Elite Runner X Treadmill - Commercial Grade - FreeSync FTMS Bluetooth Connectivity - 4.0 HP - Large Ortho Flex Shock Suspension System Deck - Marathon Training - 400 lb Capacity

I have had this treadmill up and running for about a month now. I was looking for a higher end treadmill with the sturdiness of a gym level one. I am 6' and 250lbs and some of the lower end treadmills are not sturdy enough and shake too much for someone my size. I have it installed in a finished basement on a hard vinyl tile floor with a treadmill mat underneath.First impressions:* This thing is one of the bulkiest and heaviest things I have had to move in my house. It weighed over 425 lbs. and came in a big 7' x 3' box.* I needed four people to move it around to the back of my house into my basement. It will never move again. If you don't have a couple of burly friends to help you, consider the White Glove service, if available.* Setup was easy once out of the box. I did it myself. Some parts are a little large and heavy so having a second person would help.Pros:* Has it where it counts. This thing feels like a gym treadmill. Sturdy, well made.* Lifetime warranty on the motor* No calibration needed out of the box for me. The tread was aligned and there was no slippage.* Very comfortable, even on faster speeds. I didn't have any issues with walking, jogging or running.* It isn't very loud compared to other treadmills I have used. Motor is relatively quiet. Of course it gets louder as you fun faster.* Hand bars are long and sturdy.* Quick access panel with start and emergency stop switch is nice* Little to no deck flex. Sturdy run for my size.Cons:* The console is sub par. It is really basic monochrome readout. There are a number of presets and manual modes and you have some good options but it is missing key features I would expect for a treadmill in this price range. For instance, the mp3 player is USB or 3.5mm jack only with no Bluetooth so this appears to be a design from about a decade ago. This isn't a major issue for me as I have a wall mounted TV in the room where this resides.* I didn't expect much but the audio quality of the speakers are awful* The fan is a nice little feature but it runs for a few minutes and shuts off.* No way to save profiles for the runner. I have to enter my weight, age, etc. every time I use it. This is dumb.* Haven't figure out how to add time to an existing session. I have to just start a new one if I want to add more minutes.* There is a heartrate pulse sensor on the handlebars, much like gym tier treadmills although I have found it to be not very sensitive and slow. I just stopped using it because it doesn't always register.* Cup holders are oddly shaped and angled. Also, the phone holder is small and doesn't fit my Galaxy S10+. These are nitpicky and small, but still need pointed out.* No cool down button. Just end.Overall impression is that I love this thing. The important parts like the treadmill, motor, size, warranty, build quality are all awesome. If you want all the built in entertainment or fitness tracking extras that some other brands have, you're out of luck. Just use a Fitbit and get a TV/tablet for entertainment and call it a day.Subtracted one start for the underwhelming console for this price range but debated making it 5 stars as that is minor to me.3/8/21 EDIT:After using the treadmill for a few months I can confirm that the quality is amazing. Great track, no slippage, sturdy (I weigh 245lbs) and works as advertised. It feels like a commercial treadmill. Yes, the console is still subpar but after using the fitbit for a while, I have found that the console is completely unnecessary other than to get it started and adjust speed. I bumped the review to 5 stars based on it being a phenomenal treadmill.

Delivery: The treadmill arrived within the scheduled window and the delivery company went well above what I expected. They said they would bring the treadmill over one threshold in the house and would take it into the basement if I wanted. I asked them to bring it in through the side door of the house and directly down into the basement. When they realized that the box was too large to get down the stairs into the basement they offered to open the box and take it down in parts. This thing is heavy so I was happy to let them carry it down the stairs. They were extremely courteous and accommodating. I expected them to bring it to the porch and that we would be responsible for moving it where we wanted it. I was very impressed with the delivery.Construction: As I mentioned, the treadmill is heavy but putting it together was very easy. My husband put it together alone and didn't have any problems other than some awkward balancing because of the weight.Operation: So far I am very impressed with the quality and overall operation of the treadmill. I have run a few miles on it and it is very robust and better quality than some treadmills I've used in hotel gyms. It isn't too loud and was very smooth during my first run. The only thing I don't like about it is the toggle on the display. I like to see both speed and distance at the same time and this treadmill toggles those two. Overall though, I am very pleased with this treadmill so far.

We bought the 3G Cardio Elite Treadmill from Amazon and so far absolutely love it! I have been a member at LifeTime Fitness for a long time and finally realized that I only use the treadmill. I decided I wanted to use a treadmill at home and wanted to stop wasting money on membership fees.The only brands of Treadmills I was familiar with was LifeFitness and Precor because that is what is available at my health club. I started by shopping around these two brands and was floored by the costs. To get an actual commercial treadmill would have been over $5000!As I researched this more, I came across the 3G Cardio brand. The Elite Runner Treadmill had the exact quality I wanted for a much better price. Now that I have been running on this treadmill I have to say that it actually feels better than what I used at the club. I have been extremely impressed so far and I certainly hope this continues.This treadmill weighs almost 400lbs, has an upgraded commercial “ortho” style belt and feels incredibly sturdy and stable. Although it is an expensive purchase, it was still far less than the other comparable models from Precor and LifeFitness.The main feature that I like is that it is very sturdy. The treadmill does not shake around and vibrate when I run on it. I like the handle bars too, they are at a very good angle and I don’t feel like I am too close to the electronics display. I also like that I can use an iPad and the audio speakers sound decent enough. I have used the heart rate monitor and it seems really accurate. I have made one custom program and that also works nicely. This treadmill has a Hi/Low fan which I don’t use because I have an overhead fan but it does have a bit of power and I can feel it on my face when I turn it on. This may be a good feature for someone who needs it. I am not a “techy” person but I do like the fact that I can plug my iPhone into the treadmill and talk hands-free. This is a nice feature even though again, I probably won’t use it too often.This treadmill has a 10 year parts warranty and a lifetime warranty on the motor and frame. I can also really notice the difference with the upgraded running belt on this machine. It is far softer than anything I have ran on before but it does not feel “mushy” like some of the cheaper treadmills at the department stores.I would highly suggest this treadmill to others. If someone is looking for a treadmill to last them a long time and something to feel like a gym treadmill, this is a very good buy. It is really heavy and big so that is something to keep in mind if you have a space consideration. There are smaller treadmills available but I am sure the quality would be much less too.
