Full Peloton Tread Review: techfordaddy.com/peloton-trea...
I've been using the Peloton Tread for over a year now and I wanted to do a follow up to my 6-month Peloton Treadmill Review. Peloton has done a fantastic job keeping classes and content coming daily even during a pandemic.
My review of the Peloton Tread features a lot of what I love about the treadmill and a few things that still bother me. Overall, I am still very please with this purchase.
If you are thinking about getting a Peloton Tread, I would highly recommend it. It is a lot of money but if you finance it, it's roughly the same price as a gym membership. Plus, you get to workout at home, never have to wait to use the equipment, and don't have o worry about germs.

Loved hearing this review! I just ordered my tread and it will arrive next Monday. Although I wish I could have ordered the model that you have, I think I’ll be really happy with the tread. Peloton’s instructor content is incredible.

This is a weird question, but on the ledge below the screen, can you fit a 13 inch laptop there? I’d like to put my work laptop there and work while walking. And if I do put a laptop there, will the shaking while walking make the laptop fall?

@dad.0 3 года назад

I have done it. It will fit but I have to prop on the front bar as well as the trayl. Walking is fine but running might make it shake

Thanks for the review - really helpful. How much height does the Tread add in the fully 'up' position? Trying to figure my maximum needed height in the basement...

@dad.0 3 года назад

Depends on if you run on the front, middle, or back of the treadmill. Obviously, the further back you, the lower you’ll be from the ceiling. At 15 degree incline, you’re adding roughly 5-10 inches I’d say

Excellent review. Does it brick on you if you stop the monthly subscription payment? Is the subscription transferrable, i.e. selling the unit to someone. Thanks.

@dad.0 3 года назад

It can still be used but there will be no content. The subscription is month to month so selling the tread would just mean the new owner would get their own subscription

@helpvid 3 года назад

Thank you for the review... What happens without the subscription, Is that only for live classes of do you loose features? I would invest in one finance but no way I would pay for a subscription so is it still worthwhile

Question if i dont wanna run to classes, can i watch tv on the peloton or Netflix? Also how much of the time when using the scenic runs does the app tend to crash, i would hate to run 5 miles and than it crashes and wipes out my progress. Final question, does the peloton record your stats and give you advice on what you should do better on your run? Last question, really this time, precor or the peloton?

@Max-qd5lq 3 года назад

I don’t have one yet but I’m fairly confident it has at least netflix

@Max-qd5lq 3 года назад

Apparently the answer is no, you can modify it but you’d lose warranty and support so I wouldn’t recommend it

@dad.0 3 года назад

Nope, nothing but the Peloton software right now. The scenic run crashing issue has been fixed (thank god). It does record your stats/trends but no coaching or advice. I haven't personally tried precor but I am loving the Peloton (even if I think its a bit overpriced).

I have had the Peloton tread for almost 2 years. Starting 7 months ago the tread began to abruptly stop while I was running or walking and the screen would read "tread has stopped communicating". Sometimes the screen would then shut down or continue to not communicating with the tread. The tread does not just slow down when this happens. I could be going 9mph and it stops me in my tracks. It is extremely dangerous. Peloton has been awful! I have been trying to get them out to the house for the past 5 months. They were set to arrive for repair December 4th but did not show. Now, they have rescheduled for January 11th. FYI if you have trouble with your treadmill do not expect to get it repaired quickly!

@dad.0 3 года назад

Sorry to hear that. Sounds dangerous!

@janellenelson5162 3 года назад

Has it been repaired yet?

@TheScottAF 3 года назад

I am considering buying the Tread+ but am worried about this same issue. Also, what you describe is a very common treadmill issue, when there is any sort of friction or extensive use on treadmills the motor can overheat, when this happens the treadmill is designed to shut down to prevent damage. It is usually indicative of a mechanical problem or part failure and most of the time the belt needs replacing or repair. I hope you can get yours fixed soon!

@ejhayes76 3 года назад

Your setup is obviously way below the Peloton recommended space of 2' front/side and 6' rear of the tread. Do you have any concerns with the small space the Tread is located in? Also, did the delivery installers hesitate due to the small space? My ideal space is only slightly bigger than where you have your Tread located. I don't care about doing activity right next to the treadmill. I have another space for yoga and strength exercises. Thanks.

@dad.0 3 года назад

WAY smaller lol. Nope, I just pointed where to put it and they went to work... no questions asked. In fact, one of the guys was probably 6'8'' and was nearly banging his head on our ceiling installing it

However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(canyoutalk) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
