Two day shipping is a misnomer - it was 2 days to the third party delivery company, then I had to wait a week for the delivery company to have a truck with a lift bed scheduled in my area. The delivery agent brought the box inside my living room. Install was a piece of cake, with a second person holding the console up while I connected 3 wires. Everything was functional out of the box, except that the running deck is not level (2 inches high in front) and the rear feet are only slightly adjustable (and no instructions in the user's manual on adjusting them). Too bad I had to contact customer service on the first day of use. Worse is that Sole does NOT respond to email contact. But they were quick to answer the phone, and promised a technician would be at my house within a week. A week later, the technicians arrived to say that the rear feet are at their max extension and we could try placing coasters under them to get the deck to be level. So the advertised 0-degree incline is not actually possible without bracing/propping up the deck.
I use this treadmill strictly for running, averaging 25 miles per week at speeds from 6-10 mph. Some of the console features seem oddly lacking for a treadmill at this price. The distance reads only to the tenth of a mile, not hundredths, effectively rounding down all your distances (unless you can estimate hundredths by portion of the track icon that's filled in). And the time reads only 2 digits for minutes, then flips back to zero after 99 minutes. This might not matter to you unless you spend 2-3 hours on the machine for long workouts. This treadmill takes much longer to speed up and slow down than a gym treadmill; this makes interval training very different. There's about a 20-second lag between the speed you punch in and the belt reaching that programmed speed. While the speed has both a numeric display and a round spedometer-like graphic, both of them read only what you've punched in, not what the belt is actually turning, and you get no indication when the belt has reached that programmed speed (all speeds in the meantime are a mystery). The quick speed buttons of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 12 may be convenient for walkers, but runners will still spend much of their time pressing and holding the speed up/down buttons. The fan has only one speed (weak). The speakers are adequate for my iPod, but there is no volume control on the console, so you have to be able to reach the input device to change it.
