ProForm - Carbon TL - Black

Photos of this product shows a montior screen, but it does not come with that screen.. i mainly decided to get it because of that. Guess i should have dug deeper but shame on best buy for even showing that photo in listing. Also, the treadmill is quite loud when running it at running speed.. not sure if its the motor or the running pad. For $600 i guess you cant complain much and does what its meant for otherwise. Good entry level for now, but i think I would have been better off spending a little more money for a better one.

Don’t believe the bad reviews. It’s not junk. It’s not garbage. It’s not going to arrive dead. I don’t know what store all of those claims on the internet are from, but obviously not bestbuy, where you’d be able to return it. That said, it’s not perfect. Here’s a true review from someone who has ran regularly on a gym treadmill for about 13 years. It’s strong, solid and sturdy. It looks nice. It works. Incline is to more like 40 degrees not 10. It is not fast enough for real running, because my son who competed in track events runs faster than 12 MPH, this only goes to 10. Also, I am 5’ 11” 210lbs and on some steps, the tread goes backwards due to my weight, especially at 7MPH, which could lead to injury in some people. Another issue is the handle bars are short. Having full parallel bars like the gym would’ve been better. Another issue is the speed settings. It has buttons in 1 MPH increments. Which is fine. Except if you start at 3 or 6 MPH, it goes straight to the chosen speed. Unlike gym treadmills which increase to that speed gradually. I got this because of the size. Anything that solves all these problems is too big. For the price, this is a great deal. But be warned, you may get dinged for $39 to unlock the treadmill once setup. Because it will not work, until you activate it with iFit. I got hit with a $39 fee. But, supposedly, you can activate it by creating an account for free (credit card required) and then cancelling after activation. Even so, for $39 more, it is still a great deal. Lastly, you need a treadmill mat, to keep noise down. And location matters for noise. It’s best in a corner or on a solid floor. Because you’re not in a gym, the floors are not concrete in most homes.

This treadmill was exactly what we were looking for! It is sturdy but surprisingly quiet to use. We wanted something that can fit in our rather small apartment, but not sacrifice the quality and durability. This is exactly that! Installation took us awhile as the instructions were vague, but have not had a problem with it since. The delivery was seamless and easy, so glad we went with Best Buy.
