The TR200 MyTread Experience… from Bruce Pechman

"My personal use of the TR200 MyTread for almost a month has been nothing less than stellar and I love it! It has a rock solid frame, and it combines high-end treadmill features and attributes with the bonus of folding away quickly and easily by just turning the blue round caps on each side at the bottom deck (remember to lift the quick release lever). The console controls are simple and intuitive to use."

"There really is no other treadmill to consider in the “Home Ultra Compact” category. The closest competitor, the Evolve treadmill by Horizon, is the same price BUT can’t do ANY incline, has a smaller motor, and has no lifetime warranty on its frame."
