For the price it is basic but that does mean simple/easy to use and 'does exactly what it says'! I purchased this treadmill secondhand and it had already been regularly used for 2 years.
The condition on the belt is excellent and takes heavy wear (me and 3 dogs (not at the same time!) really well. The belt is quite wide and long compared to many.
The digital display requires batteries, but these last well. The console is quite self-explanatry and you can either just push the button to go - up or down speed or you can set in how far/how many calories/ how fast exactly etc. It also has a large stop button, for safety.
It comes with a safety key, which you can attach to your belt and will stop the machine immediately if pulled out. It also has a pulse monitor which can go on your earlobe or finger (found this interesting but too tangly to use all the time!)
For me the top speed was more than enough. You can do a good fast aerobic run. May not be fast enough for those in training for competitions etc though.
It has three manual incline positions, which can be set before you start. Easy and simple to use.
As I can only run on a treadmill and not hard ground (bad knees!), I found the shock absorbtion more than adequate.
A good overall well-rounded treadmill, it doesn't sing or dance, but does exactly what you need!
