Review on Merit 715T Plus Treadmill

Pros:
Compact, quiet motor, smooth belt for walking (doesn't skip), Ipad rests perfectly on the top. Pleased with our purchase after the first week.

Slight cons:
Speed increments by .5mph instead of .1mph like most gym treadmills.
Incline has to be done manually, not a button on the board.

Suggestions after using it the first week:
Putting together the treadmill was a little frustrating. The extension rods (silver) cannot be tightened all the way like the manual suggests or else there is not enough slack to attach the board. Make sure you do not tighten them all the way. When you put the computer board on, you will need some wiggle in the rods. We learned this on our second attempt putting it together. It will fit but it might take some trial and error... and most likely two people.

If the belt feels like it's loose/skipping when you're walking, be sure to read the manual about how to tighten the belt. I was unhappy with the slipping until I got the belt tight enough for quick walking.
