Customer Rating: Summary: Walking Comment: I like the fact this is a small treadmill and can be stored, even though it is difficult with the arms on the sides. It also gives you a good workout since it is manual it is harder to walk on and takes some getting use to. Overall good product for what I personally wanted it for. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Customer Service Comment: Amazon is awesome to deal with as was the vendor of this product. I had a slight issue with a mechanical problem, I called the vendor's customer service and they remedied my problem ASAP. Thanks to all for great service. Customer Rating: Summary: Well worth it. Comment: I really like the Edge 500 Treadmill. It was a snap to put together. One thing I did to make storage easier was to leave off the side arms. This way I can place it up against the wall without them sticking out. I find that the front "handlebar" is enough to hang onto. So far there is no trouble with the tread tracking to one side or another. Also, the "computer readout" seems to be working fine.
There is more resistance to walking with this than the traditional electric treadmill. But I count this as a plus. I figure I'm working a little harder so I can cut down on my walking time to get the same exercise.
This treadmill is perfect for this time of year for me in Tampa where during the summer it is way to hot and humid to go walking outside. I just pull it up in front of the TV and go to it.
If there is a complaint it would be that the wheels are a little small. Sometimes when I move it to put it away they seem to bind up. But it still slides without any problem. I can live with that. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase.
Customer Rating: Summary: Edge 500 Manual Treadmill Review Comment: The Edge 500 Manual Treadmill is a good value for those interested in a basic treadmill. It assembled easily and doesn't occupy much space. However, the belt often sticks while you are walking throwing your pace off. I purchased this item for my wife since I belong to a health club where the tredmills are electric and provide a constant pace. Customer Rating: Summary: Exactly What I Wanted! Comment: This thing is great! I was looking for something inexpensive, sturdy, and affordable, that I could fold up. To be honest, once I had this put together (which was fairly simple) I didn't really want to fold it up. I really love this treadmill; it is certainly a great workout and it's entirely self powered which is so convenient (just get on and go).
It's really not loud at all when you are just walking on it (all you hear is the sound of the belt moving which isn't loud). You can easily walk on it and watch TV at the same time with no trouble hearing and it doesn't wake anyone up if I'm on it while they're sleeping. The only time it gets a little loud is if you are running fast on it.
I LOVE to walk, and it's how I get most of my exercise (it's one of the few exercises that isn't a drag to do) but weather conditions and outdoor allergies don't always allow for long walks. With this I get plenty of exercise and I really enjoy using this machine; and there are absolutely no excuses not to jump on and use it.
One last note; I know a few people have had issues with their digital readers (which I wasn't all that concerned with because that's not why I was buying it) but I haven't had any problems at all with the digital reader on this, it works just great.
