 Love it! Jan 30, 2010
First, I want to commend CEVA, the shipping company who delivered my treadmill. The guys were scheduled between 4 and 7pm, and called me at 3:30 to ask what time was best for me. I stated 4pm, and they were there precisely at 4. They were courteous, professional and efficient, and they were careful not to scar my walls or floors as they brought it in. I simply could not have been happier. Bravo CEVA!!!!
Second, I love this treadmill. It took me a about an hour and a half to set it up, but I am female and was trying to do it alone. I had to call for backup to get the heavy end of the the machine (the motor end) where I wanted it on the mat, but aside from that setup was a snap. The parts fit together logically (imagine that!), and everything (including tools) were included. They even give you a bottle of lube to get you started with maintenance of the machine. Go for it! You'll love it.

RATED #1 Folding Treadmill in Consumer Report's 2009 Best of Best Awards Dec 29, 2009
I really enjoy using this treadmill. The assembly was easy. It is very easy to operate. It folds upward to give you extra room for yoga, stretching, etc. The look of the machine is very impressive, but not intimidating! This Christmas, members of my family who are normally "couch potatos" used it, including my 78 year old mother who walked 10 MINUTES on the machine and loved it!
I recently discovered that CONSUMER REPORT gave the FOLDING BOWFLEX SERIES 7 TREADMILL it's HIGHEST RATING!!! Unknowingly, I made the best choice, and so will you if you purchase this item!
Much Healthier,
Daniel Oliver"
P.S. It was MUCH CHEAPER to buy this product through AMAZON than the BOWFLEX WEBSITE!
Great machine Dec 27, 2009
I've being using this machine for 15 months and, so far it has performed flawlessly. It is easy to use: turn it on, confirm your weight, confirm the default program (P1), enter the time and hit start. After that, the speed and incline can be change on the fly. The assembly was simple, but I strongly suggest using a real screwdriver (instead of the tool provided) since the bolts are sort of soft and it's possible to strip the bold head. On the con side, the manual is poorly written: 1. the programs are hardly explained, and 2. it does not explain how to lubricate the belt.

 ~~~~~~BUYERS BEWARE~~~~~~~~ Dec 18, 2009
Treadmill was great till it stopped working. The manufacturer has been back order on a part I need for 3 MONTHS!!! Week after week I was told the part was coming in. They could have replaced the entire display which was in stock but would not since it was $1000. So since they could not get a part I had to suffer. They would not even offer a discount of the part. They offered free shipping. WHOOPIE!
Like I said... Great till it broke down!!!!
And oh by the way, all they do for trouble shooting is make you buy parts and swap them out yourself. I am mechanically inclined so it was not a big deal for me.

 Just started using it! Dec 09, 2009
So far so good! Just one month into ownership. Read all reviews before purchasing along with Consumer Reports reviews and happy with purchase. The small details/negatives of fan that doesn't produce (haven't used it yet) or being able to read prompts of programming haven't hindered me. Just take your time and enjoy! Try using a dinasaur of a treadmill at a gym to realize how amazing this treadmill is. This is a solid machine. Just don't go up too many floors with it as it is a heavy piece. Delivery was smooth and people courtious. I'll keep you posting on long term use!
