Nautilus T618 Folding Treadmill

I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and it was a big wake up call to get in better shape. I was just walking around our neighborhood for exercise and a truck hopped the curb and almost ran me over on the sidewalk. That's when I decided to get a treadmill. After much research I settled on the T618 because of the power, incline and near commercial grade use which I wanted because I'm a bigger guy. Since having this machine and using it 5 days a week, I've lost 40lbs. Another tip is, if you have a flex-plan through your employer, you can get a letter of medical necessity from your doctor "if obesity or diabetes is an issue" and can get reimbursed through flex-plan if preapproved.

My Treadmill was delivered on time, but that’s about the only thing that has gone according to plan. We read the reviews and people said it was easy to assemble. Turns out it should be, if you’re sent the correct parts. We contacted Nautilus the day it was delivered, per the instructions on the manual and we have still not received the correct part to assemble the treadmill. It’s been nearly two months and I haven’t even been able to use the treadmill I spent $1600 to buy. Nautilus won’t reply to emails anymore. I’ve never been more disappointed in a purchase from Best Buy. I wish I could return it and get my money back.

Several pre-set programs to choose from along with ability to create individualized program. Heavy duty piece of equipment. Takes time and effort to assemble and get working. Some of the assembly instructions were a bit unclear so took a bit to figure out what to do. Liked that the hardware came packaged on a blister packed piece of cardboard that kept them organized and easy to identify rather than loose in little plastic bags. The four star rating is due to the fact that the red safety plug is easily bumped, falls out, stops the treadmill and cancels out the chosen workout program so everything has to be re-entered and the workout circuit begins again rather than resuming where it was disrupted.

I have had this treadmill for about a month. I use it with a popular online exercise application. I have a family of 4 - which include two teenagers. It get used almost daily. Two of us run on it and two of us walk on it. I use it to run for about 45 minutes 4-5 times a week. We have really tested it and have had no issues. This treadmill can't be beat for the price I paid. It feels sturdy. My only negative comment is the ability to use the charging port isn't working however, since my husband set it up it could be that he missed a step. It really isn't a deal breaker for us.

Great machine. Nice smooth run. Love the side buttons that allow for incline and speed adjustment on the fly. Love the fan. Love the explore the world app. It is a great treadmill and while expensive you get a lot for your money. I was only disappointed that it was bigger and heavier than I thought it would be meaning it doesn’t fold up as compactly as I would’ve liked; but not the worse thing in the world. At least the folding process is easy. I paid for set up and haul away of the old treadmill. This service could not have been easier nor more efficient. Well worth the money.
