amazon basics Advanced Elliptical Cross Trainer with LCD Display, 8 Levels Magnetic Resistance, 6 Kg Flywheel, Max User Weight 120 Kg (Free Installation and Warranty Included)

I was little recultant initially to invest close to 40k in a AmazonBasics item. After lot of research, I did not find the same config (4HP peak motor + upto 120kg load bearing + Auto-incline 15 level + 16kms speed + 24 programs) for this price-tag (Value for Money).On a fortunate day got some HDFC discount + NoCostEMI, this made the deal sweeter and took the gamble!Have been using it since two months. I use it for brisk walk + jog + running. My senior citizen Dad uses it for daily walk.Due to frequent lockdowns & Covid curfews had affected my evening walks. So wanted to purchase a treadmill to stay fit & active without the risk of going out :-)Listing the PROS & CONS after 2 months of almost everyday usuage!PROS:- Sturdy & heavy (78-80kg)- can take a max load of 120kg person- foldable using an hydrolic stand & has wheels for movement- 6 inch clear display (good for senior citizens)- wide & long running area- 15 level Auto incline- Speakers are good- Acme fitness is given the Installation & Service contract in Bangalore (took less than one hour for installation ; they will also visit me every quarter for free service i.e. 4 free service in an year)- Easy to +- speed & inclination with buttons on the handle (apart from buttons near the LCD display)- 24 Programs to choose from (if you like to run/walk at varying speed & inclination)- Handle can read pulse (heartbeat)CONS:- As it is quite heavy, it is difficult for one person to shift or move, so need to decide the spot & keep it there for ever- its bigger & wider than other 'Home treadmills' ; So needs good amount of space; Ideal for independent homes / mansions/ bunglows or spacious/big apartments- It has manual lubrication (now a days treadmills come with auto-lubrication or semi-auto-lubrication); But not a big deal as the process is quite simple & may be needed only once in 6 months. Lubrication oil is provided- It claims to have Body Fat sensor, but it just calculates your height-weight-gender ratio & gives you your BMI (again this is not something very important, can be ignored)Lastly, some ppl here have mentioned its a cheap Chinese product. I also wanted to avoid a Chinese make, but while researching I found almost all Treadmills are made in China. Even so called 'Indian brands' import it from China so not much choice. I also researched on the Chinese company which manufactured this AmazonBasic treadmill, it seems to be one of the suppliers to Cosco, so has to be good!Another point, the person who came to install recommended I use a stabilizer, so that was another 3-3.5k additional expense!Edit1: Referring some comments below, wish to confirm Service is completely free for one year (4 free services). The Technician visited my house twice - once for assembling the treadmill & once for a free service. 3 more free services pending. I didn't pay them anything, it was absolutely free!Edit2: It is one year now since I purchased the treadmill, used 3 free services (forgot to avail the 4th one). So far so good, working as new, no issues. But only point of concern is, the price is almost 15-20% lower than last year :D ... so not sure if its exactly the same model or difference in quality/build.

I purchased it recently and returned it as well because of the following reasons.First things first...Pros- Build is sturdy. If they fix all the design flaws, this can easily become one of the best cross trainers out there- Has a 6KG flywheelCons- The wire connecting the flywheel cabin with the magnetic tension control knob is more (than required) in length. This makes the whole tension control not to work at all, making it completely useless, and it now defaults to the highest resistance. Peddling at highest resistance directly is quite difficult for beginners.- This in my opinion is a design issue. When we stand on the pedals, the chest part is too close to the vertical frame and this results in elbow angle not going more than 30-degrees at the farthest distance. In the gym I used to go to, at the farthest point, the hand becomes a straight line. This is not the case with this cross trainer. Lack of proper hand movement defeats the purpose of cross trainer and in this particular case hand started paining also. In the other cross trainers on Amazon itself (Ex:- Maxpro, Elcare, Durafit Waltz, cockatoo Etc...) I see that the vertical frame is joined with the base at an angle (i.e. more than 90-degree) whereas in this, it is exactly 90-degrees. I think the designers of this cross trainer should fix this.About Installation- The person assigned for the installation didn't show up and when I had called, he gave a different person's number. This second guy asked me if this is a paid installation for which I said no, and then, he said, he can't come as it is not assigned to me. After escalated this issue with Amazon CC, they finally sent a person who usually does furniture fittings. When I asked him how he is going to install it, he said he would read the user manual and do it. I don't have any issue with that part as such, but this guy is not able to understand what is there in the user manual. He took out the wire coming from the flywheel cabin completely and fitted everything. When I asked him where should that wire go, he had a blank face. I then jumped in and directed him what to do. Installation is not that difficult and I could have easily done that by myself, but couldn't do it for the fear of losing the return/warranty (which usually happens with washing machines and refrigerators). It wasn't a great experience after all.While dismantling it to return the product, I did it all myself. Amazon had offered me to pay that if I can produce the bill, but since I don't have faith on the installation guys, I did it myself.

This treadmill is amazing, value for money, and sturdy.Anyone who is looking for best and don’t know which treadmill to buy, go for it.

I ordered in very discounted Price of Rs.23389, 2Hp auto incline thread mill, Looks like commercial one, long and wide Big belt (running area) and very heavy for home use but good. (bought at Thanjavur)Installation -Easy fix team didn't come for assembling, Also very irresponsible reply from them( Haribabu Chennai), He could easily guide us how to fix / assemble.I started fixing it, it is very easy to assumable.Really value for money. go for it. but wait for offer / discount price. normal price is 40K.
