Great machine with lots of speed choices, and it was really easy to assemble. However, the machine was heavier to lift than expected – once lifted the wheels make it easy to maneuver to storage location though. It is difficult to store it under a bed on carpeted floor for example as it doesn’t slide easily side-ways. So it would be helpful if the wheels could swivel to allow for side-ways sliding in future models.
Near Value for money, apart from that..
1. Phone Holder extension clip could have been longer to hold large device.
2. Upright standing stand, although it stands well
3. Frame lock is too strong and need serious power to lock.
4. Speakers sound too low, was expecting better at 400 bucks.
Came very well packaged.
A bit fiddly at times to attach the hand rails. For this reason, I am yet to take them off to test out the ease of folding it away.
Found it hard to attach the phone holder flush. So the screws stick out a little so when I put my phone in the holder, the screws press the side buttons so I just use it to store the control instead.
After the 1st 3 minutes of use, the belt shifted about 1cm across to the left but after contacting Amazon support, they said this is normal on any running machine.
I like that it is fairly quiet, meaning I could use it during unsociable hours without worrying about neighbors.
The speaker is pretty good too and easy to connect to via Bluetooth.
I love that it won’t work unless the emergancy clip is attached.
In short, I would recommend this machine but suggest a little helper when putting it together.
Feeling the need to get fitter but with colder and wetter nights coming in, I decided to look for a treadmill suitable for the home. There are lots out there but the reviews, price and functionality of the Dripex convinced me to take the gamble.
When ordering I was given a delivery date of 7 days but it arrived in 3, excellent. It was very well packaged but is heavy, I definitely recommend 2 people unpacking and setting it up. It took less than 10 mins to get out of the box and start using, so easy. I have left off the side arms as this makes it easier to fold flat should I wish to, but I have left it up as it is used almost every day. The motor is very quiet and the bluetooth works very well.
In my opinion, excellent value for money.
I havent done a lot of research to be honest just went of videos and reviews. So far – im very happy with the treadmill. My main concerns before buying a home treadmill: I was worried it wont be quick enough to have a run and it will be not sturdy – but this one has none of those issues.
Didnt find any problems with it so far! I need to buy an extension lead but thats that.
Easy to set up, i didnt bother with the phone holder as i wont be using it.
Ps i have watched the video back and it makes it sound as if its very loud but i think its my phone’s microphone is too sensitive. Its not that noisy.
Really pleased with the treadmill, easy to use for us old folk. It’s going to keep us fit during the winter months when we can’t walk outdoors.
I waited over a month to write this review.
I have been using this tredmill 3-5 times a week as a means to improve my weight, posture, and an old knee injury.
It’s quiet, sturdy and reliable. A little heavy if you have joint problems but rolls well on carpet and hard floors once you lift the back end.
Make sure you read the instructions and your machine should last you a long time!
I love it! So slim I can lean it on a wall in a very narrow space!
Pros:
-Quiet
-Reliable
-Good speed settings
-Emergency stop
-Remote control
Cons:
-May seem heavy to people with joint issues
-Remote control needs some adjustments as it is prone to jumping several levels on occasion. (However, machine is sturdy enough for you to stand on the outsides to readjust this, and it rarely happens. Use the safety features).
Nice machine, not to big perfect for a elderly person to get walking, my granddaughter loves i
I am sporty and used the gym ones lots so I was worried not to adapt to a ‘non professional one’
And if you have the same doubts be reassured: it’s so the same experience of the gym ones, plenty of space to run / walk fast, the assemble is v basic (it comes pretty much all assembled) and, cherry on the cake, the vendor is soooo kind!
I had some re-arrangements to do with the delivery and they really went above the mark with their help and support (I love the seller personel too!)
Buy it!!;)
Needs longer plug. Great to have easy to hide and use .
Folds up really nicely, I have it stashed under the stairs when not in use.
I tend to use it mostly in “walking” mode, though 4kph is a little slow, but certainly more than fast enough to draw a sweat, and you can watch TV easily at the same time.
Don’t lose the allen key for tightening the belt, as after a few miles it will need a bit of a tighten.
At the top speed you’re doing an 8 minute 2 second mile, more than enough for most, but it’s pretty noisy at full tilt.
This has encouraged me to work out more frequently and it’s an essential bit of kit for me nowadays. I absolutely love this treadmill.
Three things I would improve:
I would love it if there were a better way to put the hand rails on and off – removing them when you want to fold it down is a pain, so often I don’t bother attaching them.
The phone clip is a bit small. I have a large phone and it doesn’t fit in it.
It would also be great if there were a way to turn down the volume of the speaker on the unit, as the default beeping is really loud!
Without doubt my best purchase this year, the treadmill is easy to use and looks cool. I have used this a lot since purchased, mainly to increase my step count daily while working from home. I don’t fold it away it’s in a fixed position within my office area, having to remove the arms every time would be a pain, but isn’t an issue for me. I have lost weight which was also one of my goals thanks to being able to keep more active and not sitting constantly throughout the day. I found one of the screw sections in one of the arms was off, so I was unable to attach, after a quick message to customer services, they happily sent out replacement arms. The unit is well made, sturdy and definitely fast enough for me, it has built up my stamina and I have built up to do short bursts of running. I am not a runner mainly due to the impact on my back, but found this to not affect it as much as running outside. I’m very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend.
Great treadmill, does exactly what you would expect. Comes with 2 bottles of oil and east to follow instructions. The treadmill is holding up really well several months later with a good amount of usage,. Would defo recommend.
Only downside is that to oil the belt the small side arms need to be removed and the main arm folded down. Otherwise it’s great!
However, the delivery was days late, was KERBSIDE ONLY and the delivery team (XDP) were rude. Fortunately, I live in an apartment with lift access but there is absolutely no way I would have been able to get it upstairs by myself. I do not see this specified anywhere in the item details and would not have ordered the treadmill if this was the case.
Great product from a great seller.
Love it and helps me get steps on when I’m unable to get out due to childcare
Ultra quiet and reliable treadmill. Easy to setup and easy to use. Solid. Long enough for 6ft1inch blokes to use. Can’t speak highly enough of it. Value for money. Only time will tell if it lasts but so far used daily and only needs a few drops of oil (Supplied) to keep things running smoothly.
This is a robust treadmill including for a heavier adult – over 110kg. It is easy to assemble and the front bar does fold down easily although the whole thing is very heavy, Maintenance is ok but with the hand rail sticking out you can’t easily turn it over to apply the lubricant to the underside of the belt. I found it best to have it on its side to apply lubricant rather than fully turn it over. The instructions are good saying how often to lubricate although they don’t say how much lubricant to apply in one go. (I used half of one bottle which seemed fine – two bottle provided with the treadmill). The seller will provide wide ranging advice and support if needed.
It does the work if you wanted for walking, I have not tried to run yet. Is very good for beginners who wants tl to use it few times a week.
Unfortunately had to return the treadmill due to unforeseen circumstances. There was no hassle in returning the equipment, customer services were excellent.
Purchased for the Wifey, As she needed a treadmill,
WOW and this thing really is a great bit of kit, And I’ve started to use this myself as I needed to get myself a bit fitter (I myself put on a bit of weight over the pandemic so need to get fit) anyway I used this no problems at all.
I never leave reviews on thing but felt I should as treadmills are such a sensitive but and you honestly don’t know if you’re buying the right one. Please please take the advise of the other reviews this treadmill is fantastic it’s an ideal home treadmill easy to set up and easy to store, I cannot recommend it enough.
For the price and what it offers, this is a good treadmill. Easy to transport. Good for walking or running. Easy to assemble
We kept our old treadmill in our dry and warm garage. A field mouse decided to move in and made a nest in the treadmill mechanism. This came to light – literally – when I tried to use the the treadmill in late January. A blown fuse, smell of burning and smoke from the motor end of the treadmill bed pointed to serious problems. Sadly, detailed examination revealed both the mouse and the treadmill were seriously incinerated. Repairs were problematic as parts were hard/impossible to get and obtaining a replacment seemed the best solution. After much deliberation, the Dripex treadmill seemed to offer a good solution at a reasonable cost. I’ve been using it for several months now and I’m very pleased with it.
There’s no way of adjusting the gradient as was the case with the old treadmill but that’s not a feature we ever used so its no great loss.
The running track is shorter and somewhat narrower than the old system but after several months of use I have got used to this and the space saving more than compensates for this.
The treadmill is easy to assemble. I found it easy to do on my own but given the weight of the treadmill, the more elderly and/or or less fit would do well to get some assistance. There is very little assembly involved and its almost intuitive although the pictorial instructions are easy enough to follow. Perversely, what should have been the easiest bit to do -screwing on the armrests – I found the most difficult. To be fair, the difficulty was largely of my creation due to my pushing the treadmill up close to a wall. This made lining up the screws that secure the armrests difficult – well more difficult than it needed to be!!! Actually, the armrests and their securing screws are the real Achilles heel of the treadmill. You cannot fold the treadmill up unless you remove the armrests. Surely some better arrangement could be devised? I am tempted to remove the armrests so I could readily fold the treadmill up when its not in use. Left to my own devices I would do this but my wife is uneasy about using the treadmill without them.
The display is metric – Km, Km/hour etc. Its a shame there isnt an option to have stuff displayed in miles, mph etc. I dont think it would be a big deal to add a metric/non metric display option but this lack is not the end of the world.
I find it irritating that if I have to stop/pause the treadmill (eg to go and answer the door) that it loses the mileage (sorry kilometerage!) that I had done when I return and continue. Maybe there’s some way of preventing this behaviour but if there is, I haven’t found it.
Bluetooth works great and I have had no trouble in pairing with Samsung, Google Pixel and other smartphones.
Overall, this is a compact treadmill that seems well made. It provides a stable, solid platform for the walking and mild jogging we use it for. I think it would likely prove too small for serious running. Mind you, being somewhat overweight, I think my trying to run at the maximum12Km/h would probably cause it some serious stress (it would cause me some too!!) .
When I was deciding on what to buy, this treadmill appeared in a number of “expert” reviews as a good buy and these persuaded me to take the plunge. Whilst several months of use have brought to light some drawbacks, weaknesses and annoyances, these are minor. It seemed a good buy and it WAS a good buy.
I spent many months researching into buying a treadmill, finally saw this and it ticked all the boxes for me. On delivery I discovered it was truly a work of art rather than a treadmill. I bought it because I spent many many hours in front of the computer and needed something where I can use as an “under the desk treadmill”, so I can walk and work at the same time (for health reasons).
its not very big and not very fast if you are fit and want to run on it, but its perfect if you want to walk on it. There are other treadmills that claim they can do 16km/h but if you look at their motor, its only 1.5hp, where as this one has a 2.25HP and it only goes up to 12km/hr. this means you are unlikely to wear the motor out quickly due to the stress you put on it.
folding it and unfolding it is really easy and is done by just pulling a single handle, but when you have the handle down the max speed is 4km/hr which is a good thing for safety. There are treadmills that go much faster and they do not have the handle or any support either side at all, but trust me, you do not want that at all as its highly dangerous.
the assembly is minimal and you get all the tools to be able to do it.
I love mine and its genuinely so beautiful in design.
I am extremely pleased with this treadmill .
It has ticked all my boxes for something that it foldable, not huge, looks stylish, runs up to 12km an hour . It’s not noisy. Yes the run board is shorter than larger models but both my sons have used it (both 6ft) and they did not find this a massive issue . I would thoroughly recommend to anyone like myself that has bought one to increase fitness level . I think it’s more suited to your “average” user rather than somebody that does serious running .
I had to replace a large, heavy treadmill as needed room and wanted ease of moving equipment when necessary. This does exactly what I want for fast walking, a great buy.
To be honest, I expected it to be rubbish but thankfully I was wrong and clearly ordered the best treadmill for the price.
Its small, and fits under the sofa. Although my wife wanted the candy red one so it’s very bright under the sofa!
It requires literally no setup. A handle pulls down on the side and lets you raise the folding bar. You can choose to screw on the arm rests but I didn’t bother, if you really need to hold on when running then the speed control bar is right there anyway.
There are two screws to put in for the phone holder (mine arrived broken) but I’m not bothered as the treadmill is in front of the TV anyway.
It has decent speeds, I generally do a fast jog/slow run on it at 8kmh, but it goes to 12 which is far more than most. It is pretty heavy on the front end where the motor is but we just slide it in and out on some foam/rubber mats.
There are similar cheaper versions of this on here but be warned, reviews mention the motor has a thin plastic shell on them which gets burned from the heat and can ruin your floor. Thankfully the underside of this treadmill is hard plastic and doesn’t get overly hot. Another plus point for not buying the cheapest versions on here.
I was concerned because this was dispatched using XDP couriers who have horrendous reviews, but it was ordered on Sunday and arrived on Wednesday. It came well packaged and the outer shell of the treadmill was secure and hadn’t been bashed around or cracked etc.
Very impressed so far. Definitely bought the right treadmill on here.
Having searching the internet for a folding treadmill that goes fast enough to run on but folds small enough and not take up too much space, I gave up, until I came across this treadmill.
My eldest child likes to sprint whilst I use it to do interval running/walking (couch to 5K), it’s sturdy and nice looking.
I am very impressed and so is everybody else who comes round.
I would recommend this if you are looking to keep fit but don’t have the space for a treadmill or the time to go to the gym.
I bought some foam mats from Halfords to go underneath which has made a lot of difference, so would recommend mats underneath.
I am very happy with my purchase.
This treadmill is great, we had previously had some trouble getting a treadmill and should have just trusted Amazon in the first place because it didn’t disappoint. The item is very light and easy to move around considering what it is, its relatively quiet when using it apart from the very loud beep when you turn on the machine. Overall a great buy though especially for the price
Great machine, very easy to use. My only real criticisms are a few design features that could easily be improved. The arms currently need to be removed before you can fold it flat, for example. Having them attached to the side of the frame and collapsible might change the look, but would mean I didn’t need to dig out the screws every time I want to use it. Also, the wheels on the base only face forward, which makes it tricky to slide horizontal (ie to store under the sofa). That said, its a great treadmill if you have limited space. Very sturdy and good quality.
This item is perfect for Home use! My first treadmill and love it!
Just one small problem running area is small.
Really happy with this purchase, works great. Only thing I am not happy with is that the delivery driver left the parcel on our doorstep while we was out as come before it was due!
Several settings, connects to blue tooth, so far so good
Neat little unit. Stands in the corner of my small living room so we can use it easily but equally we can fold and pop under the stairs if we have visitors. Used daily by myself (walks and building up couch to 5k) and my teenager who likes to sprint 1k on it. Definitely upped our exercise with the use of this. Really convenient, I can hop on it between meetings when working from home too.
Felt it was heavy to manoeuvre but a part from that excellent produc
The treadmill arrived quickly and was easy to assemble using the instructions, but unfortunately it didn’t work.
The customer support from Joyce was absolutely amazing, and after many very helpful emails and videos, and a new motor – success!
I am now happily using the treadmill which is great, albeit slightly noisy.
I wanted a treadmill to walk as I don’t get any exercise what so ever. Great little machine. No frills just what I needed. The treadmill is smaller than other treadmills so it fits in my kitchen a treat. Love it so far no problems. Plus the yeolo store was fantastic to deal with 1st class customer service.
Great machine, I’ve been using it for over a week now and it’s easy to use, only negative point I have is it has no pause button just stop and start. Would recommend especially for the price.
I will update with any answers I get.
UPDATE: All resolved easily and happily with the buyer! Was sent a replacement very quickly and it’s great!
The machine is working well and suits my needs. Worth pointing out that one side casing was damaged. This is cosmetic and does not affect the operation of the machine. Replacement casing is being sent but will involve quite a bit of dismantling etc which is rather annoying.
Very pleased with this treadmill, it’s sturdy yet compact just right for our small bedroom. Just a shame that it can’t be stood on its side when not in use but we are still chuffed to bits with i
The build is solid and the treadmill is quiet mainly due to the quality of the running belt which does a great job of absorbing the impact of running. In folded mode (for walking) it has speeds adjustable up to 4km/h and when unfolded it can go to 12km/h, the perfect speeds for my wife’s fast walks and my longer runs.
It is easy to fold back away for storage and we are lucky that it conveniently fits underneath our sofa. Adjusting speeds is very simple via the provided + and – button, and the overall usage of the treadmill is very simple. It has a phone holder and bluetooth speaker on it as well which can be easily connected to via mobile phone to play music. Overall, money well spent.
Who wants to leave their warm house and sofa to get in the car to drive to the gym during this english weather? Small indoor treadmill sounds like such a better idea. So far I’m happy with the performance and don’t regret this decision. It is very study and well made. A bit on the heavy side, but still able to move it around rather easily. 100% fits under bed or sofa. Brilliant! This treadmill is also very quiet. I use it in my room while watching a movie and no one can even hear me working out. Last but not least, even on those lazy days, I am able to hit my steps target for the day. I’m very happy with this and is definitely a great and long term investment for my health.
I like the fact you can pretty much a take it out of the box and go, most of it is ready assembled except the little handles and phone holder which just screw in (tools come with it). I also added some of the lubricant (you get 2 bottles) which came with it. Little phone holder is great it has a spring clip so you can fit different size phones and it’s nice and secure. I was also worried that the handles wouldn’t be strong enough if I was doing interval training, again no problem very sturdy.
It all feels really sturdy, it feels very well built despite being compact. Last positive I have to say Is it’s not ugly, looks very stylish and doesn’t dominate the room (again important when you’ve limited space).
Only knocked a star off because it doesn’t have a bottle holder but I have a shelf next to it so doesn’t really matter for me.
Use this in a number of ways: under desk to create walking desk, walk pad to warm up or down and to run on & at top speed it’s faster than I can manage at this time. Live the Bluetooth speaker too!
Very quick delivery, they even tried to deliver it a few days early which I sadly missed, but shows great response speed. Instruction manual very helpful and easy to understand, just as simple to setup only real difficulty came in the form of allen key which didn’t quite fit in one of the bolts to secure the balance arms on the side. Once fastened no issues.
With the phone holder and bluetooth connection, easy to watch something or listen to music through it if you wish while working out, most treadmills only go up to 6, with this one going up to 12 it lets you get into a nice run to work with, so its wonderful for home fitness if your not someone who actively goes out much, Remote has a slight delay so do be careful if using it to speed up/slow down, tapping it lightly does control speed easier/safer so do be warned if you hold button down you might accidently go too fast too quickly if not ready for it.
I’m very happy with this so if you are looking for a home treadmill that has a little more speed to it than most, minimal setup and not taking up that much space, go for it! Thank you to the providers/makers this is gonna do me wonders! This is practically gym level so the only thing I’ll warn against it is don’t go for this if your looking for a walking treadmill for the elderly.
Just what I needed as working from home and not getting any exercise. Very sturdy and good quality.
Nothing to dislike so far, seems very well made, worked straight out of the box.
Things I would like to have on this unit would be, a simple reset-able memory, to see to see how far you have covered in say a week. and although there are casters to help move the unit, it would be nice if they were rotatable, also the supplied mains lead is too sho
It is too nice, in particular if you living in small home
Excellent. Simple to assemble. Clear monitoring of speed and distance.
This treadmill is perfect. The 12k maximum speed allows for quality interval training, the size means it can be stored under the sofa, and the customer service is fantastic. So happy I bought this treadmill.
Very happy with this purchase. Easy to assemble, easy to use, holds my weight and easy to move it around. Great quality treadmillDefinitely recommend.
Easy to install, although the hand rails are very very tricky to attach. Gave up after getting one done. It’s a really nice machine. My only problem is that the speed seems to be wrong. 4k for example feels more like 6k on other treadmills. But doesn’t matter too much.
Great treadmill, fits under my sofa (though you have to leave off the arm struts. Have used it every weekday for six weeks and it’s great.
I love this treadmill. Is compact and easy to assemble. The only thing that bothers me is that u have to unscrew the handles to fold it and when u pull the safety string it stops straight away not slowly. I really love it!
Compact and not too heavy, but seems sturdy once assembled. Attaching the horizontal arms was a real pain – the bolts kept falling inside the frame, Also, securing the vertical arms is a bit hit and miss as it’s hard to align the two vertical arms in their slots. It runs well, though and is quiet. Don’t recommend putting it on a thick carpet as it will probably wobble.
Only had this for a few days and have just started couch to 5k. It’s quiet, sturdy and easy to use.
It’s small enough to fit into a my small property but big enough for someone like myself who has a long stride
This is a brilliant treadmill. I usually run on a machine 4 times the size of this one but its broken at the moment so I ordered this as a stop gap. However this is now my permanent machine and I love it. I can run in any room of the house and it packs away into a small cupboard.
Customer service is also brilliant. Mine arrived with a small broken part which was replaced in matter of days after one email.
Perfect treadmill good for home me and my family used everyday thanks
Just what I wanted slides under sofa, only hazel is the side arms don’t fold down when putting away, you have to screw then in with Alan key every time you use and dismantle, apart from that very pleased that I can conseal it while not in use
Machine that was easy to assemble, sturdy, easy to store, good looking, and works well with minimal noise.
Great product and great service sorting out a little blip with delivery.
Quite easy to assemble although it took 2 to attach the arms. Been in use most days. Really pleased with it. It runs quietly too.
Loved the treadmill nice and sleek and easy to use
Delivery company delivered a day late but other then that great item I love it!
Brilliant treadmill. It is easy to set up and use. It is very compact and takes up less space than my other treadmill. It has helped me increase my steps and lose weight during lockdown, especially when I can’t go out for walks. My best purchase. A big thank you to Joyce for being so kind and helpful.
Looks a little fragile but does the job. Compact and so far so good.
Great company to deal with. Came when they said it would. Answered questions promptly and treadmill is great. Looked at many before we bought. This lives up to its price tag
Quick delivery and solid product for now. I tried the same day i got it with not issue. It is heavy but also very solid. Easy to put together. No issues so far. I suggest i
Been using this for a month now and can’t fault it really. I don’t have a lot of space so cannot leave it set up permanently, but it’s really easy to lift up and wheel around to lean it against the wall for storage. It’s quiet, sturdy and looks very sleek. Shame there isn’t a companion App though for data tracking etc.
Quite heavy for one person but still manageable, and means that it’s sturdy when running. Struggled to put the handles on as the bolts could do with being a bit longer but I’ve ended up leaving them off, which doesn’t affect the functionality of the treadmill. Great display at the bottom which I keep focused on and it stops me from losing my stepping (I’m prone to falling over). Haven’t tried the speaker yet but I’m fine using my phone or earphones. Machine runs really quietly, compared to a treadmill I had in the past which was a lot bigger and bulkier. Remote control is very handy and a good idea but the finger pad is also very sensitive and works really well.
Would recommend this to anyone, especially if you have limited space or want it to have a prominent place in the house (not the garage) to keep your motivation up to use it, rather than out if sight out of mind. It looks good and can be easily moved around the house. My jogging speed is about 6km and the machine was really comfortable at that, haven’t taken it to full speed yet. I had concerns before buying it that the belt would be quite small, but this hasn’t been an issue and I would say that there was quite a lot of room for me to jog at a decent stride (I’m 5’7″ tall).
Need to also comment on the delivery company: kept me informed, arrive 6 days ahead of schedule, arrived in the time frame they texted me and the driver lifted it into the house for me as well. Couldn’t fault them.
Really impressed, exactly what I need to sort myself out, in lockdown, in bad weather etc.
It doesn’t feel flimsy when you’re running on it either and the track length is pretty good. I’m 6’3″ and I only had to watch my stride length a couple of times.
The remote control is easy enough to use and you can stick it in your pocket when your running.
I was a bit dubious about how good it would be as its so different from a normal treadmill. But, two days of having it, I’ve done two 4mile runs at 8.3min miles. It goes faster so you could use this for indoor training to do a sub two hour half marathon if you really wanted to.
Really pleased with this overall.
Let me just add some points beforehand so you understand my recommendation/review:
– I spent weeks searching and investigating for the perfect treadmill that would fit all my personal requirements: Compact and light, suitable deck size, walking/running speed and shock absorption.
– Most of the treadmills that are being sold are made in China, so do not trust some adverts that tell you that the treadmill is German quality, etc. With a few clicks and searches you can find all the models selling from China. I am not saying that because they are made in China they are not good. It’s the opposite, I just think that some brands are overpricing the treadmills that they import from China for 1/10th of the price.
– This is my second treadmill as I bought another in October (KingSmith K12 if you want to search it even though is not being sold under that name) but unfortunately I had to return it because it had an issue with the safety clip and sometimes the treadmill would stop abruptly while running. They didn’t had any in stock and would only have them by mid-February so I asked for a refund. Not important for this review but that is an amazing treadmill as well.
– This treadmill is half the price of the other one I bought so I made huge savings by changing to this one.
Now the important part… I will give you may opinion based on my criteria for the treadmill I wanted.
Compact and light – There is no question that this treadmill is very slim, compact and light. For all that it offers I think is almost impossible to make something better than this regarding its size and weight. It is easily folded and can be tucked away easily. I personally leave it set up all the time, knowing that I can simple store it on the cupboard if I need the space.
Deck size – For me this is the only thing I would improve in this treadmill. The deck size is 40cm x 100cm which for me works but it will not suit everyone. I am 5ft5 and I do not make long strides so I can easily walk and run with the space available. For someone tall that has long strides maybe this will not be the best option, but you can always give it a go.
Walking/Running Speed – Well, this goes from 1.0 KM/H up to 12.0 KM/H with increments of 0.1 KM/H which is perfect. I am no professional runner so the top speed is more than enough for me. It is not easy to find a compact treadmill that allows you to run at 12 KM/H. I’ve attached a video with me walking at 4KM/H, jogging at 8KM/H and running at 12KM/H. You will understand when I change the speed by the beep sounding. Note: My treadmill is not positioned as recommend as you should leave some space behind so you do not hurt yourself if you fall. As I want to watch telly and don’t have much space around I use it like that at my own risk 🙂
Shock Absorption – Probably the most important requirement from my side. Treadmills can have a negative impact on your knees. I already had a major surgery in one of my knees as I injured myself playing football and I tore my ACL, meniscus and cartilage. So, I needed a treadmill that absorbs most of the impact for a smooth run. Even if they don’t mention on the specs, I think this treadmill has some degree of inclination which is very good as it lowers the impact on your knees. It is always good to run with at least 1% incline in a treadmill. Apart from that… the shock absorption is magnificent. Have a look at the video I posted because it speaks for itself.
Some additional considerations. I tried the Bluetooth Speaker and it works very well even though I do not use it on a daily basis as I prefer to watch TV instead.
So, this is why I give this treadmill a 5 star review. I have tried very hard to find some negative points as well as nothing is perfect in life. Just to be picky…
– I would say that the beeping sound when connecting the treadmill, changing the speed, start/stopping it is a bit too loud and you cannot change the volume of it. You will get used to it but is something to consider if you do not want to disturb others while using the machine at early hours.
– The phone holder is fine but it would make more sense to have a holder that could fit a tablet so you could watch a show in a bigger screen.
– I have not attached the handlebars as I don’t need them, but because you have to fix them with long screws it is a bit of a nonsense as you need to take them away to fold flat.
Now, I will add some PRO TIPS that I have not seen in other reviews.
– As you can see by the video and pictures I have this treadmill in a room with carpet. I’ve decided to buy some interlocking foam mat because I wanted to give some protection to the carpet and this will also help to reduce noise. In case you are interested these are the ones I went for https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019DZDM3O
– Stability of the treadmill is very important and don’t think that your floors are perfectly even because they are not. When I first set up the treadmill I used a Level to verify and found out that by just placing the treadmill on the mat it was pending more to one side. The good thing about this treadmill is that the feet are adjustable by turning them clockwise so you can make sure that you have a perfectly levelled treadmill. This is very important because you do not want to walk or run in an uneven surface as it will shatter your knees in no time.
– To improve even more the stability and the shock absorption of this treadmill I decided to purchase some shock absorbing pads that I have placed below the 6 feet’s of the treadmill. Check the pictures and video to see the performance. I find that this gives greater stability to the treadmill for running. Without these the treadmill would shake a lot (maybe because I am using it on carpet floor) and would make running more difficult for a not so wide deck. I went for these https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KPG1CWY
– Last but not least, when pairing the Bluetooth to try out the sound I could see 2 Bluetooth connections available: EsangAudio (for the sound) and EsangLinker. The second one made me think that possible there is an APP to use it even though is not mentioned anywhere. So I went to the APP store and searched for Esang (you need to search this word because by the app name it does not recognize it) and it came up with a few apps… all Chinese but with English language available. After looking at the different apps available I tried my luck with the one called Forrest (green icon) and I could pair it with the treadmill. It is not perfect as it still has some words in Chinese but you can use it and you can control the treadmill through there. It is definitively a plus that I was not expecting. I’ve tried also another one called EQiSports and it works as well.
It’s compact, very well designed for home use. It’s not suitable for bigger people, need to be very cautions while using, the hand bar not sturdy enough to stop falling from , especially heavy weight people. Bit noisy. Felt bit expensive
We ordered this as have very little room to have a regular treadmill set up all the time and this has to be put away every time it is used. It is a little heavy to move around however, the build and quality more than make up for it. Both my husband and I have been using it nearly every day since we got it and apart from having to adjust the belt, left to right, which is easy to do by the way, it has been working very well. Have recommended to friends.
just great and have music and film while i workou
Great treadmill. Mine arrived damaged but the customer service team were great and sent out a replacement for the damaged piece quickly. The only fault I’ve found is that the handle which locks in the bar is incredibly stiff and difficult to turn. This is more of an issue for me as I put mine up and down after each use.
In terms of the treadmill, it is a bit flimsy but operates perfectly well and considering the price, I think it is good value and would still rate it highly.
ive had this treadmill for just over a month now and i love it so easy to use
im only using this treadmill for fast walking (5.8km) and it is perfect for that but cannot comment on what it’s like to run on. It looks good, is easy to assemble, easy to use and the remote control is a great way of controlling the speed instead of reaching forward and manually bringing the speed up and down. My only criticism is that there is no pause button, so if you have to get off momentarily for any reason you cannot pause your workout. You either have to bring the speed down to a minimum of 1km and step off or press stop and then you lose the data of the workout you have done so far!
Having had a large treadmill in the past for running purposes I am pleased with the size of this one as it’s not big and bulky. I would recommend for walking purposes but cannot comment on what it’s like to run on!
I received treadmill few weeks ago and I love it. It has very modern design(we have a blue one) so looks like part of our interior rather than gym equipment.
I love built in speaker which lets u listen the music loud from your phone when walking or running.
Also phone holder is great idea. The maximum speed is even too much for me. I get sweaty when walking 5km/h for 40 mins. Running on speed 8-9km/h is enough for me. Display shows speed,time,cal burnt and distance so everything u need to know.
Treadmill is very quiet also. Highly recommend to everyone.
It’s good so far i do walking on treadmill
I like it helps when i can not go out for a walk
My initial order arrived with some damage to it from the transport but Dripe X were incredibly helpful and immediately worked with me to get a replacement treadmill delivered.
The service has been amazing.
The product itself is great. Surprisingly heavy but works well and is perfect as my under desk treadmill.
I ordered the blue treadmill which is a lovely colour
I think that the treadmill is of good quality it works nicely and goes through the speeds well
It is vey good at a walking speed 4.5 have not tried it at running speed
The treadmill folds well , only thing is if you need to use the handles that come with it they need to come off before it will fold flat and this needs an tool that is supplied but not quick to do
If you are stable enough to use Treadmill without the handles this wont be a problem
Great treadmill for home use… you dont need these fancy machines that cost 500+. This does the same thing if you just want to run or walk. Great product and at a great price..
Really pleased with the treadmill, took us about 30 mins to put together. We’re elderly so a younger eye could take less time. Quite heavy machine, so won’t be moving it about, but we’re really delighted with it’s working. Had a question for supplier, and have to say that Grace was so very helpful, and even checked in with us to make sure the matter was resolved.
Technically, I shall be more moderate. The running band is actually a thin band running over a wooden board, which I found disappointing and rudimentary for the price. However, good surprise, when walking or running, it feels natural and pleasant – afterall this is perhaps better than unnatural bouncing on a heavy duty band.
I personnaly find the band slightly short for running, having to be permanently focused on not drifting and being ejected. Hopefully this is a matter of getting used to it.
I do not think you can slip the treadmill as easily as advertised under your bed or sofa, because the rollers only roll one direction – longitudinally : it won’t roll sideway, and weight 70 pounds and has no grabbing point. It would be useful to share if there is a trick to slip in and out under a sofa or bed from the side.
As a conclusion the treadmill is expensive for it is, but you pay for the slim design that no other offers. The seller proved reliable.
An excellent product,before buying I did quite a lot of research because I wanted something compact but fit for purpose. This machine is excellent and I love it perfect for daily fast walks with some jogging and running . It is definately compact because after use I hide it upright in a cupboard I would highly recommend.
I found it easy to put 4 bolts and two screws in with the excellent tools supplied with it.
My wife and myself have already tried it out and think it is fabulous and very quite in operation and so neat and tidy with no sharp edges and a great safety device in case we stutter on our feet(hope not).
The displays are very clear and tidy with a simple remote control that the young ones would love (see no hands), but we must hold onto the well balance arms I’m sure.
By and large this product is well worth the 399.99 and should suit any age group.
Lastly if it improves our walking for health reasons it will have done it’s job well.
Really easy to assemble.
Very quiet.
Let the fitness begin.
Would recommend this
So my birthday is next week and I’ve been allowed to purchase this beautiful piece of machinery! The specs are huge… (Look at Argos if you don’t believe me?!)
And the best thing is .. fold and gone! It’s like it’s not even there… (Over exaggerating but you get what I mean!)
Flab fighting here we come!
