Sunny Health & Fitness Non Powered Manual Treadmill, Compact Foldable & No Electricity Required SF-T1407M

This is a sturdy, compact machine. Very easy to fold up to save space. Easy to put together. The advantage is that it is a MANUAL machine, so no motors or wires to worry about. However, I think it is better for younger people than older folks because as a manual machine with a fixed elevation, it might be too difficult to use. I use it a few minutes at a time, but I can't really use it for a half an hour. So, just understand that you have to understand your physical limits and what you want to achieve. For a younger, smaller person, I would say it's great!

Solid piece of equipment. Wanted simple manual treadmill and this works perfectly. Customer service is very responsive. Would recommend for anyone who wants to get steps in throughout the day.

Ok, this is pretty slick. I'm 60 , always had a desk job, not a jogger/runner, don't like exercise of any kind and lead a sedentary lifestyle. For my heart health my Dr suggested a treadmill. I couldn't justify the cost or idea of a big heavy bulky thing taking up permanent space in my house, plus when I did use one at the fitness center, I found it to be ghastly boring. So the good Doc suggested this. Know what this is before you buy so you don't complain later. This is a manual walking pad set at a fixed 13.5% incline. You are responsible for making the belt move, it doesn't move on its own. When you stop, it stops. I've only had this a week but already hooked. Per my Docs suggestion, start slow and aim for 30 minutes/day, split up any way you choose. 30 minutes incline walking equals an hour on a flat treadmill. Don't know if you can jog on this cuz I won't try, not my thing. I parked this thing in front of my TV for now and because it folds up and has wheels, I can move it around to other places in the house at will. It arrived a few days faster than expected and was a breeze to put together. All the pieces were easily labeled and hardware was vacuum packed so it couldn't get lost. Follow the directions and lubricate the belt before first use with lubricant included. I checked YouTube to be sure I was doing it correctly. For right now I'm delighted and hope to get much use from it.

I am 69 years old and honestly I am fine with the incline. I do feel that it is better on the knees. It does take time to get used to as I can only do it for 5 minutes with the intention of gradually increasing the time. I have other Sunny Health %26 Fitness equipment (incumbent bike and stepper) and very pleased with the quality. Highly recommend.

I wanted a manual treadmill because I was going to home bound for a while and wanted a treadmill that would push me more than an electric treadmill, this one does and more.

"Just like some of the other reviews, it is going to take some getting use to walking on this treadmill. It does have it's disadvantage of the high incline and also I'm still trying to figure out just ""how"" to walk on this thing without it sometimes slipping. I'm not giving up yet and hopefully I will be able to get a better hang of it. I have read the directions over a couple of times to figure out what I'm doing wrong

This had to me modified for me to use . The slant is to steep making you have to walk very fast . Had to put 2 2x4s under back of treadmill to raise it . I also had to wrap towels around arms necause they were not a comfortable fit for me . I am a short woman. I am happy with it after all the adjustments , It should have another hole to lower front !!

Wasn't difficult to put together but this is very difficult to walk on. You have to actually push on the handrails in order to get enough force behind you to get the walking belt to move. This causes strain on your back and hips. Very disappointed as it had many great reviews.

Thought a non-electric machine would be best for my mother to walk on, but it is not easy to walk on even for me (37 year old). I understand that it requires the momentum for it go, but it is extremely difficult to get it going, and even if I don't speed up, it speeds up, and even if I don't slow down, it does. I thought I read enough reviews, and did enough research, but this machine really isn't what I expected. I wanted to return it, but I couldn't put it back in its original package. $180 to waste....

Awkward. Must hold handles to propel belt when trying to walk. Added a block to back of unit to lessen incline. Not comfortable to use more than 5 minutes.
