Confidence Power Plus Motorised Treadmill

Really, really pleased with this - first off the delivery took 2 days, incredibly fast and also quicker than the stated time of 3-5 days. Came reasonably packaged with enough styrofoam to protect it in transport, any less styrofoam and I'd have worried though but in all perfectly adequate. Set-up of was a cinch as the majority of it was preassembled, it took about 5 minutes to get it fully operational.It's quiet - I had been worried about the amount of noise it might make but it is very quiet, so that's a non-issue. Build quality - is superb: it looks great and is not over-bulky or heavy (it weighs over 20 KG but is certainly moveable). Operation - An easy-to-read LCD layout with clearly written instructions, just fine to use. In all, very relieved that I bought this, and at the price it is outstanding value. Importantly, you get (what I feel is) even higher quality than the price would seemingly dictate. (Put it this way: I can fully believe Amazon's product page when it says "You Save: £230.00 (58%)".)The build quality, alongside the good looks of the design make this buy a no-brainer and I feel I couldn't have chosen better. In my humble opinion the high ratings for this treadmill and truly deserved and I'm certainly happy with giving this a full 5/5!

I'm sure many people considering buying this treadmill will be rifling through the reviews to make sure you aren't getting a bad deal. I decided to go ahead and buy it anyway, since I don't have the kind of money to be buying the rather dearer high-tech models.So far, this treadmill does exactly what it should, no frills attached, which suits me perfectly well. I weigh around 9st. and do 30 minute workouts at about 6 mile per hour and have not yet had a problem. I have no problem with the noise - it's about as loud as any treadmill I've used at a gym and it working fine on my carpeted floor in my room.I'd definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a no frills machine for regular light to moderate exercise. I was amazed at how little I paid for this!Pros: packs up to neatly tidy away, affordable price, adjustable speedCoins: not for people looking for a shiny, high-tech machine with various settings and programs, only runs for 30 mins (but you can start it up again straight after it stops), may not be suitable for runners with a very long running stride

I have waited at least a month before writing this as I wanted to give it a fair review. I have found this a most excellent piece of 'home gym' equipment. It was delivered very quickly. Like other reviewers, I wanted a 'daily' walking excercise routine 'rain or shine'. I have used it every single day increasing my walking speed & distance progressively. It was very hard work at first but perseverance pays off. I find it sturdy and solid, much bigger than I had thought but it fits into a spare bedroom nicely, it can be folded up when the room is required. The digital control panel is first rate, giving all your progress. I had read all the other reviews and it seemed to offer a good price with quality. The Manual is only adequate, and unfortunately my unit had a pre programmed factory setting to increase in speed from 1 to 10 in a few minutes when you hit 'MODE' (which it told you to do!) However I rang the helpline and charming Becky explained everything, and emailed me the instructions which SHOULD have beeen included in the Manual. Finally - this unit has been SO good for me - I am fitter with much more stamina already.

Edit: I've had the product two weeks. I managed to work up to walking for two and a half hours on it, and the motor burnt out. The machine's not intended for long term walking, clearly. I'm outside the 7 days the seller allows returns for, so I'll see what I manage to get by returning it.--I bought this because it looked easy to disassemble, as well as being good value for money. My plan was to get a standing workstation for my computer, and to get a treadmill to walk on at 1-2 mph while I worked or played games. Getting the case off the control unit was easy - the cable was glued in at the socket, though, so took some careful working to get out in one piece. Once done it was easy to thread through the tube, and then you just undo some bolts to take the whole vertical section off: No cutting required. The unit works perfectly well without it, once you reattach the cable to the control unit.I have this under my desk, and find it very easy to walk at 2 mph and still type. The cable for the control unit is long enough that it reaches up to the keyboard shelf, so it's easy to adjust the speed.There's only one programme - and it lasts for 30 minutes. Once you get going doing things on the computer the time passes very quickly, and I'm surprised that I need to press the start button again. You do need to build up gradually to walking for extended periods - I could only manage an hour or so on the first day. It definitely felt better than standing, though, as the movement helps your circulation, and standing without it I'm constantly shuffling around to be comfortable.So I'd recommend this treadmill for a cheap, decent under-the-desk set-up. I'm using an Ikea Fredrik desk to work on, as it has three desk areas you can put on at custom heights.
