This is my first treadmill. Seems pretty solid. Not sure if I like the ifit module. I don't seem to see a way yet to see my past history and total calories burned on the unit itself. However I just used it the first 3 days. You can see it on the ifit website. However nothing with it seems intuitive to me. Don't see any area either to enter stats like weight for accurate calorie burn. It is very heavy. You will need at least two people to carry it down a flight of stairs. Assembly was very hard for me for some reason. There are not a ton of parts. My elliptical came in hundreds of parts yet was easy. This treadmill was only a few parts but seemed hard. You should have two people to assemble too. I also think it should have come with a free trial to the premium ifit upgrades on the website.
So far so good. I will update later with either more "good" or "bad". Stars could go up or down depending on the future outcome.

I ordered this treadmill for my wife and I as we are avid runners and really wanted a high quality treadmill. We saw the decent reviews on this one, along with the Android color screen features, and decided to spend the extra dough for it. Heck, it's made by Reebok so it can't be that bad.
A week later we received the treadmill (delivery guy did a great job) and lugged the 300lb object upstairs. More like manhandled it upstairs. This thing is HEAVY. All quality treadmills are of course, so not surprise here, just make sure to plan to have some help and to scuff a few walls moving it anywhere as it's very awkward to carry.
I set the treadmill up by myself in about 3-4 hours. The setup wasn't too bad as the instructions are pretty straight forward, but you do need to follow the instructions to a T else you'll be re-doing steps along the way.
So I finally got the treadmill all set up and got it powered up. Connecting it to WiFi initially was troublesome as the touchscreen wasn't calibrated, so any key I touched on the virtual keyboard ended up pressing another key. Lesson - run the screen calibration in the maintenance settings before doing anything! After I calibrated I got the WiFi up and running really easily. The first thing that occurred after that is I was notified of a firmware update. I'm like, "sweet, let's update this puppy." NOPE. The update screen spun and spun and didn't do a darn thing. Enter Google, where I found this to be an issue everywhere, and 30 minutes later I was able to do some jiggery pokery to get the update to run. What you have to do to fix this is go into maintenance mode where it displays the update server as "iFit Live", circle the server name with your finger, after which it should change to "TEST." JANKY! Anyways, after I got it changed to TEST I rebooted the system and ran the firmware update again. Viola, it ran (although it failed once, but I just re-ran after) successfully. *HINT* You can only run in Manual Mode until you update the Firmware. Yep, it holds your system hostage until everything is updated.
Alright I thought, everything is updated, let's put some miles on this thing! Here came my biggest disappointment and was a huge sticking point for me, but you may find that it doesn't matter to you. I typically run close to the console as I just like the security of the console there if I trip or I like to have the console controls close at hand. Well if you're like me you'll quickly find that there is a plastic belt cover that sticks out from the front of the treadmill that you'll run over with your foot if you come within even a foot of the console when running. This annoyed the heck out of me...I mean, even if that plastic piece with "REEBOK" wasn't there I would still probably hit the far plastic frame piece of the treadmill sometimes. There is no way to change the positioning of this, it's just something you have to get used to, which I'll need to do.
I am contemplating trying to return this to Amazon, but of course that's a couple hundred bucks for shipping it back, plus the nightmare of taking it apart and trying to repackage it. I'm going to try and get used to running back a bit from the console first to see if I can get used to it, which I'm sure it'll be fine, but thought you all should know. As this was a big deal I gave the treadmill only 2 stars, but if it wasn't for that I'd give it 4 or 5.
Summary...
PROS:
Quality made
Good warranty
Great screen quality
Intuitive Controls and display metrics
Easy to fold up
CONS:
Running space in relation to the console
iFit program is really a novelty if you don't want to pay for premium membership
FIRMWARE UPDATE - so terrible, never seen a feature so simple require such a backdoor way to fix
