Fabulous piece of kit
Mine only arrived yesterday so this is more about the build quality, putting it together etc than how it performs. I'll update this in a month or so. However, last night I managed to put it together in about an hour by myself. Now, I'm a complete duffus when it comes to DIY but even I found it a cinch. It really is one of the easiest "flat packs" I've ever come across. When necessary they have labelled parts "Left" or "Right" and even colour coded the stickers so you just cannot get it the wrong way around. Little things like the guide saying "PS: We recommend you put the right one on first". You wonder why until you are half-way through and you suddenly realise how helpful they are being.

Once together, it is a huge, heavy, solid piece of kit. But the tiny space it folds up into is astonishing. My wife was mightily impressed (relieved) and, despite it's weight, folding the deck up doesn't require Geoff Capes to be on hand - although I doubt my 89 year-old Nan could do it.

Turning it on and getting it running was a joy. There was a momentary pause after pressing "Start" that left my heart in my mouth but it actually just takes a few moments for the motor to wind itself up - which is a lot easier to deal with than some "professional" kit that just starts at 3mph and sends you flying backwards.

The other impressive thing is that the motor is VERY quiet and the belt is nicely padded. I'll have to find out how quiet it all remains with prolonged use (I'm training for an endurance walk so it will get some good long runs) and whether the belt suffers from the notorious side-slippage that I've heard so many of these things do.

Down sides? I'd like the console to lie flatter so I could wedge a water-bottle in to one of the handles. It would be nice if they had provided somewhere to hang the safety-clip when not in use - I can see that getting lost. The incline (it's a 4-position manual - dead easy to adjust) doesn't go very steep.

But those are minor quibbles. It's easy to put together, extremely quiet in use and built like a tank. I'm chuffed to bits.

(PS The picture on Amazon isn't 100% accurate. There is a lot of orange on the front feet and the sides of the running deck. May not be to some peoples taste)

Doing a great job
I purchased this from Amazon and it came in the week time, it took me an hour to put it together and I found the instruction is easy to understand. plug in then off you go. The main purpuse I purchase this is for my dogs actually, so I can excise them while it rains. It just did a great job, even though got scraches on the running surface already by my dogs nails. easy to to fold for storage as well. I could run on it as well after dogs excises. very pleased.

Mixed bag
My treadmill was faulty (sending it back) but I will try not to let this colour my review.

Positive points: this is a solid bit of kit, as someone else has said, and it is very quiet.

On the down side, the assembly instructions and the trouble shooting guide have been very poorly translated; they are possibly the worst I've ever seen. I would not recommend this to anyone who is not confident that they can build these things using only their own wits. (Diagrams are no help as they are too small and inaccurate.)

Most important point: I would also point out that, although it folds up to take up very little space, it is fitted with wheels that are far too small. This means that you have to tip the whole thing quite far back to roll it and, due to the weight of the unit, this feels like a back injury waiting to happen. I considered getting a replacement after returning this one, but decided against it due to the lack of any real mobility.
