operating in the gyms that I have worked out in. In the long haul I believe that this unit will exceed users expectations. I know we are sold on it. I will continue to give periodical updates to this review as we progress. In the meantime, I gladly recommend this product.

10,000 Calories Burned Under the Sea5
For those of you that do not live in North Dakota, just know that we get absolutely insane winters that last 8-9 months with sustained temperatures of -20 (not including the wind chill). While Lewis Black would classify this as a "national emergency," I call it "home." However, despite being able to tolerate the intense winters, I cannot go running during that time as jogging in 2 feet of snow is incredibly difficult if not dangerous.

Enter the Nautilus treadmill... and just in time for winter no less!!

I've only had the Nautilus treadmill for about three days now but I've already used the device heavily and have been greatly impressed by it's quality. After spending an hour trying to unpack the 300lb monstrosity by myself I finally got to see the highly digital layout of the treadmill itself. Unlike other treadmills I've owned the Nautilus has a full digital readout with control on the arm grips. The entire front panel is one large LCD screen with multiple readouts including heart-rate, exact speed, estimated calorie loss, incline, etc. This is somewhat standard on other lesser quality treadmills, but the Nautilus has a very easy-to-read blue and white LCD display that is quick to reference while jogging. Meanwhile, I can check my heart rate with the meter embedded in the metal grips, that measure your pulse while you casually grip the sides. This is very handy as most treadmills, I've noticed, require a clip-on pulse meter that becomes just another thing plugged into you.

Another thing I liked about the Nautilus was it's overall strength in frame and quality. Most treadmills cannot support much weight while the Nautilus can support 350lbs, which is good for me since I'm just over 300 (I'm also 6'5). I can jump around on the treadmill all I need and not have to worry about the device telling me that it is not a freight scale and demand I remove my gargantuan hide off of it like my Wii Fit does. Fortunately, the device comes with an extended frame warranty in case I do break it. Meanwhile, while I cannot truly objectively compare the Nautilus to other treadmills (I think I've used three in my entire lifetime), I can say that I do not feel as though I'm walking on pavement while maintaining a 5-7mph jog. I won't go as far as to say the belt is "ample," but it's certainly not concrete either. Plus, I do not have trouble with the supplied space given my height and proportionately sized long legs. This is a commercial treadmill and, as such, should have ample space (guess I did use the word, after all), for people of all kinds of heights.

The last set of features I liked about the Nautilus was the incline and just how fast the treadmill goes. My last treadmill could barely do the mile in under 10 minutes and could not incline without adjusting it from underneath with a ratchet set. With the Nautilus, I can go up to 12mp (a five minute mile), which, pretty much, is marathon speed. This gives any user, a high range of speeds from sluggish walk to Olympic speeds. I can recall spending the other night with my friends seeing how fast we could shoot M&Ms off the back with the treadmill at full speed. We didn't send them into the wall but it sure shot them out pretty darn fast. This may seem juvenile to many of you out there, however, I'm used to running outside only and the last treadmill I had access to was my parent's old clunker that had a max speed of 6mph... that and us guys were really bored the other day and had always wanted to try it (next time, we'll use raisins).

The Nautilus also can incline up to 15 degrees up bubble, which doesn't sound like a significant grade but it's incredibly wearing on anyone over extended periods of time. This is good since a good scenic hiking or running trail are in short supply for the good majority of us, especially if you live in the flat lands. If you want a real challenge, keep the incline on full as well as the speed and see how long you last. I lasted 10 seconds before I had to yank the emergency stop key out less I become embedded in the same wall as my M&Ms. Naturally, in case I do fall back too far the safety key (which should ALWAYS be clipped on to the user) will easily become unplugged and stop the machine.

All in all, I can see why many professional gyms use the Nautilus as their standard treadmills. Granted, I prefer running outside a LOT more than an indoor treadmill; however, when winter sets in I'm gonna be super glad I got this one. It's well worth the money!!

Update: After two weeks of prolonged use and now that it is snowing I've come up with a very effective exercise regimen that maximizes physical training and weight loss. I finally figured out how to program the track pre-sets to where it'll speed up .1mph after every minute until it reaches 6pmh and then steepens the grade after 15 minutes, and then slows down after 30 minutes. I'm trying to simulate the 4-mile hike I used to do around Mountain Lake on Orcas Island (Washington State) and it's worked out very well and all I have to do it hit pre-set 1 (there are over half a dozen) and off it goes. This treadmill continues to amaze me.

Peace out!

Customer Reviews

Space Saver, Very good4
I was looking for a treadmill and I was recommended nautilus by one of my friends. She has a exercise bike and I used it too and I found it very good.

I am about 170 pounds and the motor is pretty smooth with good cushion. I run with flat sole shoes and there is enough grip and the cushion is also soft at the same time. Integrated heart rate feature is pretty good.

Setting up the machine was really easy [the wheels came in handy] and also I really like the feature of setting up the treadmill vertically, just in case you need more space.

The workout levels look almost the same as that in my gym [flat, incline, hill, jog etc.] and I dont use most of them and hence cannot comment on them.

I do not know how power makes a difference and i refrain to comment on this as well. For power runners, my instructor recommends sport series. For regular workouts, this model is pretty effective and also cheap. [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00275R2T8?ie=UTF8&tag=aisn-20&creativeASIN=B00275R2T8 ]

Things I wish were better or included.
1. I prefer longer arm rests. I started with one that has long arm rests and I prefer that.
2. Bigger/depper racks/ holders. Just enough space to hold my ipod touch? [These two reasons should be addressed to make this a 5star product]
3. A cheaper price, I don't care much about the power, but lower price models are very hard to assemble and also occupies a lot of space.

Over all, I am very much satisfied with this. And there is enough warranty as well.

Great So Far5
The box did arrive damaged, but everything appeared to be okay inside. It is fairly heavy yet easy to move on a level surface, but I'm not sure how getting it up stairs would work. The top of the console comes in three sections, there's one bag of tools, one bag for the cord, and then the rest of the unit. I was able to move the unit from my garage to my living room myself without too much problem, but I'm over 6' with enough muscle to do it, most people will need help moving it and all the directions call for two people to set it up. All the tools are included and it took only about 15 minutes to tighten a couple of bolts and unscrew a few screws, put on the console, and replace the screws. Fairly simple.

Just a test run today to see how quiet it is which I was concerned about, but it is very quiet, even more so than I'd hoped. So far it appears to be very solid and I hope to get a lot of use out of it. The instructions do say to use some silicon lubricant prior to use and after every 50 hours or 3 months, which I didn't know about.

Great affordable Treadmill5
Pros
1. Quiet
2. Easy to assemble ( I did assemble by myself within 1 hour)
3. Stable (Good for running)
4. Variety programs and Quick start program.
5. Quick delivery
6. Easy to move after folding
7. Easy to fold and unfold.
8. Safety key (Stop treadmill when you lose control)

Cons
1. Only griping style heart rate (No telemetric heart rate)
I recommend it.
