This treadmill has an minimalist, European vibe. It's unlike the behemoths we kept seeing at stores, without the huge screen that blocks your view of a TV or of the world outside. The color accent is a nice touch (ours is a muted, slightly bluish shade of green). The machine supports running at up to 20 km per hour -- a sub-5-minute-per-mile pace -- which wasn't necessary for me, but was for my teenage-athlete son. While it's not quiet at that sort of pace, it's unusually quiet at a more conventional running pace. The deck feels firm and adequately stable (it's not going to be as stable as an extremely heavy and expensive machine). It doesn't feel like there's much cushioning, which I regard as a plus. The machine doesn't nag you to buy some subscription service (I once returned a treadmill because it wouldn't stop doing that). Two delivery guys carried the unassembled machine down a flight of stairs with no difficulty, and assembled it in 15 minutes. Immediately after assembly, the seam of the belt made an annoying sound twice per revolution. But the noise essentially vanished after a couple of uses. There were no floor sample of any Reebok treadmill at any retailer near me, so we had to take a chance and order this without every having tried it. Glad we did. I think this is an amazing treadmill for the price, which I've seen from $900 to $1400. .
