I was apprehensive about purchasing a large and heavy item online. Further, prior to purchasing, I was unable to see the item at a local store. Nevertheless, I decided on this item, because of its advertised feature; i.e., television, and bright, large LED display(s), along with heavy duty motor, and other customary treadmill inclusions. Most other treadmills reasonably priced, offer a television, or LED workout display, but not both. For example, see the Nautilus, and Reebok machines, made by ICON. This machine, however, has a great tv screen and below it, bright, good sized, LED workout indicators.
Delivery was superfast. The item was drop-shipped from the plant in California, and left per my instructions at the rear of my house. Assembly went ok, taking about 2-3 hours. The instructions were choppy, and need refinement, but I was able to figure things out without calling support.The treadmill materials are fairly good, perhaps a little too much plastic. You will need two people to assemble the console to the treadmill arms. The machine worked perfectly upon start-up. All treadmill functions, and controls work great. The machine is fairly quiet. The tv screen is excellent, and again, worked right out of the box. The treadmill has a cover at the front of the track that is about 1-2 inches too long. If one is standing too close to the front of the machine, your toe(s) may touch this cover. This can be easily remedied by the manufacturer. Overall, I would give this machine 4 1/2 stars, losing a half star for the instructions, and aforestated front cover.
Product Description
Stay motivated even after the miles start to drag by with the BladeZ DX7T-MEO folding treadmill. Equipped with a 7-inch color LCD TV with an adjustable-angle screen, the treadmill lets you watch your favorite shows while you work out--a must for people who need a distraction from the drudgery of running in place. More significantly, the treadmill's 2.75-horsepower continuous drive motor holds up to heavy use, with a speed range of 0 to 10 miles per hour and an incline range of 0 to 12 percent. Simply choose one of the 14 built-in programs to work on your cardio health or lose weight, or use the quick speed and incline keys to create a custom interval workout. The treadmill even offers contact heart rate handles on the side for easy heart rate monitoring.
Users will also appreciate the aircraft-aluminum, precision-engineered rollers, which produce a smooth running performance every time, and the low-friction 20-by-55-inch orthopedic running surface, which reduces the pounding on your joints. Perhaps the handiest feature, however, is the treadmill's folding frame, which collapses vertically for easy storage and transport. The DX7T-MEO offers a weight capacity of 325 pounds.
About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.
From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.
While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.
