Weslo Cadence G40 Treadmill 4.3 5 497 567
Love it! I made it a point to read every review before I purchased this product and I'm very happy that I did! So far, it has worked great for me. I had it assembled at my local WM (for FREE) so I didn't have any of the assembling issues discussed by other buyers. The fact that it folds up to store out of the way (I'm in a 2nd floor apartment) was a big reason I bought it. This treadmill does just what I need it to do. It's uncomplicated and simple to use. I have found it to be very sturdy and user-friendly. It stores easily and out of my way during the day but goes into place easily in the mornings when I use it. As far as the comments on the "calories burned" display, I've used the equation to figure the true calories burned as suggested in a post but I decided to use the amount it says because my heartrate gets up to about 150+ while on it and because of that, I'm still burning calories at a high rate when I get off of it. I do 45 minutes a day at 4mph burning about 500 calories according to the display. That's my daily goal! Using the equation puts me at about burning 396 calories, so I write off the other 104 calories because Ill burn at least that much within the next hour or two after I'm done anyway. I've checked with my downstairs neighbors and according to them, they do not hear my treadmill, so this treadmill is not excessively loud. I watch my TV or a DVD while on it and I don't have to turn it up much louder than usual. Overall, this is an exceptional treadmill in my opinion. I did purchase the 2 year extended warranty because it was only an additional $22 and that is well worth it to me. Also, I have already seen a weight loss and I've had this treadmill since the first of Oct. 2009. 11/03/2009
I LOVE this treadmil Ok so I researched this product before I bought it. I found several websites that BASHED this product as worthless, but reviews on walmart were good SOOO I went ahead and bought it. Now They have those displays of their products, you know? Weslo looked pitiful compared to the others but I couldn't afford the more expensive ones and figured if I didn't like it I could bring it back! That was about a month ago. I use it everyday for at least 30 minutes (an hour today) at 2.5mph. I'm a total couch potato so I'm slow! Anyway The incline makes my legs burn within the first 5-10 minutes. So I had to take the incline off and just walk straight. I can easily walk for a half hour to an hour and could probably do more if I didn't get bored. Ah yes the bordom factor! Luckily I own a laptop and found a board that fit perfectly across the bars (I guess ur spose to hold on to these bars?) and I play games on my laptop while I walk, or watch a movie. Now I know someone out there is wondering how much I weigh! SO I'll tell ya, I'm 5'2 and I weigh 200lbs! I'm 24 years old, female. 2 years ago I only weighed 130lbs. But I got lazy. I don't eat a lot I just don't really move... I lay in bed ALL DAY. People say this thing is loud? But I don't think so. Some people are concerned about it being flimsy? it's made of metal! I haven't run on it yet because well, I don't have the lungs for that yet but my husband (whose a stick btw) ran on it and got tired and said he felt a work out. (He's not lazy like me either) So I COULD have bought the fancier one but I'm figuring I get the same effect on my "cheap" treadmill so I feel like I saved money and got a bargain. This thing goes to 10mph, hubby tried it and got thrown off haha. THe display is easy to read, heart rate monitor I'm not so sure that's accurate but everything else seems about right. I like to watch the "track" and picture myself going around that track. It's too hot here to go walking outside. (I live in south texas weather station says not to go outside for more than 5 minutes if you don't have to due to the heat) At any rate I do love this product and DO think it's WELL WORTH the money. I sleep better because I'm actually DOING something instead of laying in bed watching tv all day. My back doesn't hurt anymore and my body just feels better. Besides if you don't like it just return it! Don't lose your receipt. People have different opinions and experiences. I happen to love this thing. Double thumbs up. I'm going to start making more of an effort to walk at least 2 miles a day and add some lipo-6 pills and lose some weight. Hope my review has helped someone out there. 07/09/2009
excellent Works great for the price.When I read reviews I was concerned about the sturdiness of the machine but it is very sturdy, does not wobble regardless of speed. I was also concerned with the width of the side rails but my feet fit just fine as do my husbands.Good:-belt is very smooth-not as loud as I read, comparable to gym quality machines-assembly direction very well written-durable-speed increases/decreases rapidly when neededBad:-heart rate monitor not accurate (although most machines that have this device rarely are)-display panel a bit darker than most-display panel looked really "plastically" at first but once it was assembled and used it works very wellTips:When setting up you really do need two people. Don't get over anxious about tightening the bolts until the directions say to and DO NOT remove any of the twist (not zip) ties-they are there for a specific reason. There are a couple of white zip ties that need to be removed before you place the panel on the machine (the directions did not say anything about them).Overall this machine works very well. Having experience with many gym treadmill this one works in a comparable manner. I use it for running on but works really well for walking too. 12/19/2007
Better Than Expected This is my very first treadmill, I didn't know what to expect. I put this product together myself and found it to be more than what I expected. The fact that it's not manual and the belt moves automatically is totally awesome. You can decide to use one of the 4 installed programs which changes the speed automatically at different times, which can be quite challenging. It runs smooth and is durable. Well worth the price, awesome product. 02/01/2010
