 Please so far (Day1) September 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ease of ordering product:
Was able to easily order this item through Amazon. Selected free shipping method.
Delivery of product:
Product arrived 8 days later and was shipping using ABF.
Condition of product when it arrived:
Box was slightly damaged, but was in good shaped. Box is 45x48x24 and weighs about 250 lbs. I am almost the same size as the box and needed help getting it in my door. (instructed carrier to leave on door.)
Condition of product in box:
Well packaged and there was no damage.
Ease of assembly:
Need small cordless screwdriver and a little help installing the console. Other than correct tools and help with the console, its in good shape and went together easily. I took my time and it was assembled in approx. 1.5 hours.
Conclusion:
Haven't used it yet, but I am please with my purchase so far. Seems like a very well made and technically up to date piece of equipment.
30 day update will be posted in mid October with more information.
Regards and good luck to all.
 Heavy, Big and Bulky! August 31, 2008

Please don't even think about ordering this treadmill if you'll need to get it up even a few steps of stairs or into the house by yourself! Even one extra person helping won't be enough! This box is HUGE and HEAVY!
Very Important: This treadmill will be delivered only to your CURB! If you grease the delivery truck driver's palm, he might be real nice and put it in your driveway or garage ONLY, but drivers are instructed to leave it curbside! That's how BIG this thing is!
The treadmill comes in a huge, heavy box - it's almost 7 feet in length and weighs over 325 lbs. You'll definitely need 3 or 4 big, burly people to help you get it inside the house and/or up the stairs.

My machine arrived to my house, the delivery person was great, helped me push it into the house.
Initially, while assembling the treadmill, I noticed the machining of all the hardware was pathetic: bolt threads were poorly matched to slots, some were finished poorly and had smooth hex edges, thus becoming stripped. I didn't make a big fuss about this, as I was able to tighten them with my own tools without fully stripping them (I'm a mechanic). USE YOUR OWN TOOLS if you put this together, because the tools provided are machined poorly as well, and will surely strip the bolts provided.
So I put it all together, I turn the machine on, and it keeps erroring out after 5 seconds. I call Bowflex's parent company Nautilus. Here is where it gets interesting.
I speak to a customer representative, and explain the error message I'm getting. Instead of offering to send someone out, the rep instructs me to remove the motor cover panel to diagnose the problem. I did this with some trepidation, but continuing, we (I) spent about an hour figuring out the problem. Keep in mind, troubleshooting is being done by myself, and secondarily from a customer service rep reading a schematic, not a service technician.
So then, the rep tells me Nautilus will send out the part we are guessing is broken, that I am going to replace it for them, and on top of that, it's going to take 7-10 business days to arrive, as this is Bowflex's "slow" season. So now I'm sitting here waiting, with a defective product.
When a company sends defective machinery like this to a customer, they better make sure to remedy the problem in person IMMEDIATELY. They have a headquarters 15 miles from where I live, Nautilus that is. But this is a Bowflex, and apparently they couldn't care less.
EDITED: Once the part arrived, it was no small task installing. I cannot believe they left this up to me to fix; anyone without an advanced understanding of mechanics would likely break this machine trying to install the part which was broken (no assembly instructions came either).
Unbelievable. The machine stopped erroring, but like the person stated above in another review, my heart rate monitor does not work. Also, the displays keep switching from one to the next, until it stops on the heart rate panel (which does not work on my machine). What a disaster.
Faulty control panel, lousy customer service August 7, 2008

Heartrate monitor doesn't work. Speed, distance, and other readouts work only occasionally. Called customer service and the representative said she'd get back to me after consulting the Bowflex tech. dept. She didn't return my call. Over the next 18 days I tried other customer service representatives, only to be told they couldn't take over an open case. Finally asked for the cust. service manager. and got a new circuit board sent, but didn't correct the problem. Very difficult to box up a 300 lb. machine and send it back. Very frustrating to be asked by Bowflex to fix a new $1400 treadmill myself. Service reps. ranged from indifferent to rude.
 Solid Treadmill except for computer August 6, 2008
This treadmill is very solid and well built. Have had this model for 2-3 years and still works great. Only shortcoming is that there is no clock and the fan does not work very well.
Hope that helps.
