I purchased this treadmill for my wife who works from an office in our home. She purchased a sit/stand desk the beginning of this year to promote flexibility, but found that she still felt stiff during and especially at the end of a long workday. She really enjoys periodic walks, but her job requires her to be on call so she cannot get out and about in our neighborhood during the workday. We also live in south Central Texas, so a mid-day stroll in August isn’t necessarily a pleasant experience. The Spacewalk1 treadmill was ready to go out of the box. My wife was able to set it up on her own under her desk. Even though it is a bit heavy, it easy to maneuver with its wheeled corners. She moves it back and forth in her office or in and out of an adjoining bedroom as needed. The max speed is about 4-1/2 miles per hour, which is plenty fast for my wife who usually runs it at a 2 mile per hour pace. The frame and base are very sturdy when walking on the treadmill. We have hardwood floors and low pile carpet in our house. You feel stable and supported wherever the treadmill is placed in our home. I feel like I received great value for my purchase.
