I have had this treadmill for about a month. Setting it up was fairly easy and only one of the pre-drilled holes was not aligned perfectly. It was off just a tad so I had to work the screw a little more to make it go in. The treadmill is the most basic model this company carries, but they are very well known for high quality.
Pros
-VERY quiet
-excellent, smooth walking experience
-light weight (about 100 lbs) compared to others
-solid, quality product
-4 preset programs
-incline
-foldable
-the front handles are ideal for placing a board across so I can surf the net (2 mph) or watch a dvd (3 mph) while I walk.
Cons
-probably best for walking instead of running.
-The on button is in the front of the unit, low, where the motor is. It’s a pain to have to turn it off and on everytime I want to use my treadmill. When I leave the on switch “on” it beeps at me every 5 min. to remind you to turn it off. I have never tried to keep it off for a long period of time to see if it will go into sleep mode or somthing like that. So it has to be powered down every time you use it.
-incline is manual (you have to get of the treadmill to adjust it by hand)
-the mph is in .5 increments. I prefer to be able to go up .1 or .2 at a time.
-no hydraulics when folding it up. If you drop the platform while trying to fold it, watch out, it will come crashing down and can cause harm. This is one area they should not have cut back on. Too much liability. I keep the platform down at all times so it is not an issue. However this can be a serious issue for an older person or someone who has children.
Overall I am very pleased with the product. I had to give up some of the extras to afford a quality machine. You could spend the same amount of money for something with a lot of bells and whistles, but you might end up with a loud, clunky machine with a belt that always goes off center all the time. That is a description of my last machine.
Update: It has been almost a year and I am still very pleased with my treadmill. I have not had to adjust the belt, it is not making any weird sounds or losing parts. It is still as reliable as the first day I got it. I actually have run for short periods of time and it works well with that, but I’m small (5′0 woman, healthy weight) so it may shake, rattle and roll with a large 6′0 man.

This machine is exactly what I was looking for. It is low cost, yet high quality. Having a treadmill comes in very handy this time of the year when it is just too cold to go outside. I walk/jog for about 30 minutes per day on my 715T and have not had any problems. The features aren’t overwhelming, and it has the prefect amount of programs for me.

Only had this machine for about 4 months. The motor is speeding up for no apparent reason. The company will not honor the year warranty on the motor. They expect me to pay for a repair person to come to my house to find out whats wrong. This machine should be on recall because it is very dangerous. I am 68 years old, and I am scared it is going to throw me off. I do not recommend buying this machine. Cheaply made for the price. Save your money for a better machine.

This is a good piece of equipment for the price. I have had it for about 3 or 4 days but I find that it is easy to use, easy to fold up and easy to move out of the way even on carpet. It was very easy to assemble and the instructions were clear and easy to understand. Would recomend for anyone who wants to put together a home gym without spending an arm and leg.

I bought this for my mother and I knew she would only be walking slow on it.It has a decent size belt and it is fine for her.This would not be very good for anyone expecting to run on it.It is simply not built for that.She really likes it.I tried it and it is fine for walking.
