XTERRA Fitness TR150 Folding Treadmill Black

Update: so it's been a few months, and it's still going strong! After about two uses, the LED screen stopped working. It would quickly just fade to black, so it was useless. Thankfully, the treadmill works just fine without it. I just use a watch to track the time, and I never trust treadmills to track calories anyways. I had contacted support for warranty and they said it'd be about 3 months for a new part to arrive, but it never came. No biggie. As I said, it works fine without. For such a cheap treadmill, it doesn't surprise me that something stopped working so quickly. I'm just glad it was the screen and not something more important.Didn't follow delivery instructions, but that's on Purolator and not Xterra. Just figured I'd mention it, in case anyone else was relying on delivery instructions. We live in the basement and asked them to deliver to the back door (easy to access), and yet they still delivered to the front door. Being over 100lbs, it was a pain in the butt to carry through the snow just to get it to the back door.On that note, it's HEAVY. Took two of us to get it inside and down the stairs. If you're a weakling like me, get at LEAST one other person who is strong to help you out. The weight Purolator weighed it as was 114lbs. Plus, the box doesn't have any handles or really anywhere convenient to grab it.As for assembly, it was very, very quick and easy to assemble. Took me about 20mins total to unbox it and put it all together. I haven't tried lubricating it yet (says to do that after about 90hrs of use), so we'll see how hard that is when I get to it.Looks nice, runs smoothly. Fairly quiet. It is rather small (particularly skinny), but I don't sway much while jogging so I am not overly concerned about it. I actually bought it because it is small, and I didn't want it to take up too much space. It is very easy to fold up, which is nice.Overall, I am very pleased with it. Not pleased with Purolator, but the treadmill itself seems nice.I will update this review in a month or two, based off of how well it's performing. I have read that some develop error codes and become useless after a while, so we'll see if the same happens to mine or not.

I love this treadmill so much - goes faster than most collapsible ones on the market at this price point, easy to put together, easy to fold. Sadly I’ve had if for just over 2 months and the motor is shot. It started making clicking noises and I noticed it was running slower than it was indicating. I contacted the company and they are sending a new motor - they were extremely quick to respond. Assuming they are also sending a person to repair?? Glad I went for the extended warranty. It’s an awesome treadmill for at home use….just hope this isn’t going to be an ongoing issue.

In short: Treadmill works really well when working properly. Support is terrible.For the amount of money we paid for this treadmill we were hoping for very few hiccups and that it would just work. Wasn't quite the case.Assembly was pretty straightforward. Parts are a little heavy so you may need assistance putting it together but I was able to do it by myself.*Important* This treadmill requires a grounded plug. I've seen reviews with this problem, if you don't have the proper outlet this treadmill WILL NOT WORK. First of all, this treadmill has a three prong power cable. So your outlet will need to have either the three holes, or an adapter. But that's not all.THE OUTLET CANNOT HAVE THE LITTLE BLACK AND RED BUTTONS. Some outlets have these little red and black buttons by the outlets. I believe the red button usually is labeled as "reset". If your outlet has these buttons... DO NOT BUY THIS TREADMIILL. Or any treadmill really. Because of the heavy motor, it will trip the outlet every single time! This needs an outlet without those little buttons in order to work. Luckily for me I had a outlet like this several feet away and an extension cord did the trick.Now comes the bad part where I had a support issue.I assembled the treadmill and turned it on. Belt ran just fine. When I got on it, every step I took the belt stopped. I tried standing it and then turning it on, started at .5 mph moved it up to 3mph. Same thing, every time I took a step or stood up normally the belt would just get stuck under me.I weigh 185lbs and even my girlfriend who weighs considerably less tried it with same results. Weight capacity is actually 250lbs on this machine.I called the support line and I get connected to what sounded like a little office in Arkansas.The rep told me to tighten the belt. With no results.He then told me to lubricate under the belt a little. With no results.He then told me to empty the bottle of lubricant under the belt and let it run for 5 minutes. With no results.I called back and got a different support rep. He had me do the same troubleshooting steps. He then sounded confused and said that it may be the electronic board. He ordered a board to come to my house and set up a visit from a local fitness equipment company.The day came where the part arrived and the technician came to the house. He was astonished that the entire bottle of lubricant was used under the belt. He cleaned it as best he could and tightened/untightened the belt. Still was getting the same result of the belt sticking whenever weight was applied.He then called the treadmill company and was put through the ringer. They didn't really believe what he was telling them. They tried to make excuses such as him weighing too much, or that the extension cord was the problem. He said that he wanted to replace the belt because of the poor direction that was given of lubricating it so much that it was soaked with lubricant. They did not want to replace the belt because it was so expensive... The technician was so frustrated and surprised at what the support team was telling him. Finally, the technician opened up the casing of the motor and noticed that a little driving belt was loose. He moved the motor a bit, tightening the driving belt. And the treadmill finally worked as it should.We walked on the treadmill and it ran fine. He said to keep it under 4 mph to prevent risk of slippage and not avoid lubricating the belt for 6 months. All this because the support team from the manufacturer gave dangerous advice. A quick Google search shows that the driving belt is a common cause of treadmill belts slipping. They should have known this.I have been using the treadmill since and it works great. Whether walking or running, it runs as it should. I will say that it is a bit loud. I have to crank up the TV really loud to hear it. Or I just use headphones. And the calorie count is way too overestimated. But other than that I do enjoy this treadmill now. It's plenty wide and long for me.I still would recommend this treadmill. It's build solid and has everything you need. But I suggest you first make sure you have the right outlet for where you plan to put it. And if you run into a problem to contact a local fitness equipment company. Xterra or whatever the company is called is a joke when it comes to support. A quick Google search shows that they are a bit subpar when it comes to quality service. Online they're listed as this address.Spirit Fitness3000 Nestle RdJonesboro, ARAgain, treadmill itself is good. It's support team should be ashamed of itself for giving out instructions that could harm their own product.

Very heavy - ideally be 2 people to move the box.Fairly easy to assemble.Work very well and is as quiet as any other treadmill. I’m happy with it.Love the bookrack to put an iPad on. Unsure about the two accessory holders as nothing fits in it (not a bottle of water, not even a phone).The main reason for 4 stars is the calorie counting: after an hour walk at 3.5 intensity, the machine read 537 calories but my Apple Watch gave me 229 - so that is a HUGE discrepancy.

Straight to the point review:--My family wanted something to walk/jog on during the colder months. We have a TV and speaker in our basement already, so didn't want or need any of the bells and whistles associated with higher priced options. There is a nice little lip-shelf for a phone or tablet.--I was able to assemble this by myself in about 15 minutes. Other than getting it out of the box, you don't need a second person. The treadmill base is all one piece. All you have to do is plug into two wires, attach the poles, and then the control unit slides right on top. Everything fits together easily and there are about 12 screws total holding it together.Once it is together, it isn't that heavy/hard to move around even if you're only slightly in shape. I do imagine lifting the base to be stored upright might be hard for some though.--Once assembled, this particular unit has small footprint for a treadmill, especially if you're used to using ones at a gym. Of particular note is the treadmill band itself. The running/walking just ok but the width is skinny/narrow.I am 6ft 2, 180 pounds. While taller than most, my width is about average. I have used this three times now. The width is not a huge issue for me (as long as I am paying attention to my stride) but could be if I was tired. My wife and daughter--both petite--don't have any issues at all. If you're a wider person, or if you have a really long running gait, I would say to look elsewhere.--speaking of looking elsewhere, this is NOT built for serious runners/sprinters. It definitely strains at higher speeds and you definitely feel the impact of your plant foot at those speeds. The best use, which it does just dandy with, is a healthy, faster paced walk/light jog. It's not whisper quiet at faced-pace walk, but it is fine.--The build quality seems ok but I don't think this is going to last years upon years. It definitely has that "made in China" kind of cheap feel to it--and the control computer/buttons seem like they are right out of 1987. BUT, you're meant to walk on it, not show it off.I am glad I bought the extended warranty for 25 bucks. Having now built and used it, seems like a really good investment.--the packaging was EXCELLENT. Even though there was a gash in the box from one of the bands, everything is secured with fitted Styrofoam. The guys who delivered it were nice enough to bring it to the back of my house and my son and I slid it down the basement stairs.Would I buy/recommend. As long as you manage your expectations and are not training for a marathon, I think YES. We got it when it dropped to $310, which seems about right.
