In short: If you are thinking about buying this treadmill and are looking at reviews to decide if it's worth it, go ahead and buy it. The value for the price is exceptional, and the GOYOUTH customer service is excellent.
If you remember nothing else:
-Keep the treadmill lubricated. Follow the manufacturer's instructions closely. This is important.
-If you need to tighten or adjust the belt, (seriously) only do a quarter turn at a time unless you know what you are doing.
-Take a break if the motor or belt gets too hot. Put it on a pad instead of on carpet for better airflow if you need to.
-Email GOYOUTH customer service and attach a video of whatever problem you are running into. They will very nicely tell you how to keep it from breaking.
Full story:
I've had this treadmill for just shy of a year, having purchased in January of 2023. The first couple of months, I used it pretty infrequently - few hours here or there couple of times a week and things were easy and seamless. As the year progressed, I started using the treadmill more and more often until it was seeing a few miles of walking 4 or 5 times a week.
When I first ran into trouble, full disclosure, it was my fault. I didn't do enough research to know how or when to maintain this piece of equipment and - I cannot stress this enough - did not understand how important it is to keep the machine well lubricated for the best running. Every time I reached out for help, the customer service team would watch the short video and send back tips and directions for how to get it back in good working order.
I continued using this treadmill more and more over the days and weeks until I've been walking 5 miles a day, 6-7 days a week. Take good care of this machine and you will absolutely get your money's worth. The ability to walk while working and get some exercise while filling out spreadsheets has been nothing short of life changing.
In the end, when I needed a replacement, I think they had it shipped out to me way faster than expected, especially in the middle of the holiday season. Any doubts I had about whether or not this purchase was worthwhile are gone after seeing how kind and quick their customer service team has been resolving any issues that cropped up (which were almost all my fault).
Is it perfect? No - the remote's only OK and she's loud when you plug her in for the first time, but this is probably the best value to money purchase I've made this year. Maybe in years. Buy it.
