Been using it everyday now before starting my day, and after some adjustment to the belt, it runs nice and smooth! Not sure why people says it's loud. It's only loud if the machine runs without anybody using it, but It's quiet as long as i jog on it. I also noticed that some people complaint about how heavy it is. Tell you what, it's much lighter than norditrack treadmill. Does it has some weight? yes. Heavy enough that i don't feel like it would fall apart after constant use, but light enough that it only requires one person to move it around if needed. The wheel is extra bonus to me.I wanted and had been looking for the real treadmill that cost a lot more, with more features, and definitely a heavy duty one.So this walking pad is an amazing combination for all that i need because it's A Lot smaller than a treadmill, easier to relocate, AND it's heavy duty that should make it more durable.It gets to the max speed 3.8, just the right speed to jog. not to mention it's a pretty green color, and will be wonderful to have at home especially during the wet winter months.I thought i would be missing having the handle, but since this doesn't move that fast, and since the remote is handy, i don't really find it to be an issue and i have a table nearby in case i ever need to hold something.So if you're looking to have something for a light exercise, on a budget, and enjoy walking as much as i do, give this walking pad a try!
