Have eagerly awaited the treadmill. Fast installation, if you are technically gifted something :-). The tape was taken by me in the same operation and tested. Bin at level 4 (4km / h) first run, 45 min. Without problems. The only points deduction: The rubber (treadmill itself) smells pretty strong. Decreases. Although with time, but for now the smell is distracting when the tape is in the room I also think that you can make really save space in the corner there after training. What I noticed is that the band makes grinding noises, the engine itself is quiet. Every now and then comes a slight squeak because I have to look even know what it is. At my request the supplier I could receive only as a recommendation following mail: There are skin care oils in the sports shop, so I should be about every 3 months Lubricate the belt - the same protection and care. Definitely true for me, the price-performance ratio! compared to other treadmills .. That's probably been a real find! Addendum: 14.1.11 I would like to add here for those interested: Meanwhile the rubber smell is completely gone - I run 3-4 times a week and I am happy. Have arrived at stage 5, no problems 45 min. Holding the device with me from :-) It is then simply folded up and I have again space in the room.
