Nautilus - T618 Treadmill - Black

I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and it was a big wake up call to get in better shape. I was just walking around our neighborhood for exercise and a truck hopped the curb and almost ran me over on the sidewalk. That's when I decided to get a treadmill. After much research I settled on the T618 because of the power, incline and near commercial grade use which I wanted because I'm a bigger guy. Since having this machine and using it 5 days a week, I've lost 40lbs. Another tip is, if you have a flex-plan through your employer, you can get a letter of medical necessity from your doctor "if obesity or diabetes is an issue" and can get reimbursed through flex-plan if preapproved.

It’s great!! Just like in the picture is the real thing.

Ironically, I like the treadmill. It wasn't too hard to put together. Some instructions were a little confusing trying to decipher the pictures. The unit is solid and heavy. It was packed well. Unfortunately, it had a knocking noise coming from the engine. (not the belt). I called Nautilus, and they sent me a new motor to install myself. Due to Covid, they couldn't send someone. The online instructions to install were somewhat tricky. The belt had to have the right tension, the distance from the speed sensor had to be perfect... too many things for me to screw up. The bolts to loosen the motor were tough to get to, if you have big hands. I decided that I spent too much money on this to do it myself. Thus, I returned it hassle free to Best Buy. Kudos to them. Would I buy again? I am still debating. Besides, I am stuck with an extra motor from Nautilus. Hard to beat the warranty of 5 years on parts and 2 on labor. I think the whole Lifetime on motor and frame is joke. Really, who keeps a treadmill that long anyways? 10-15r years is plenty. At 253 pounds, it is built like a tank. I may look at the T616 or the Sole F63. Maybe, the Horizon 7.0At. - just to save money, not due to quality. Right now, everyone has the prices jacked up. So, I will wait until they normalize.

The Best Buy team assembled the treadmill quickly and efficiently. Everything on the treadmill works correctly. Sometimes when my husband uses the treadmill it squeaks. Will have to see if this continues. The only negative is the safety switch. I wish the rope to wrap around your hand was longer. I have reached up to wipe my face a couple of times and I pulled the safety switch out of the machine, which not only stops the treadmill but it wipes out all of the information regarding your current workout. You have to turn the machine back on and start from the beginning.

This is good quality and heavy. Geek Squad was on time and very professional. They carried it to basement, put it together and took away the boxes and the old treadmill.

This is our 1st demi expensive treadmill and was concerned about durability. It's great - easy to store and drop for usage. Works fantastic

Works great! Good on knees and looks great in our room! Connectivity to phone via app does not work.

I absolutely love this treadmill. I last bought one about 12 years ago. This is so quiet!!!
