Bowflex never disappoints me with their products. Long time ago I purchased bike and I love it. When I decided to buy threadmill nothing came to mind but bowflex. This threadmill is perfect for my need. It's easy to assemble, quite and most of all good quality.

I was so happy I chose Bowflex to replace my old Nordick Track. The Bowflex is sleeker and looks great in my basement gym. It is easy to use and very comfortable.
No, I wouldn't buy this product again

It is very hard to make it start, and add information for each person, can't even start after paused, it is not worth my money buying this machine I'm very disappointed I'll not recommend this machine to anyone.

- Q
what is the HP on the motor ?
- Asked by paul
- Verified Reply - MorganHello! The outlets in your home are designed to carry a safe amount of current, which is less than the amount required for our treadmill motors to run at their maximum rated horsepower. Because of this, our treadmills are designed for their motors to function at less than their maximum potential continuous HP output while being capable of delivering belt speeds of up to 12 mph.Was this answer helpful to you
