Bowflex Series 7 Treadmill Top Quality
Got mine treadmill delivered yesterday, the company it shipped from was Nautilus, and the company that delivered it was Eagle Global Logistics.
I had made the mistake of ordering an Image treadmill from Walmart (DO NOT DO THIS), so I have some comparisions.
The Bowflex has much better build quality, packaging, assembly instructions, user manual. It's a sturdy machine.
There is some assembly required, but it's actually fairly easy to do. I think I had mine put together out of the box in less than 45 minutes. By comparsion the Image treadmill took a couple of hours to assemble. All tools required for assembly ship with the treadmill - although you'll probably want your own phillips heads screwdriver. There are only about 30 bolts/screws you have to use.
Everything just feels solid on this machine. The control panel is not the best in the world, but you get used to it fairly quickly.
The folding mechanism is dead simple and you don't even have to lift very strongly to fold it up.
However, to actually move it when it's folded isn't nearly as easy as the Image treadmill. The wheels are on the front instead of the back of the main motor assembly, so you have to pull the whole weight towards you instead of pushing it away from you. Putting it back down after rolling it somewhere feels like a dangerous affair. It's a trivial concern as I don't really plan on moving the treadmill around a lot.Get more detail about Bowflex Series 7 Treadmill.
