Echelon Stride Treadmill , Smart Foldable, 300 Lb Capacity, Motorized Incline, Comfortable Air Cushioning Deck , Elevate Home Workouts, Easy Storage, USB Charging Port + 30-Day Free Membership

Adding that I have had this treadmill for a year and a half and use it 4-5 times a week and it continues to work perfectly. The 10 incline for speed walking is an excellent workout. I don't think heavy use for running is what this product is generally intended for. Like many buyers of this treadmill, I wanted something compact and moveable. This treadmill is both. It is also well-made and stable. I am a former runner with arthritis so I am now a incline speed walker. I wanted a treadmill with an incline to get a good walking workout. I am 5''5" and under 120lbs so this is a perfect product for a user of my profile. I think it would be fine for a lower-mileage runner (3-4 miles 4-5 times a week) within my size range. Someone over 6' would probably find it short; over 160lbs or so might find it a bit unstable for running but probably fine for walking. I LOVE IT. I will say that I do not use the class programing so can't rate that and it's not the best cushioning given how compact/moveable. But as a person with hip pain it still works fine for me(with good footwear). If you want something for low-impact use or great incline walking that is not a gigantic piece of equipment in your small space, I really recommend this. Great for the price.

So far, this is a very classy and well-built machine. No regrets. Are there some quirks and needs for improvement? Yes. But not any more than all the other ones I considered. The "on" noise is too loud and not adjustable (but is only on for a quick second). It could be a tad cushy to walk on (some "shock," because there isn't any). I'm not sure the heart monitor is accurate. The warranty sucks (so does my expensive fridge and vacuum cleaners, though). That's for starters. But, for the main functions it's great and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that it folds all the way down instead of standing up slanted and awkward. WELL WORTH THE PURCHASE and I hope I don't have any warranty issues (how do you even send it back lol)!

Loved this treadmill when we first purchased it last year. Easy set up and folds down flat is definitely a plus. Unfortunately I haven't really been able to use it for a while. It started randomly coming to a stop while I was on it, which is jarring and kind of dangerous depending on the speed. We contacted customer service and they initially thought it was a problem with the button panel so they sent us a replacement but that did not fix the problem. Once we were able to get video of the problem (difficult as it was happening randomly anywhere from 1 min to 40 min) we opened up a new customer service ticket on October 3rd. They told us the complaint has been "escalated" but we have not heard anything back. We've sent videos, serial numbers, receipts. Etc. We've been trying to follow up via phone and email but keep receiving the same response that the it is still in process. My husband even attempted to open a new ticket with customer service so someone would actually respond but it was almost immediately deleted from their system. It seems like we are being ghosted and how convenient as we bought it on November 1st of last year so technically we are outside of the year warranty now. I'm hoping leaving this review will catch the attention of someone from Echelon. If someone will actually communicate with us and offer to fix/replace the treadmill I will be happy to edit this review. As it stands right now I am a very unhappy customer.

So first, this thing is crazy heavy. It claims its 156lbs, but it took both me and my husband to get it up the stairs. (He's a construction worker used to lifting heavy things, and he said never again. Guess it's staying if we ever move) If it had just been me, it would have stayed on the front porch. So definitely pay the extra to have it delivered to a room of your choice if you dont have any strong people handy to help out. Also definitely use the included straps if you plan on storing it standing up. This could kill someone if it fell on them, especially children. It is heavy to lift upright, and not stable at all. The treadmill otherwise is pretty nice. It goes up in small increments, so if you want to walk very slowly, you can. The incline capability is nice and also goes up in small increments. (I dont run because of my knees, so idk how good it is for full out running) My polar H10 heart rate monitor hooked up automatically, and there is a readout on the left for it. There's a calorie readout on the right, but really those things are just a guess. There was a huge sticker on it saying you need the app for this to work, that was bull, it works without one just fine. It comes with a free month trial, but I dont really want to use that, so I don't know if that's any good. I just wanted a basic treadmill with a few extras, and that what this is. Is it worth the price? Well, if it lasts for a decade like my last one (not echelon brand), then yes. Dont force the rails down when you store it, they are automatic after you push the red lever on the left. Just lean them over and gravity does the rest. Things I'm not a fan of: the only way to turn it off and on is a switch on the front bottom, where the cord plugs in. I wish it had a rest mode ot something on the display. Also, when you turn it on, it makes an ungodly noise very loudly through the speaker. It hurts my ears. I don't know why they decided that was a good choice. Its a solid four star treadmill. If anything should change about that I will update my review.

The box was delivered on time and placed in my house where I needed it. I opened the box and looked for the customery bag with screws, washers and instructions. Didn't find one. I did find a plastic bag with instructions, red safety device and an allen key. How do I assemble it? It is totally un-American and definitely not male to read the instructions. But I did. There is nothing to assemble. Stand the unit up, take off the plastic. Set the unit down and raise both arms until they lock. Raise the arm rest until they click. Raise the tablet holder and you are done. I took one star off for maneuverability because it is heavy and the wheels don't like carpet. My first walk was great. Very smooth, speed was responsive as was the incline. Much quieter than I thought it would be. Durability remains to be seen, but the construction leads me to believe it will be good. Since it is microprocessor controlled a surge protector is a good idea I'm 71 years old and was able to set it up, so it must be easy One month later and everything is great. It gets used 3 times a day. Very smooth acceleration and deceleration, still very quiet. Really enjoying using the treadmill About 2 weeks ago I started to hear a noise from the front of the machine that sounded like dry bearings. I took the front cover off and carefully removed the bearing shield. The bearing did not have much grease. I used an old syringe to inject synthetic grease into the bearing. If you try this do not use much grease. I replaced the bearing seal, it snaps back in place. I did the other side the same way. I made sure to wipe away any excess grease and double check that the bearing seals were in place. Ran the machine to max speed for 1 minute to distribute the grease. Put the cover back on. Now it runs smoothly with no bearing noise.

Quick assembly, sturdy build, amazing value for your money, noise level was good, extremely easy to tuck away in store

Alright, to be totally honest, I hate running on a treadmills. Like legitimately, it is my favorite nonpreferred activity. All that aside, this treadmill met every one of my criteria when looking for a new one. The simple fact that I can fold a full function treadmill flat and store it against the wall in my office is by far the biggest selling point for me. I did A LOT of research. I looked at Nordictrack, Proform, Sole, Horizon, and Peloton, but my biggest gripe is that they ALL took up so much friggin' space, even if they folded. Now don't get me wrong, the Stride interface is a very basic since it was designed to be used with the app (keep reading for more on this). However, please don't let that be a deterrent because it definitely can hold its own when put through it's paces. I am 6'3" and 170 lbs and have a very long stride. Although, the track for this treadmill is a little bit shorter, I don't feel limited at all. The acceleration feels sluggish at times when changing speeds, but I think that is an even trade when I consider the compact nature of the treadmill. The incline feature is clutch in my opinion too. Both speed and incline are easy adjusted using the handle bar controls. I also didn't buy the Echelon app membership since its not required when you purchase through Amazon. I actually use the Peloton app when I run simply because it is cheaper. Perhaps if Echelon comes up with a $9.99/month subscription like I get through Peloton I'd switch. Definitely not bashing on Echelon, just like the lower price point of the other app. Overall, I love this treadmill and think that if you're looking for one that has all the function of a regular treadmill, but also don't want it to take up too much space, this is the one for you.

I did a lot of researching of treadmills before choosing this one. I did not want one of the screens with fancy programs but did want a sturdy treadmill. I love the screen on this as it has just the info I need. The tablet holder works great for my laptop and if you want to use their app for workouts I'm sure it would be great with a tablet. The phone and cup holder work well. Another reason I chose this one was so I could fold it up if needed, it is easy to do and I like how narrow it is when folded. It is pretty quiet except for the loud beep when you turn it on. The treadmill seems sturdy and is easy to get going on. There are preset programs, but I am just doing things manually. Very easy to change speed and the incline with the buttons on the handle. The delivery and set up was a breeze. They very nice delivery folks brought it into our room - with getting the inside delivery. Essentially no set up, just had to get it out of the box. Very glad I chose this one, was exactly what I wanted and I've used it every day since I got it.
