I ordered the Bowflex Series 7 on 9/6/06. It was delivered via Eagle on 9/21/06. It was available for delivery on the 20th, but I wasn't able to receive it on that date.
The review from Consumer Reports and reviews here at Amazon was the deciding factor for my purchase. So far I am extremely happy with the treadmill. The only drawback that I can see is the heart rate monitor on the machine. It takes a LONG time to read the heart rate. It's practically useless. However, the package came with a remote monitor that works excellent.
Warning: The delivery. There was one guy who delivered the machine. A middle aged, strong man. But he really struggled with the thing. There should have been two men. I saw the box as it came off the truck and it was really beat up. And then with the one guy struggling with it, as he was getting the thing off the dolly in my garage, it came down hard on the floor. So here I am with a box that looks pretty beat up, and it hits hard on my garage floor. I worry about the delicate computer parts of the machine. I immediately contacted Amazon. They said if there was any problem, there is of course the return policy. Not sure how it would be returned if needed, as the box has to be pretty much demolished to get the thing completely out for assembly. But, so far, so good.
As you can see from my above paragraph, the machine is very heavy. I was able to bring in all parts except for the biggest part... the deck. My husband and two others really had to muscle that thing in. Yes, it can be folded and rolled, but not to get into my house and through hallways and doorways. Folded, it won't work. It was quite a job. Once the unit was where it needed to be, the assembly was a snap.
Like I said, so far so good. It is working great. I really like the machine. Just as good as the ones I've used at the gyms. I hope this will continue for a long time to come.Get more detail about Bowflex Series 7 Treadmill.
