46cm is aroudn 1.5 feet wide. If you are a broad person or have a wide stride, I would not recommend this.
If you're patient, I'd recommend bidding on one of these off Ebay. They are continuously auctioning off a bunch of them, and I was able to grab one for around $450 last year. I run about 10km on it every day, and I haven't had a problem with it.
It has 2.5 continuous horsepower, maximum speed of 22KM/H, 20 level incline, 102 preset programs and a wide mat at 54cm.

~$93 to ship to NSW
Average price is 650-700. Its alot more expensive
What is your average speed you use on it by the way?
Yeah…just had a look at some recent completed Ebay listings. It looks like they are now going for around $200 more now. When I bought mine last year, they were consistently going for less than $500, and I'm pretty sure that shipping wasn't that expensive either. I think I only paid around $500 all up.
What speed do you usually set it on, and do you think 46cm is wide enough for a person who is approx 180cm tall and 73kg?
I usually average around 13km/hr. I'm about the same height and weight as you.
I really couldn't tell you if 46cm is wide enough. This is pretty much the only treadmill I've ever used, so I'm not sure if that extra 8cm makes a massive difference. FWIW, I don't think I've ever gone close to hitting the side on this, so I don't think it would be a problem.
I won an auction in ebay for this machine:
http://www.lifespanfitness.com.au/Torque_2 for $550 plus shipping. Considering the specs of these two machines I would say that the Aldi one is expensive…
Here is another one from ebay, current bidding price @ $275

You need 3 people to carry this 84kg treadmill. Shame that Aldi doesn't offer home delivery service. Any private courier service do pickup and delivery under $50 in Sydney CBD?
They also wont help you carry it into the car. According to them it is a oh&s issue…even if you're heavily pregnant.
So make sure you have some friends to help
Imagine if you brought one which is faulty, it's going to cost you a lot more than $500. I think it's better buy online and get free courier pick up & delivery during the 12 months warranty period.
Dealdirect sometime they have free shipping or $2 shipping.
I've tried adding it in the cart to see, but shipping still shows
That is why I said sometime so not now.
As I remember they have $2 free shipping a few weeks ago.
"they have $2 free shipping a few weeks ago."
I've seen free shipping cheaper than that in the past.
Not 15% off treadmill when they had free shipping or $2 shipping as far as I know. Btw, 15% off is a lot better than free shipping with 0% discount.
That's a lot better than Aldi's one and the delivery cost is only $44.25. What a bargain!
Personally I think you'd burn more calories at an Aldi checkout.
What, standing around waiting?
He means you have to take the Treadmill to the counter to pay for it and take to home :p
Still cheaper then paying a gym membership just to use the treadmill
Any comments on the bike?
