I've been looking for a while for the days I can't get out with work and the kids etc..

Thanks,

Tinner

Looks quite lightweight, the motor is under powered and it only goes to 12kmph.
Might be ok for occasional use, but even at 6 mins per km it's working at almost 90% capacity.
Keep an eye on Elverys or check Adverts, Done Deal, etc would be my advice.

thanks mate, do any of you have any recommendations prob be used 3 or 4 times a week

+1 on beepbeeps reply. Keep an eye on donedeal,adverts etc...You should be able to pick up something decent for around €300
Look for something with speed of at least 16km/hr-electronic incline etc

Main reliable home use brands with decent after sales service and parts availability (you will need them) Horizon, Proform and Nordic Track.
Ignore the likes of York, Rebook, etc (Argos fodder) and anything that has a celebrity standing beside it :rolleyes:

in Argos they sell a "Roger Black Fitness Gold" with good features and user reviews for 450€...

top speed 16km/h
max user weight 120kg
2hp peak engine
foldable
variable elevation
16 programmes etc.

I'm tempted to buy it as I could not justify spending 1 grand or similar on a treadmill.
