What customers say about "Key Specs"

LifeSpan TR1200i Folding Treadmill

I found assembly very easy, did it myself in an hour without help. Instructions and illustrations actually corresponded to reality.
Speed and incline buttons on the handles allow changes without breaking gait to reach out to the console.
This treadmill’s top speed is 11 mph. Most treadmills top out at 10 mph.
It is easily foldable thanks to the LifeSpan EZfold technology which assists in folding and unfolding as well as frees up space in your home.
Unfortunately, within a few days, the speed started to suddenly accelerate and you have to jump off the platform.

LifeSpan TR3000i Touch Folding Treadmill, Gray/Black

Good size for home use. I don't feel cramped on the platform, and it easily folds up and down.
The motorized ramp provides 15 incline levels. Training with the incline helps increase calorie loss and tones legs even better than flat-track training.
I like that you can change incline and speed on both the console and the heart rate sensors.
You should think again before purchasing it because the running belt is not too spacious for taller runners.
The handrails of this version of treadmill by LifeSpan are not as long as some would like.

What customers say about "Design"

LifeSpan TR1200i Folding Treadmill

Sure you can hear the motor, what do you expect. But it is so quiet you have the TV on normal level and still hear it.
Since it’s two-ply and moves along wide rollers, this belt is more durable than that of other starter treadmills. It’s supported by shock absorbers and a cushioned deck.
The motor is very quiet when running. Your footsteps make more noise.
The cushion was something I wasn't sure about, but it is excellent with this unit and it is also very quiet. Much more quiet than I anticipated.
Loved it for the first 2 months, then it started making a clicking noise. It got so loud that headphones didn't dampen the noise and I was too annoyed to run.

LifeSpan TR3000i Touch Folding Treadmill, Gray/Black

The motor runs smooth and is very quiet. It looks and feels pretty sturdy.
The motor is whisper quiet and it is steady as a rock! Was going to get the TR2000i but decided to spend a bit extra for this model, I am glad I did.
While these treadmills are suitable for most folks, they may feel less sturdy to heavy users.
It is amazingly quiet at low speeds but gets noisier the faster it is going.
Motor died after 6 months of use every other day.

What customers say about "Features"

LifeSpan TR1200i Folding Treadmill

Seventeen preset programs, two heart rate control programs, and two user-controlled programs provide an excellent workout variety.
The manual does show all the programs in it and charts with the speeds. This is great because most treadmills don't give you all the details about the programs.
High-fidelity speakers, a headphone jack, and a smartphone port help make time fly on the TR1200i.
The heart rate sensors built into the handles don't work. The reading fluctuates wildly between 50-122 beats/minute when my direct carotid pulse is actually 130 beats.
It seems like console is not working properly when you press the start button but you need to hold start button after it sleeps

LifeSpan TR3000i Touch Folding Treadmill, Gray/Black

The console is pretty basic and shows you everything you need to see including incline, calories, steps, speed, distance and heart rate.
LifeSpan TR3000i treadmill has great patented features Intelli-Guard, Intelli-Step and Intelli-Key.
Heart rate monitor seems pretty erratic. Apparently your hands need to be moist for it to operate well.
The speakers are pretty awful sounding, I'm not sure what the point of the Bluetooth is. I downloaded the LifeSpan app but couldn't get it to do anything useful.
Program buttons can be confusing. Nothing to show on the unit what each program does so I hunt an peck to find one then I really can't tell based on the display what it is going to do.
