Use a towel during assembly., November 6, 2007 By E. Leroy Plumlee “Former Runner” (Bellingham, WA)

Two points about my new Bowflex 7. 1. [...] However, you WILL need at least a couple of young, strong helpers…..maybe more if you live upstairs like I do. Whew, is it EVER heavy.
2. When putting it together you might save yourself lots of effort and time if you put a towel across the front end of the belt. All of us say, “Heck, I won’t drop any of these screws I’m using to put the thing together.” But the odds are pretty good you will. And there is NO good place for them to go when they fall. If you catch them on the towel you’ll save yourself lots of anguish.
And thanks to all of you who have written about your strong recommendations. That’s why I bought the SEVEN. I can feel myself getting skinny already.

Bowflex Series 7 Threadmill, November 21, 2007 By Dave “Dave” (Derby, Ct)

This IS by far the best threadmill I had seen while shopping. Blows Horizon right out of the water! What you see in Dick’s or Sport’s Authority does not hold a candle to Bowflex! The one suggestion I can give, and have seen it on evry review, is make sure you set it up where you do intend to use it. YES, it is heavy, but solid as a rock.

Wonderful treadmill for home use, December 10, 2007 By M. Arroyo “mad-catter” (Frazier Park, CA)

I am rating this as a home-use treadmill, not a professional one found at most membership gyms. I am very happy with this treadmill. My husband and I recently moved to a rural area (no gym within site for at least 50 miles) and he wasn’t crazy about me walking outside in the dark as the days shortened, what with loose dogs and crazy drivers, but that’s another story! Anyway, my husband found this treadmill at a Costco for $1,000.00 and asked me about it and we went and bought it that weekend. He had it set up within an hour with a little help from me.

I think it is very solid and quiet considering that it isn’t my dream professional treadmill by Star Trac which runs about $5,000. I walk, run, sprint, and do incline with no problems. I even rolled it into the living room across thick carpet to watch TV during a workout and only had a bit of trouble getting it back because I had to pull it and there are no handles to use. I also don’t mind the button layout as I just use the up/down arrow buttons and don’t worry about the double-duty enter/cool-down button on the right side. The fan is okay, wish it was a bit stronger. I also love the part of the display that shows how far around you are on a 1/4 mile track. Maybe it’s silly, but this really motivates me!

We don’t have children, but there are many way to ensure that they don’t accidentally turn it on and get hurt. There of course is the power cord which can simply be unplugged from the wall or the treadmill itself. There’s a power switch at the bottom in front which has to be on for the power button on the display to work. And there is the kill switch/cord that IMMEDIATELY turns the treadmill off when pulled out or disables the treadmill when out. I think it was mentioned in a previous review that this cord can simply be pulled out and hidden away, there is no way to use the treadmill without it.
