Very easy to ensemble even for me a 62 Yr old woman.. it is a little heavy but I manage to stand it up each day as no room under my bed .. easy to use so love it .
This treadmill is quite affordable for what it does, it is also practical. The only disadvantage is the squeaky sound it makes at occasions, but I try to avoid it by noise cancelling AirPods.
Great product, at a great price! Been using it every day. It’s very quiet and connect to both my watch & my phone. The Bluetooth speaker is decent quality and can be heard well even when moving at pace! Will need to understand the maintenance side of it soon. All in all, I love it & hope to use it a lot.
Firstly this arrived and is heavier than it looks. Two required for initial handling but after that it assembled easily and was manoeuvred into its desired position. Remote control with battery supplied and a dry run to check noise and performance. All good, noise no issue at all and whisper quiet. Set 10 minutes target and stepped on board pressing remote on buttton and it very gradually starts and slow walking before hiking up the rhythm to 4.3 and off it went. Bars steady and tread solid, a decent piece of kit and I was shattered after the ten minutes brought it to a slow stop.
This is quality from the packaging to the required included tools for assembly and actual performance. I bought this as walking outdoors in dark days and inclement weather dampened my enthusiasm for the great outdoor walk until spring. Use it several times a day and it is definitely a challenge. Not interested in running when the noise level increases and hopefully the negative responses in reviews I’ve read will not apply if I get 6 months use from it. Comes with 2 oil containers and the tread is positive and just right for walking.
Highly recommend for the price paid.
2) do some cardio training.
The order arrived quickly and promptly. I would suggest to use it on a lower floor or ask to be delivered on a top floor as it is quite heavy to maneuver.
It comes well packed and accommodated.
Easy enough to setup in walking mode as you only need to setup the emergency magnetic key, as without itbit won’t work and plug it in. Remote control works like a charm and has the basic functions to make it work when walking.
Setting it up for running mode needs you to screw the hand support ( if you need, it works without it).
The display contains all the basic and useful metrics. Speed, distance, steps and even a basic indicator of how hard your training is.
The belt comes relatively well lubricated but I would advise you to check and to lubricate of it requires ( check user manual for instructions ). It is quite silent compared with other treadmills of the same price range, specially on walk mode.
The only downside I’ve found was that on the first uses there was a noise that came from the belt skimming on the plastic in the front of the treadmill. I ended up adjusting the belt to deviate to the right and that improved it but it can be clearly seen that the gap is much narrower on the left side that is on the right and that made the belt to touch the plastic in that very narrow space causing the noise.
Another thing that could be improved is the Bluetooth speaker. The quality of the sound is a bit poor. Hopefully they could improve it in newer versions.
It has wheels on the front to move it around but the heavyweight and the shirt power cable makes it difficult to do big maneuvers.
Overall, it’s quite a good value for money treadmill. They often have discounts on the total price and that makes it an even better deal.
I have nothing but positive things to say about this Treadmill.
It folds away great. Easy to use and links with my Watch.
I have owned the device for about 2 weeks now and although I got it for myself to get fitter I have also found my Son using it every day in walking mode and my wife also using it when she gets home from work.
This is part to do with how easy it is to set and use.
I own a TicWatch Pro 5 and once linked as soon as I turn on the device it links to my watch and starts syncing the treadmill data with the tracking system on the watch too.
As I am trying to get fitter I find the speeds of the device fine for what I am looking to do running at around setting 10.0 for close to an hour without any issues.
The speaker on the device is very good although I have only used this twice as I tend to use my headphones due to using the machine at night when everyone is asleep.
The belt looks small and is small compared to normal-size machines but I have found no issues running on this one and also found the device quiet.
There are a few things to note regarding this device if you are looking at buying one. The power cable is short but I have loads of kettle leads from devices over the years that I just swapped to a bigger one.
The other thing to note is the foling part of the device can only be folded down if the arms are not attached so if you like me want to be able to use both modes or store it away then you will need to leave them off or unscrew then every time you want to fold it down.
Apart from that if you are looking for a treadmill that is easy to use, compact, and does not cost you a small fortune I would defo look at this one.
Needed a treadmill for quite some time but was reluctant to purchase due to the space it would take up. This is the perfect size and slots nicely in behind my sofas without being noticeable. The handy wheels means I can slide it out without any difficulty. As for the treadmill itself, it’s great and comfortable and has all the features you’d need for a good home run. The remote is handy aswell as the display. Would recommend!
Have been using it since March 3-4 times a week and have gone from being a complete beginner to running an hour. Folds perfectly, it’s stable and comfortable. No problems with it at all. 100% recommend.
The treadmil has some basic smart functions which are tailored to Android Wear OS smart watches. You have to download the Mobvoi running app and then the treadmill will sync your watches heart rate reading so that you can monitor it on the display of the treadmill. You watch also records your step count as well as a few other key bits of information. We could not find the app on the apple store so it appears not to be compatible with apple watches. The display on the treadmill is pretty informative, with a large bright display. You control the speed of the device using either a touchpad on the hold bar or via the included remote control. The device also has an emergency stop cord which you clip to your waist to auto stop the machine if you were too slip off. There is a small phone holder which you bolt onto the top of the handle frame, however there is no way for you to put a tablet/ipad into this holder as it does not open wide enough – i found this hugely dissapointing. There is also a bluetooth speaker build into the treadmil, so you can link it to your phone and play music via the device – it sounds ok, but i prefer headphones.
Runing and walking on the treadmill was comfortable, it has a nice cushion feel to it and didn’t hurt my knees like street running does. The speed range is good from a plesant slow walking pace to a fast run.
Now for the negatives, the instruction manual is very poor – it gives no guidence on the feature/functions and how to use these. There are coloured bars on the display which i could not even work out what they were for. There are no instruction on how to link your smartwatch and it did take me some time to work out how to get it all working. One major flaw of the device is the grab/stablity hold bars. If you bolt these onto the cross bar then you can not fold down the treadmil. You would need to unblot the two handle bars everytime you wanted to fold away the device. This in my opinion is a very silly design, the handles should fold away rather than being fixed into possition with bolts. I don’t have the space to leave a treadmill this size up in my home all the time, therefore i have had to remove the two handle bars as i really don’t have the time nor the patience to unblot them after every use.
In summary this is a very good treadmill let down by a poor user manual and the fact the handles can only really be used if you leave up the treadmill permenantly.
I hope that you found my review helpful.
I bought this when there was discount so it was even better value.
I wanted something to add to my home gym that required no set-up beyond just putting trainers on, and I could use before or after work watching TV.
The tread is short and narrow, so whilst you can run, it feels a bit restrictive given the surface area you have.
For me, it’s a great size to have a pretty brisk walk in the morning and evening and get the heart rate up.
It was very easy to build. It looks actually quite nice and the simple display is quite classy.
For the price, it’s worth 5 stars. Just bear in mind this isn’t a proper piece of gym kit but will allow you to get a bit sweaty in front of Netflix.
The Mobvoi is a well made and quality item. Set up is quick (I didn’t bother with the arms as I intend to fold when not in use) and the display is bright and large.
It has a pause feature (reading that some treadmills around this price point don’t) and the noise is as expected – not too bad at all.
It looks a lot more expensive than it is!
Bought it as I couldn’t manage time going to a gym or running outdoor due to work and childcare. After reading all the reviews (positive and negative) I decided to buy this product to try out. It arrived the next day, already assembled so didn’t do much to put it up and went for a quick run to test. Have to admit it is quiet and run smoothly.
After a few days I noticed that the running started yo deviate from the centre so I followed the (not very good written) instructions to adjust it back to the centre (using the screw provided) but it didn’t improve much. As soon as I got on and ran at a higher speed the bell started deviate again, until I found out that my floor is not very flat so I adjust the middle legs and it seems the bell stay at the centre. So far so good and quite please with the product. Read number of negative reviews and cautious that it may break after sometimes but so far it seems working in the right order. Would recommend to buy it, particularly if you live in a small house without much space and this could be the option.
It is quite heavy to move around but my recommendation is to find a place and leave it there as permanent place and only move it if needed as the legs have to be adjusted according to the floor.
I wanted a walking pad and so far this has not disappointed. I have even started couch to 5k and so have done a slow jog. I haven’t attached the handles as if I do I can’t see how it would fold away? It also weighs a ton so I haven’t tried to store it anywhere yet! But very impressed with the display and quality of the product.
I recently purchased this treadmill to help me get fitter and lose some weight.
When researching the market the Mobvoi Treadmill Pro was perfect. It is streamline, so easy to use at home, it fits neatly into the corner of any room, which means we can leave it standing out of the way and exercise daily, no excuses! The price point was great too, so now I can exercise guilt free in the comfort of my own home.
Storage:
When not in use it folds away and is flat enough to store under a bed or propped up against the wall.
It’s very simple to wheel it with the built in casters and move it into position.
The arm then can be unlocked with a simple lever and sturdily locked into place.
I’ve been impressed with how solid it is once unfolded and even though I’m close to the machines limit have not had any issues.
Functions:
Motivation has always been an issue for me and being a lover of tech I like the fact you can easily pair the phone with your watch and get all the information you need on that, this can then be synced to your favourite fitness app for tracking.
I also tried out the virtual training which uses the Bluetooth function to pair the device with your phone and you can then have the app control the treadmill and show you your stats. The phone bracket attached is nicely designed and hold the phone solidly in place.
If you aren’t using the phone you can control the speed using the buttons on the device which are nice and big and easily controlled whilst running.
There is also a remote included which is particularly useful if using in walking mode with the unit folded down.
For safety there is a quick release magnetic safety clip which stops the device if pulled off.
In summary I would recommend this product to anyone starting out on their exercise journey. Great price and great product. Thanks Mobvoi
The answer is yes, I just needed something to get my body moving to help with my arthritis and this does it simply and effectively
I have a watch made by the same manufacturer and it synced immediately after I’d installed the treadmill app and my times and performance were all recorded and synced.
It is very heavy, presumably because the electric motor is very powerful and it took two of us to get it upstairs. Once unboxed though there are wheels at the heavy end to move it on a flat surface with ease.
There are arms you can fit, but if you want to fold it flat you have to remove them so I’ve not bothered. It also restricts the speed if folded flat for under desk walking which seems sensible.
It comes with a good selection of workouts that start very gently and move up in difficulty from there, nice to see.
It’s very quiet to use and you can rest a phone or tablet on a little stand, which is the only thing that about it which I’d say could be improved. It works, but just doesn’t look and feel of the same quality as the rest of the product.
All in all a great product, just what I needed and now have no excuses for not exercising whatever the weather.
I’ve looked at Treadmills before and always been put off by their bulk and how difficult they are to store when not in use. I decided on this one following an email from Mobvoi about the TicWatch I already own and how they can be linked to automatically track your workout using the health sensors in the watch as part of your exercise routine. Now I’m usually sceptical about these kinds of things but I have to say they really do work together VERY well, literally download the app on your watch, accept a few permissions and away you go it’s that simple.
The treadmill itself comes really well packaged and the Amazon delivery drivers even offered to bring it into the house for me. Opening it up I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of “assembly required”, you can take it out of the box plug it in and get going. Although if you do want to attach the accessories (arms and phone holder) you have the tools included to do this quicky and easily.
So on to operation… The inbuilt programs/workouts are pretty standard but easily selected allowing for a reasonable choice of workout if you want to do something more than just get on and run, which if I’m honest is my go-to way of exercising. The noise factor I had been warned about when looking for a treadmill is nowhere near as loud as I was expecting, it is absolutely within the range of being able to have the TV on at the same time as taking a run without it needing to deafen the entire house, even with our wooden floors the noise is really quiet.
Storing the treadmill is really easy, there is a quick release lever which unlocks the support/safety rail to fold it flat and whilst this is tight to operate it does give a real strength to the rail that you would want. As mentioned, if you want to fold it flat you will need to leave off the side “arms” but these don’t really add anything for me so they have stayed off mine. Folded flat you can actually still use the treadmill but only at a 4km/h walking pace, which my wife likes to use when working from home with her standing desk so a real bonus there.
Small considerations:
* If you like me want to fold it away or use it without the safety bar up then you need to use tools to remove the arms (or leave them off, like I have), so it’s not quite as quick to pack away like that.
* Would be nice to be able to change the distance/speed to miles/mph as that is the way I am used to running (distance in miles), but it’s not a show stopper.
Over all though, I’m very happy with my purchase and would happily recommend the T4000 to anyone looking for an easy to store easy to use treadmill.
The treadmill was pretty easy to assemble and didn’t take us too long. It’s sturdy too. I’ve only ever used a treadmill in the gym and they’re really big and bulky but this is nice and compact but doesn’t wobble or move about when walking/jogging. It’s foldable too but ours is in the garage so no need to store it away but would be handy if it was in a bedroom. There are wheels on one end which has been handy for moving it around to get the right spot for it in the garage.
I generally start off walking to get warmed up and then pick up the speed to a fast walk then to a jog. I usually wait until my daughter has gone to bed and found that this is pretty quiet so doesn’t wake her up which is a bonus. My husband has even started using it too. I’m 5’9 and he’s 5’10 and we find the length of the belt pretty good for our heights.
We got the black one and it looks really good. There’s a phone stand in the middle above the control panel which is great for holding your phone and you can connect it to the built in speaker. The control panel is really simple to use. Big buttons are easy to press when you are jogging. Your stats come up on the screen in front of you and there’s also a small screen at the front of the belt which is handy if you’re looking down to see your stats. You also get a small handy remote control which you can use if you want but I generally just use the buttons in front of me.
I’m really pleased with the treadmill and feel like it’s sturdy and can handle what we’re throwing at it and it’s a lot cheaper than other options we were looking at which didn’t have as good a spec as this one.
Running, walking what ever you want!
I love this, keep it under the bed and pull it out when i need 🙂
highly recommended!
When you try to use it as a walking pad with the handle set as down, it turns off after 5 mins; so you need to constantly keep starting it up again (I think it’s because the handle has touchscreen controls on it, and the floor causes it to turn off?)
Product comes with a remote to turn it on/off, and adjust the speed. However you can adjust this on the pull up handle too, which is good!
It’s not too heavy; i’m a 5ft 2″ lady, and I can manoeuvre it around my office pretty easily! So it’s easy to put out and set-up.
You can play music through the treadmill via Bluetooth connection from your phone, but the speaker is subpar; I wouldn’t recommend using the speakers unless you have no other alternatives.
I would recommend this product as a great budget treadmill!
Great to excercise at your own pace ,can put your phone on and watch TV or listen to music while your using this ,just what I wanted .worth the money .
Got this delivered in 2 days, unpacked and installed in 10-15 mins.
Folds easily, lightweight. One slight issue with folding is the handle bars won’t fold.
The design should consider folding handlebars.
I do half marathon and marathons, so generally a good speed runner.
Managed to do 10k on 2nd run. Works really well. My partner started using this and now she runs 3k comfortably.
I would highly recommend for beginners and anyone who has space limitations.
Works great, not noisy the only issue I have is that it’s heavier than thought so it can be a struggle to keep getting out to assemble. Apart from that very happy with purchase.
The Mobvoi Home Treadmill really is brilliant. Easy to build and setup, it was going within 20minutes. So compact, folds and slides under the bed, taking up no room at all and eliminating the potential of it becoming an expensive clothes horse (like my exercise bike). Adjusting the speed via the remote or machine itself is so responsive and it is insanely quiet. The Bluetooth speaker is an excellent addition, superb crystal clear sound. It connects seamlessly to various running apps via phone or smart TV, helping to motivate and provide variety for a running experience. being 6ft, I was concerned about a shorter tread but I needed have been. I can go from a leisurely walk to a full sprint without worrying about the length of my stride. All in all, a fab piece of kit that meets all my needs without taking up space in my home.
The Mobvoi Home Threadmill Pro did not disappoint at all.
Delivery was quick and to assemble it up was so easy. The wheels at the front ensures that moving it from place to another is not a burdensome task.
I have been working from home for over two years now and with physical activitivies is lacking, it was time to find a way to get active again and I wanted a not too expensive, not too big and decent threadmill.
I am a happy onwer of different Mobvoi products (earbuds, wrist watches etc) and when I saw the Mobvoi Home Threadmill Pro during my search for a threadmill, I was quick to order one and I must confess, I am not disappointment one bit.
It doesn’t take up too much space and can be moved around or stored away easily if need be.
Ability to connect to bluetooth speaker on the threadmil was good. Speakers are not the best but at the right volume, it does the job well.
The threadmill is sleek and smooth and does not make much noise apart from the sound of running feet.
Overall, everything is superb on the threadmill and I am so glad I chose Mobvoi again.
Entering the market of treadmills was actually quite daunting. Different modes, different features, portability/moveability… Then I found this one! Made by Mobvoi, a brand I trust, this treadmill had everything I was looking for. Seemed a no brainer!
Ordered via Amazon as it is my preferred marketplace, I was told delivery was 7 – 10 days. By day 3 I had tracking information, by day 4 it had arrived! Delivery was perfect, delivery guys bringing a very heavy package up my stairs and into my flat. Faultless service.
Unboxing was a doddle, well packaged and easy to assemble without the instructions. Not much too it really, 6 screws, tools included. A quick read through the manual anyway, to cover off the safety and maintenance aspect (I didn’t know if it needed wearing in or anything).
Firstly, setup in my living room to test. Plugged in and clipped the safety stap on and was greeted by a array of lights and a speaker telling me Bluetooth mode was enabled. The manual says to start the treadmill with nothing on the belt and then start walking, which I did – Perfect.
Increased the speed manually over a period of 10 minutes and got to around 8.5 before I was out of puff. Realised how unfit I was. Then the wife saw what had bought. Gulp. She was a little disapproving, but was keen to try herself. Yep, she certainly is fitter than me! Then ensued the conversation of where this treadmill was going to go. I live in a 2 bedroom flat, with two children and space is a premium. Yet, with this treadmill, having the ability to lower the frame down means it can be stored without issue and without blocking access to other furniture when not in use.
We then moved the treadmill to it’s final permanent location (bedroom) and I have decided to use the treadmill for 30 minutes each morning. Now, leaving in an upstairs flat, I was concerned about the noise for my fellow flat downstairs. Nothing. They hear nothing. The motor is really quiet with the only relative noise being the footsteps of running.
During the almost month I have owned this treadmill I have used to each and every day without fail. Now able to complete a 30minute period without running out of puff to much!
The feature set is perfect – You can select between 20 pre-set programs, each offering their own unique set of speeds during the timeframe. You can set just a “time”, in which you can manually adjust the speed (and this treadmill even includes a remote to adjust the speed!) You can select “KM’s”, so you can run for a certain amount of KM’s, or “Calories” to burn a set amount of calories. You can also use the treadmill as a walking treadmill – Ideal if you have a standing desk. Simply remove the bar and away you go.
The information provided is informative, the screen is colourful, easy to understand and uses basic colours so you can work out what is going on quickly. A second screen is near the speaker, which allows you to see real basic information (speed and step count) quickly if you are looking down.
The safety strap is as you would expect – Snaps the motor within 1 second of the magnet being pulled. Very nice, very quick and I have enough trust that I have let my eldest child start to use the treadmill (under supervision) without worry.
As it’s a Mobvoi treadmill, it actually embeds into my TicWatch Pro perfectly, with a companion app. Once installed, the treadmill and watch instantly pair and displays my heartrate on the treadmill. It records the session and then imports that into my app on my phone which shows my activity. The phone holder perfectly holds my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, which is quite a big phone and then while the inbuilt bluetooth speaker isn’t anything to boast about, it’s perfect the the use.
The manual is perfect – Teaching how to adjust the belt, keeping the treadmill is perfect working order, safety tips, warm up instructions (for yourself, not the treadmill). Was quite a good read once to help me get settled into something I had never ventured into before.
Small things I would change:
– adjust the “KM’s” to “Miles”. Being in the UK, I would rather be able to look at the milage I have run in miles, not KM’s.
– A little more information on the pre-programmed sessions
– Although you can lower the “frame”, the arms are fixed. This could be improved by making the arms quick released so the treadmill can be stored completely flat (see pictures)
Overall, a perfect treadmill that I would highly recommend for all beginners to use, or professionals looking for a small, compact treadmill to fit smaller properties without room.
Another amazing function on the treadmill, is you can pause running or walking activity and resume from where you have stopped. The step counting on the display is also brilliant, the treadmill helps to meet 10,000 daily steps target. It is so amazing how you could easily store it away under the sofa.
The inbuilt Bluetooth speaker is also great, you can listen to music while running or walking.
If you are looking for a simple and compact treadmill, Mobvoi treadmill will not let you down.
This is the upgrade of my reebok bike. this is the Mobvoi treadmill pro version, it arrived on time as scheduled, and I am using this, for now, one week, the product is really very good quality build and it comes with almost assembled. only handled bars are there to assemble. I will recommend to anyone to buy this Machine on the basis of the following features.
– Quality: very strong built quality, unlike some lightweight and cheap quality
-Price: the company has kept a very low-profit margin as compared to other machines,
– Performance: very quiet silent motor and run very smoothly.
– Display/looks: The display of the digital monitor is so good like the colors and brightness. all required features are built like distance, speed, etc. please download an app called “Mobvoi treadmill”. for fully utilizing the Bluetooth function and syncing to your smartwatch.
– size: very easy to fold and store in under your furniture.
I will add some more comments next week after using further exercise features.
It is very simple to just hop on the treadmill and start walking, you simply turn it on, set to the speed you would like and start walking. It records the distance, number of steps etc.
The machine quiet compared to other treadmills I’ve used. You can play music through the speakers, which is great as personally I prefer this to the use of earphones and I can then hear others around me when needed and the door!
I like that you don’t have to have the frame of the tread mill up in walking mode as I store it under and sofa so it is quick and easy to get out and put after after.
Over all a great treadmill for the price, I’m very pleased with it.
I would recommend to anyone looking for a treadmill to purchase this one
Basic mechanics look the same, but with considerable improvements to the noise, display and integration features. It is very quiet now (previous version wasn’t that loud to begin with), and the new display is a great addition, allowing you to track the usual speed and time, as well as accurately count steps and (when synced with your Wear OS watch) your heart rate.
The sync to watch feature means the workout is automatically (and accurately) linked to your fitness tracker app (mine is Google Fit), overcoming one of the annoying issues of a treadmill run / walk not being accurately tracked in fitness apps automatically or accurately.
The previous version held up really well, being used 3-4 times a week and living the rest of its life folded up under the sofa. This is of as good or better build quality, being solid and well made but also not too large or heavy to be moved around on your own. Putting it up or down is a very simple, quick and effortless process.
It does an excellent job, and great value, whether you choose use it as a walker or running treadmill when the weather is grim outside.
Below are the things that impressed me most and some points that could be improved on.
Pros:
– Easy setup. This treadmill was really easy to get out of the box and sync to my phone. It was just a few simple steps which made the process less stressful.
– Size of belt. I found that the belt size you have to run on was nice and wide, so I didn’t have to worry too much where I was stepping.
– Bluetooth speakers. These are great sounding speakers. These were great motivators for me and at no point did the connection drop and they never sounded flat.
– Storage. This treadmill is so easy and practical. I am storing it underneath my sofa. Whenever I want to use it, I just need to flip the arms up and plug it in.
– Modes. So, with me being an absolute beginner I found it good that there were not too many different modes to choose from. I know this could be an issue for some but for me it was ideal.
– Sync to my TicWatch. I own a TicWatch Pro 3 and the data was synced straight to my Mobvoi app. I found great to track my results and give me targets.
Cons:
– Power cable. It was a little on the short side which meant I had to make sure I was close enough to a socket which wasn’t always easy.
– Remote control. Sometimes this was a little unresponsive but could have just been me.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this unless you are a hardcore runner after feature rich modes.
It has two different modes, one that’s perfect for keeping under my standing desk, and that allows me to walk at a slow pace as I’m working, and so far I’ve found the speed to be ideal for me to be able to focus on my work and not have any issues falling off or losing balance. I’ve included a video showing the walking speed at 2, which is 1 above the minimum speed.
It also has a second mode that allows it to go faster when you fold the arm bar up, as seen in some of the photos. I’ve not needed to attach the hand rests yet, but you can attach those if you prefer more to hold onto. The speeds in this mode are ideal for jogging and keeping fitter with a faster pace. It’s super easy to fold the arm bar up and it isn’t heavy at all.
Overall, I definitely recommend this treadmill for anyone wanting to get fitter, especially if you work from home and want a walking pace as well as the option of faster paced workouts. It’s brilliant, well worth the money!
The item itself seems good for the money – nice and simple, a good floor read-out. Good for walking and jogging, reaching some decent speeds. No incline but that ain’t a problem for me personally. One negative is that sometimes the + and – buttons on the console don’t seem quite as responsive as they should be. The remote can be used for this but then you are jogging holding it because if you put it on the phone holder the vibrations cause it to fall off. There was a screw missing from the back of the remote which Amazon quickly sorted. In summary a good item – glad I bought it.
I chose this treadmill for the dimensions and specifications plus, as I said previously, the Mobvoi brand which I trust.
I was pleasantly surprised the delivery men helped me take it upstairs and to the desired room where it is installed now. The good part is that if you do not want to install the handlebars, you just need to take it out of the box, plug it in and you are good to go.
It has 2 “running” modes: Walking Mode up to 4 km/h and Running Mode up to 12 km/h. Initially I could not see the necessity of having a walking mode, but I realised I can have it slightly under my standing desk, for example, doing some work and exercising.
Moving it around or storing it away is also easy thanks to the straightforward way it folds (just a single folding handle), low weight and the 2 wheels it has at the front.
It is sturdy, does not wobble at all, and the noise level is more than OK. Running at max speed (12 Km/h) is something that I do not do often and just as an FYI you make more noise running at that speed than it does.
It comes with 2 bottles of lubricant for regular maintenance (all treadmills need it), remote control, 2 optional handlebars, phone stand and tools for these extras to be attached.
I have not attached the handlebars because I go from running mode to walking mode quite often. You cannot fold it all the way down when it has the handlebars attached, so keep that in mind.
Controlling the treadmill is done either via the touchscreen on the folding arm or the remote. You will need the remote when in walking mode because after folding you will not have access to the touch screen anymore.
The main display shows you the speed, distance, calories burned and time on the treadmill. The display is clearly visible in both running and walking modes. Next to the display is the Bluetooth speaker that has a decent quality sound so, if you enjoy music and you do not want to use your mobile speaker(s) or headphones, you have that option.
It comes with a safety clip that you can attach to yourself (pants for example) and in case you fall or slip off it shuts down immediately.
After using it daily for about a week or so in both modes, I can say I am a happy customer.
It was really easy to assemble. I think it’s quite heavy, but I’m 5″3 and a woman. This just meant I needed help getting it upstairs. It’s fine to wheel around once it’s on the right floor.
I’ve only taken the speed up to 6 as I only use it for walking and light jogging. I love the remote and how easy it is to change the speed while you’re using it. I did find it a little noisy at first, but once I started using earphones to listen to my music or TV show that wasn’t an issue.
The belt has slipped a bit, so I’ve had to adjust it a few times, but I wouldn’t count that as a huge inconvenience. Overall, I’d really recommend this treadmill.
The treadmill is relatively heavy on delivery so a two-man approach to initial move and placement is recommended (at least it was for me to save my back!) — my package was carried around the back of the house to the annexe by the delivery drivers and left in the right area for me to unpack which was great.
Packaging was substantial to protect the contents and when I opened the box, all was in place, undamaged and ready to carefully lift out and put in place in my home gym area.
One key criterion for me was a treadmill that was substantial enough for daily use but also relatively easy to move out of the way when more space is required — this is certainly covered by my new purchase. There are wheels underneath the front of the treadmill to ease moving it in and out of place, these work well, and it really is easy to move this machine out of the way if you need to. Initial placement for me is in my annexe where I keep other gym equipment — I may move the treadmill into my office at some point if I decide to try the walking desk idea (and it could slide under my seated desk when not in use in this scenario).
I would certainly describe this treadmill as compact in comparison to some other devices I looked at and I liked the way it could be used as a walking platform with the arm folded away or lift and fix the arm in place and it looks and feels more like a traditional running machine. As I mentioned, in folded position, I am considering setting up a walking desk so I can work and walk at the same time which I think would work well.
I have slightly dodgy knees so most of my aerobic exercise is undertaken at a maximum of fast walking pace. This treadmill goes up to a maximum of between 7 and 8 mph I believe which is more than enough for me. One other comment is that (particularly given my knees), the roller is very comfortable to walk or run on with a nice, cushioned feel to it.
I like the idea of the remote control and use it almost every time I’m on the treadmill — though there are built in controls when you have the front arm in place, I just find it easier to have the control in my pocket ready to use.
The roller when running is surprisingly quiet and feels powerful enough for any use I am likely to put to the test. The only thing missing for me I guess is the option to introduce an incline on the belt — but this I suppose is a sacrifice made in order to make this as slimline and easy to move as it is, so it’s not a major compromise given the use I will be putting the treadmill to.
There are built in Bluetooth speakers and once your phone or tablet is paired, these work pretty well for such small units. That said I generally like a more immersive experience and almost always use my wireless headphones when exercising — but it’s nice to know they are there if needed.
My daughter is more of a runner than me and has loved using our new home treadmill over the last week or so, she had nothing but good things to say — in fact the only issue might be not being able to use it exactly when I want if she is hogging it!
My conclusion: I love this treadmill, it ticks all the boxes for me — well priced, substantial but easy to move, good size without taking up too much space (let’s call it compact), feels like it will last well, stylish (if a treadmill could be considered stylish!), convertible (from walking to running machine). If I had to choose again, I’d choose exactly the same device unless I was going to spend substantially more money – so my take is that you won’t regret purchasing this treadmill and will no doubt enjoy plenty of time on the roller!
My main criteria:
– Relatively quiet
– Compact storage
– A Range of speed settings
I chose this one after spending wayyyyy too much time analysing reviews far and wide. It has not disappointed. I love it! I use it daily! I assembled it myself in no time – there was basically no assembly required other than the optional phone holder. I chose not to attach the arms as you need to detach them to fold it away – which I do frequently.
It folds down so easily, and can be stored flat or vertically. I responds quickly to the remote and has a huge range of speeds for both walking and running. With a headset on I can even use it while on phone & zoom calls without any sound being transmitted.
The ONLY reason I’m not giving it a 5 is this:
1) I’m just under 5’4, I do not have long legs. I can just about do “long” power walking strides with this belt length but I imagine that anyone over 5’8 perhaps might find it constricting.
2) I doesn’t have incline, which I was aware of before I purchased it, but still would have been great.
3) I would have been nice if the arms didn’t need to be detached to fold it away.
With all that being said, I could not be happier, especially given the price point. Would recommend.
After 20 hours of use, I would say we are happy with our decision to have this tread mill. Per my wife feedback, she did 20 miles run on the machine last week and felt machine performance superb just like any pro machine in the Gym. This is certainly reliable alternate for those who love to complete their workout routine regularly without the known/unknown hassles.
I must say, Machine installation was super straight that was the beginning of happy moments!!! Once taken out from the box simple intuitive steps such as identifying the space where machine should be placed, attentive look at the treadmill manual completed the machine assembly in just about 15-20 mnts (ideally it needs two people as its heavy and at the same time care has to be applied while grounding it properly).
Few of the observation which is good to mention:
* The ease with which you can unfold the machine. It couldn’t be easier to change it from a folded position to a ready to run position. A bonus is that you can use it as a walking machine when folded.
* Once you turn the machine on, you are reminded to use the safety clip which is good. The operations are very easy; the dashboard has a start stop button, 12 speed indicators and a speed +- button on the right. On the base is a nice clear display alternating between speed, time and calories.
* Another lovely feature of this machine is the Bluetooth connection to your phone and remote for speed change with switch on switch off function. You can easily connect the phone ad play music through the machine speaker. The machine itself is surprisingly quiet and so you can hear the music. The phone itself can be held in a holder on top of the main dashboard.
* Running on this machine is a delight though some of the speed control initially was not clear to my wife and daughter, however they looked through the machine and manual and picked it up. This machine does not have incline levels as we normally see in the Gym(I will not compare this machine with Gym Treadmills), this certainly cannot be deterrent to any one’s workout routine. Machine gives a good firmness underfoot with just enough bounce to go easy on your joints. Besides the feeling of tiredness, she has not reported any other aches or muscle pain. That’s a huge contrast to running/brisk walking outdoors where she normally spends the next day recovering.
Last but not least, the machine looks modest wherever it is placed such as bedroom/living room or conservatory space. I’d say it’s a good balance between a well-built, sturdy machine and a light weight, easily foldable machine. It’s step on and run machine with speed change as and when needed.
Finally I can summarize that with the given price and comparison made with home treadmill machines, It touched upon all my criteria such as foldable, stable and well built, and an EXCELLENT price. Highly recommend to those who have been through the tough period of pandemic restriction without any attendance to the gym. Only few bits i would love to see as extra’s Incline levels and Big display screen. Hope, Mobvoi will work this out in its next gen machine.
Overall, an excellent running machine for fitness!!
Some criteria for my search was that I didn’t have a huge budget, needed something that could handle my size (I’m 6’2″ and quite a big build), and it had to be foldable – I don’t have the room to keep it out. I choose the Mobvoi because it seemed to hit all of these criteria.
First thing I noticed about the machine when it arrived in the box was the weight. Sure, it’s not exactly light, but it definitely isn’t too heavy. I was alone when get delivery and I managed quite easily to get it in the house and upstairs. Having said that, I would recommend 2 man carry this if you can.
I opened the box (see video) and was struck straight away by the build quality. It’s a very well made machine and looks really cool. The machine is mostly assembled to so no complications there. Just a few extra bits in a bag that you can easily attach, such as a phone holder and arm supports.
I LOVED the ease with which you can unfold the machine. It couldn’t be easier to change it from a folded position to a ready to run position. An added bonus is that you can use it as a walking machine when folded.
Once you turn the machine on, you are reminded to use the safety clip which is good. The operations are very easy; the dashboard has a start stop button, 12 speed indicators and a speed +- button on the right. On the base is a nice clear display alternating between speed, time and calories.
Another lovely feature of this machine is the bluetooth connection to your phone. You can easily connect the two and play music through the machine speaker. The machine itself is surprisingly quiet and so you can actually hear the music. The phone itself can be held in a holder on top of the main dashboard.
Running on this machine is a delight. It gives a really good firmness underfoot, but also just enough bounce to go easy on your joints. I run on this machine and apart from feeling tired, don’t feel any other aches or muscle pain. That’s a huge contrast to running outdoors where I normally spend the next day recovering.
The controls are very easy to use and I must say, the remote is a really nice bonus. At first I thought, ‘why would I need a remote when the button is right in front of me’, but It’s actually so much easier to use the remote and hold it in your hand.
The machine is unobtrusive in the room. I’d say it’s a good balance between a well built, sturdy machine and a light weight, easily foldable machine.
Before I finish though, I have to mention a few nags;
– the speed control. I really thought the 12 indicators on the dash were buttons to quickly change the speed; they are not. They are just indicators. After trying to press them as buttons a few times, I had to check the instructions to discover this. Sadly, this is a negative for me as I do a lot of HIIT running and need to change speeds from fast to moderate very quickly. Having said that, I must say that the speed does change very quickly (but safely) when you hold the speed buttons down.
– the remote connection. During your run, it does feel like occasionally there is a disconnect between the machine and the remote. This may be a fault with my machine, time will tell, but it is a problem as if you are using the remote as your primary control device and you go to change speed down or turn it off and it isn’t connected, that’s a problem and you end up scrambling to press the button on the dashboard.
– no pre-set programs. This isn’t such a big problem for me as I don’t really use them, but some may want to run a pre-set pattern like on the gym machines. This is just a get on a run machine, with only speed changed.
– Connecting arms with bolts – this may be really picky, but one thing I really love about this machine is how easily foldable it is. However the extra arms, which I usually like to have, are attached with bolts. It’s not that they are particularly hard to attach, but to me it is in contrast to quickly folding, to have to stop and detach/attach items. So I ended up just leaving the arms off which I must say, is absolutely fine.
Those are really nitpicky negatives because I have to say, I can’t recommend this machine enough. It really is impressive. It hit all my criteria, foldable, stable and well built, and an EXCELLENT price.
My final summary is to say that for any casual to average runner would find this to be the perfect machine. If you are doing couch to 5k or just try to keep in shape with the odd run – you will LOVE it.
If you are a more serious runner, who does HIIT like me, or pre-set programs you would probably still love this, but need to just consider those points I raised.
Overall, an excellent running machine for a great price. Highly recommended!
