I’m also not going to roast Peloton. It’s a good treadmill. It just has some quirks, and there are a few things that feel missing for something that costs this much. If I’d had more uninterrupted time to really use it right away, I probably would have returned it. That didn’t happen.

Owned Tread model- screen would mildly shake during incline walks. Barely used it but after the software updates the screen started to malfunction and they wouldn’t replace it. Sold it for a loss but I’m no longer giving my money to a company that doesn’t own up to its mistakes.

i never touch the bike now. i LOVE the tread - pace targets are great and really put a good structure to the classes. btw i bought my tread used on FB marketplace and got a great deal ;) highly suggest checking there if you go for the Tread.

That said, the standard Peloton Tread is no slouch and provides fantastic value for most people. It delivers engaging workouts without the steep premium. Weigh your fitness goals, joint health, space, and budget carefully.
