Completely reasonable for a lot of people. You want more, pay more.
It’s basically a “walking pad” with a decent-ish looking support rail.
I have one and it’s fine.. easy to store as it can go under a couch etcdo you find its useful? If you're under 90kg and an average height, you're probably already fit enough from doing something else. At the very least, going for a walk around the block would be better. Never been a fan of treadmills for the average person. You may as well run/jump on the spot and spend the money on a bigger tv.
@mit: I find it’s useful, I can exercise while watching tv and if it’s wet then there’s that option.
Of course a proper run or cycle is better, but it’s a good option, especially if you can’t leave the house because of young kids.@[Deactivated]: Thanks. I tend to opt for full body workouts if I'm stuck at home. I forget just getting your HR up is enough to make it worth it. I just personally don't see the value in a treadmill but I'd happily buy a bar, weights and rack whereas others would be the opposite. At least you can watch TV without stopping. Bit harder for other exercises.
@mit: I don't know what other people do with their treadmill, but I have a PC monitor in front of me so I watch videos while running. The idea that I can watch my favourite show makes me want to run everyday. Without it I'm very good at finding excuses to work instead.
Looks like there's no heart rate monitor on it either… super fail.
Just use a watch or band
I thought this was a joke about how stupid OP's comment was… Then I scrolled up and saw you are OP.
@Joker042: What was stupid about my original comment? Imagine if a bathroom scale had a maximum weight of 90kg. This is no different really.
@Mondorock: As long as it performs to its stated spec, it's fine. What some guy on ozbargain who likes to get high huffing spec sheets thinks isn't really relevant. If you want more, pay more.
In this day and age, people use watches for that. I have no need for the treadmill to have that. You look like an idiot holding on to that handrail just to measure your heart rate. This is 2022 already.
@clubhonda: I don't have a watch of any kind, let alone a smart watch. I honestly wasn't aware that people don't use the treadmill's built-in heart rate monitors anymore.
@Mondorock: Not to mention you can buy a decent chest or arm band for $20-30 that’ll last for a year on battery.
Nice. Needed something to hang the clothes off in our spare room.

Anyone has this? Compare with yesoul or renpho?
Anyone have any experience with their weights? Assuming you're looking for non plastic ones, from what I can see this seems decent given its 20kg per bell
https://bestbuys.coles.com.au/products/2x-powertrain-20kg-ge…?I was actually eyeing this exact set pre covid from klika.
Prices was $309 free shipping back in Jan 2020, went up to $4xx post covid and now selling for $549 +$47 shipping.
$269 shipped is a great price and I ended up placing an order tonight.There seems to be limited reviews on this particular set, but this vid explained the general differences between various types of adjustable dumbbells:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qlUgU2FpUMBased on the vid, the pros are: quick to change, space saving, small increments (16 weight settings between 5-45lbs), good hand feel/balance, mechanism seemed relatively secure (not 100% sure on this though as the reviewer only used it for short term)
Cons: only 20kg, cannot upgrade for more weights, increments not as intuitive (goes down sometimes)The alternative would be normal dumbbells, probably cheaper but takes longer to change weights etc.
Thanks for the reply that's a good point on them being non upgradeable but i'd have to love working out a whole lot more to want to have a weight stand around :p
Going to place an order too, cheers
Did it give you an eta on delivery? Can you let me know what you think please?
The 24kg version of powertrain1 are a lot more expensive at $520@Bezoo: We’ve got your order. Our supplier will dispatch it in 1 to 2 business days.
If you ordered a bulky item, the supplier will contact you within 2 business days to organise delivery.
Once your order has been dispatched, we'll send you another email with tracking information.
@chew_chew: Item dispatched from Braeside, VIC.
Looks like they are shipping the dumbbells in 2 separate boxes.
If you as an adult is already under 90kg in weight then you probably already are at a fit weight.
That's complete rubbish. I'm an adult weighing at 55kg but I'm nowhere near fit. Being fit is being able to run 2.4km in under 10mins, being able to compete in a regional BJJ tournament without breaking into a sweat, all of which I used to be able to do, but is currently far from it. Weight itself isn't a good gauge of being fit.
2.4 km in 10 min = 14.4 km/h. Which means this treadmill is useless for you as it's max speed is 10 km/h. So it's useless for the fit, and it's useless for the unfit too (>90kg). Great buy.
Good point. The speed doesn't seem adequate. I can understand if it's mph, but seems a tad slow if it's km/h
