The treadmill has been returned. I'm waiting for a refund. The item was not what I expected. The quality was terrible. Very cheaply made.

Treadmill works great. Nice and quiet. I've had it now for about 6 months and am very glad I made the purchase. Has a nice smooth feel, just as good as any I used when going to the gym. Product came quickly and in perfect condition. Highly recommend!

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1QHZ3EDKRA4W4 Great treadmill for the $ so far; I chose a Friday 3 hour window to have delivered from company called Ceva- By 9:30pm they had not showed or called/emailed me so I called them.Needless to say I did get it around noon Sat and wrote email to Amazon to let them know how Ceva was- It says if they can't deliver they will contact you-not even an e-mail- Anyway, Amazon was great- they even gave me a $30. credit for my trouble.The main reason I purchased from Amazon was that many people have shipping/service trouble, but Amazon is always right on point with good customer service, and I am glad I did shop here.
735T VS. 715T/725T:
Now- I almost bought the Horizon Evolve only for the portability and storage capability, but I just could not part w/ a bigger motor and the incline. This does have a good motor and though the 725t seemed a good deal and comparable to this- it does not have a lifetime motor warranty. The 715-same thing and it only has manual incline but this 735 has motorized incline and quick keys for incline and speed which is handy.
SIZE:
I really like this unit. My chief complaint is just the fact that you really can't move it. Only 2 very small wheels at base on side where deck folds up. The console itself is huge-about 15.5" vertically and 31.5" across.I am no weakling, and I would never try to move this from room to room-too cumbersome, bulky and the 2 tiny wheels are not in a good place to move it. It takes up alot of space even when "folded" so be sure you really want this in the room you store it. Not something you want in the living room. I honestly thought I'd be able to move in and out of bedroom so I could watch tv and walk. No chance. It has a book rest and my 7in portable dvd player fits so I watch movies instead. I also never thought to MEASURE the width of door opening. Then I figured I could turn or angle it thru if I wanted. NO. You can't. It's too wide even when folded. Folded up it measures 35" when looking from side.32" left to right looking straight on. 55" from floor to top of console, and about 61" from floor to highest part of folded deck.
The pre-sets are cool, and I like the timers. I did 15 minutes and 25 minutes and it auto inclines during workout. All of a sudden it climbed to 2%, then 4 up to 7% and at end it slowly brings you back down. It was challenging for me.I'm 5'8", 148lbs) I was sweating quite a bit at the end. If you have the room, it's a great machine; fun, challenging-I have barely jogged yet, and the incline is awesome. I'd recommend if you're teetering between 735t and 725t that you just go for the 735 if only for the warranty and sturdier frame as well as motor. I also did not have any problems assembling by myself. One hole was a bit off but not too much that it made a difference. I noticed alot of complaints about pre-drilled holes not lining up on the 725 and I think this one may be made a bit better, or they've just remedied the issue. I know I agonized for weeks over which one to get (size issue). Really- they all seem pretty big if you want it to be durable- except for the Evolve- made by same company I believe. So if you have the room, do not expect that you can move from room to room, assemble it in room you will use it in (or you may never get it thru doorway) and are patient with the shipper- go for it. If size and floor space are an issue and you don't care about incline and only plan to walk- maybe the Evolve is best for you. It does actually fold down to 10 inches.Overall, I'm very happy. I made a video of the treadmill but I'm having problems getting it to the Amazon video review. I'll keep trying.
Excellent!!!! June 10, 2010

I purchased the Meit Fitness 735T treadmill with the expectation that it would be "middle of the road." However, to our amazement it does everything that we need and performs just as good as the treadmills at the fitness center. I highly recommend this product.

I like the treadmill. The two negative items are: the on/off switch is located up under the front of the treadmill, instead of being located in a more convenient location and the tolerance for the bolts used in assembly makes it difficult to get the bolts started in the openings.
