I purchased the treadmill to replace an older one ~ 25 years old that had been used periodically over the years (originally bought at Sears). I am now using it for walking i.e. 75 years old. It shipped quickly and arrived within a couple of days. It came very, well packed in a large box. It was heavy but manageable. The assembly was easy and straight forward. Mostly just had to raise the arms that hold the console, position some bolts and add the console. It is very, quite especially compared to the old clunker that quit. So far, I have been very pleased. In addition, when I bought it, the price was about half of the listed cost. So that was greater as well. In summary, highly recommend.
