(checked 2026-10-10)Very small sample (33 ratings): 1-star 31%, 2-star 22%. This is the red-color listing Wirecutter links to; other colors or sellers may have separate listings.
Wirecutter's top pick for its easy setup, smooth ride, sturdy deck and 7.5 mph running mode. But it is heavy, has only a 90-day warranty, its belt frayed in testing, and the Amazon listing Wirecutter links to has very poor ratings from a small sample.
Weight limit: 265 lb max user weight (Wirecutter)
Top speed: 7.5 mph with the handrail up; 2.5 mph with it folded (Wirecutter)
Top complaints
- 90-day warranty; belt frayed
Wirecutter says it doesn't seem built to last: the belt began to fray along the edge, which the 90-day warranty doesn't cover. Customer service took days to answer emails.
Source: Wirecutter (NYT) - Poor value per Amazon reviews
On the Amazon listing Wirecutter links to, value for money gets negative feedback, with several customers saying it isn't worth the trouble. The listing averages 2.9 stars from 33 ratings.
- Heavy, and narrow for some users
At 70 lb it was the heaviest model Wirecutter tested. Its roughly 40 x 16 in belt was too narrow for a tester of about 290 lb and for people with wide gaits or bulky shoes. The rotating LED display and finicky app also annoyed testers.

What owners love
- Easy setup and simple remote
Wirecutter unboxed and set it up in under 10 minutes and found the remote intuitive. Amazon's review summary also says it's relatively easy to assemble.
- Smooth, sturdy and runs to 7.5 mph
Testers called it 'solid' and stable while multitasking. With the handrail up it reaches 7.5 mph, and the handrail comes with a safety string.

A Wirecutter staffer who has owned one since 2024 says it still works well with regular belt greasing, though it's a pain to move.

What experts say
- Wirecutter (NYT): Top pick: easy to set up and use with a smooth ride, but heavy, short on features, and backed by only a 90-day warranty.
