ICON CardioStride 2.0 Treadmill

I use to have an electric treadmill. It was bigger, bulky and noisy. The belt would slip occasionally and I almost fell several times so I got rid of it. This treadmill is manual, and I like that when you stop walking, it stops. That makes the likely hood of falling non-existent. It's smaller than a regular treadmill, so it fits in my smaller home nicely. It arrived pretty quickly, was easy to put together and the directions were easy to follow. I've read other reviews that people have had problems with the display, but mine seems to be working fine, and the readouts compare pretty closely with other exercise tracking phone apps I have. Because of the incline (12% and 19%, your choice), this treadmill is not a walk in the park! I had just started running (outside) and had built up up to 2.5 miles a day before the weather turned too cold, so it's not like I'm totally out of shape. But the first time I used this treadmill, I barely made 30 minutes (alternating walking and running) and I was literally dripping with sweat! So, if you think because its manual, it will be easy, it is not! The frame seems to be as well built as the electric one I had before, just smaller. The only thing I would change would be to put wheels on it so it is easier to move around. Overall, I found it works well and it will give me the opportunity to maintain my workouts during the cold winter months.

I purchased this unit for my fiancé because she wanted something compact and easy to use. I found it quite easy to assemble because the tools and parts were well labeled. Having read the other review first, I made one small change to the set-up. I added two thin 2 inch long screws to hold the display on the treadmill as the two short screws provided were basically worthless. It held tight the first time and I haven't had any problems with the display. The unit runs smooth and is fairly quite (not a big deal anyway because she works out to blaring music). The unit feels sturdy and is well built. The “necessary” inclines (because it is a manual unit) provide a challenging workout- better than a motorized treadmill IMHO. My fiancé said she was feeling the burn within minutes of using this treadmill. Plus, it really makes her sweat! It folds in half and takes up less room than a large motorize treadmill. The belt is wide and after two weeks of use we have never experienced any belt slippage. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends looking for a low cost – high quality manual treadmill. She said it was the best gift I ever got her. :0)

The belt requires constant adjustment, it makes so much noise! the back cover piece for the display just keeps falling off I had to put scotch tape to hold it together I could only use the treadmill for 1/2 hr the day I brought home. I returned this product immediately for a refund.

Great treadmill. Easy to assemble, being it's human powered you get a faster workout than having the assistance of motor powered versions. Folds up easy to save space. Glad I bought it. LCD works accuratly and I really like the simplicity of the entire machine.

I wanted a simple treadmill and that's what i got ! compact and able to fold up easily. my only complaint is that we were unable to attach the speedometer !! we were unable to follow the directions--maybe we're just 'dense' but i don't need to know how fast i'm going !!
