BodyCraft 1180 Light Commercial Folding Treadmill

BodyCraft’s top-of-the-line unit, the 1180 light commercial folding treadmill will keep you feeling fit even as the weather outside turns dismal. The 1180 is distinguished by a 3-horsepower, continuous-duty motor that delivers a smooth, challenging workout, along with a 58-by-20-inch running surface with eight kinetic energy dampers to cushion the knees and joints. Users also have their choice of 15 preset, three custom, and three heart-rate-controlled (HRC) programs, depending on their skill and preference levels. The HRC programs are particularly challenging, as the treadmill will continually change its resistance during your workout to keep you at your preferred heart rate.

    Came in 1 large box on two pallets. Unpackaging and assembly took about an hour. A couple of the bolts were loose.

    Pros: Strong motor, durable belt gives lots of confidence it will work for a long time, easy to lube, folds up, has wheels for moving short distances. Three in my family have been using lightly for about 10 months. Fan works OK. (Haven’t used speakers so no comment there).

    Cons: Very heavy (to move to another room or fold up), Sticker on back warns to unplug immediately after use but gives no reason, heart monitor built into handle is too sporatic to be useful (manual actually says to get off belt to use it), included Polar chest strap heart monitor which worked GREAT, but was dead after 2 uses with no opening to replace batteries (replacement of whole strap is expensive), display just says “?” with no explanation in manual that heart monitor wasn’t working, display very primitive (as an engineer I’ve designed better), automatically starts at 0.5mph should start at 2.5mph (paranoidedly slow), belt seems about 5 inches too narrow, if you go to end of belt you feel deck bending and hear odd squeek, bookrest bolts could hold up a house. Built-in programs only last 10 minutes. No way to switch from heart rate mode to manual without turning off and on again. When positioning yourself with respect to where the handles and display console are, your feet will almost clip the front motor plate.
