This is a really solid piece of equipment. It's packaged incredibly well, even with thick disposable plywood fastened to the sides to keep it from getting banged up. Easy to assemble the little things that need to be put together. But beware: This thing is HEAVY. When I found out about walking pads as opposed to treadmills and saw a few YT videos about them, I got the idea that I'd be storing this up against a wall (as I saw in a video) or maybe under a piece of furniture; I live in an apartment and am short on space. But there is No. Way. I'm tilting this thing up, despite its wheels, to move it somewhere after every workout. This might only be a warning to those below-average in strength, like I think I'm getting to be, but you might want to clear a permanent space for this thing. 70 pounds, I think. Know your strength if you have the idea this will be easily moved around. Again, I really like this. It doesn't feel shaky or rattly under my feet (hence its weight, I guess); feels like a small treadmill and not some portable piece of junk. Some relatively minor criticisms: - The fact that you can only start it moving with a remote control isn't ideal. The remote seems cheap, is small and easily dropped or misplaced; there's no little slot to put it in. If it breaks, I hope the company sells replacements because otherwise it's a giant brick. The only way to stop the machine without the remote is to pull the safety clip, which stops it on a dime. Jarring. So yes, the remote is the best way to stop it, too. - The display is wanting... a small screen rotates among info like speed, distance, etc. I find the flashing distracting when I'm watching something on my iPad, and of course you have to wait for the info you want to roll back around if you missed it. A wider screen with just three pieces of info would be better. - The stand to hold a device is sized for a phone. I am able to prop my iPad up but it could use a bigger stand to safely accommodate tablets, but maybe that adds too many inches to a small alternative to treadmills. - Finally, PLEASE, companies from non-English-speakiing manufacturers: Get better translators. The manual for this thing is sometimes incomprehensible.
