***NOTE: I added 8 pictures of the treadmill on the product page for your reference. If you'd like to see more, let me know.
My 14 year-old Weslo treadmill was intermittently turning off and so I decided it was time to retire it. I purchased the Proform Pro 4500 because of the features and the outstanding deal I found - I got it for the same price as the Proform Pro 2500 Amazon had as the Deal of The Day - which was amazing. Since this is a new machine, there aren't many independent reviews out there and the places I did find reviews for it seemed to be marketing and sales sites, so I was a little nervous about shelling out a lot of $$ for it and then getting stuck with a bad product. Needless to say, my fears faded away once I received it and started using it.
I have to say, this is one big piece of machinery - it looks like the treadmills used at pro gyms only not as wide. It comes in a huge box, so your best bet is to open the box outside of your home, then bring in the smaller pieces. If you can get a 3rd person to help, it would be a great benefit as this thing is HEAVY by the motor unit - you'll need 2 people there. I took my time putting it together and after a couple of hours, I was done. It's a foldable treadmill so it saves you some space as it is very long. Lifting it does not take a great deal of force and lowering it is a snap as it slowly eases down without much assistance from you.
It comes with a 10" screen that runs Android and allows you to connect to anything on the internet (it comes with several bookmarked sites) and also comes with a free 1 year membership to iFit Live - which would normally cost you $120: just go to the iFit.com site, register, and you're good to go. Multiple users can store their individual workout information as well which is very convenient as I share the treadmill with my wife and our neighbor.
Having used an old, simple treadmill for so long, when I first looked at the control panel of the Pro 4500, I felt like I was looking at something from a sci-fi movie - lots of symbols, colors, and buttons, so there's quite a bit to learn and absorb. Once you get up to speed, you can definitely enhance your workouts by selecting from all of the available options. It has various workout programs for each type of exercise regimen and automatically adjusts the incline accordingly, and you can establish workout goals as well. What really blew my mind was the ability to use Google Maps to outline the route you want to run - anywhere in the world, which is incredible as you can view the area you're "running" through - it was fun running through sunny Hawaii while still in dreary NYC: the miracles of modern technology never cease to amaze me. It's a welcome relief from the boredom of running on a treadmill. The built-in fan is a little noisy, but you can overcome it by connecting your mp3 or CD player to the built-in stereo speakers and listen to your favorite music - the sound quality was pretty good. You can measure your heart rate by either holding the handgrips or through the use of the wireless chest strap, which is a bonus - there was a slight difference in the readings between them when I tried them, but it was negligible. I haven't been able to try out all of the workouts as there are so many to choose from - both stored and online, but it's just a matter of time. I haven't tried the Jillian Michaels regimen via the iFit website, but that's also for another day - like I said, alot of options.
I have really enjoyed this treadmill so far and I am extremely glad that I got it. I never thought I'd actually enjoy working out, but with access to the internet, the use of routes recorded in high quality video, and the multitude of features, I can honestly say I look forward to it. As for the overall noise factor, for such a powerful motor, it makes less noise than my old Weslo, which is surprising. It's a solid piece of equipment and comes with a decent warranty - 5 years parts and 2 years labor. Hopefully I won't have any problems as it has a lot more electronics than my old Weslo - I connected it to the Belkin BE112230-08 12-Outlet Home/Office Surge Protector with Telephone and Coaxial Protection capable of sustaining 3940 joules (which I highly recommend for all high-priced electronics).
To sum it up, this is a great treadmill and if you can get it on sale, grab it.

I purchased this product from Amazon.com. After I put the treadmill together, all the keys on the console don't work, only the touch screen work. The machine can't complete the incline calibration and got stuck in the middle. I called customer support but nobody pick up the call for hours. It's just no customer service at all.

I purchased the treadmill as a gold box deal and received the item within 10 days. The package is huge and heavy (350lbs) and the delivery service would only after a soft persuasion bring the box to the garage. I was traveling and it would have been impossible for my wife to move the box anywhere.
We disassembled the package in the garage and carried the treadmill piece by piece to its final location. Yet the actual motor and treadmill unit were still difficult to handle and we got some rollers and a skateboard to move it to its final location. I do not want to imagine getting this beast anywhere higher than ground level. The unit is moveable because it can be folded up which makes lifting and carrying it harder.
I assembled the unit with my wife in about 2hrs (I think it can be done faster with some training). Some of the bolts were too short and I got replacements. After we got done we had a an extra pair of side bars left over. They were apparently in the package as a bonus? Unfortunately they are not cushioned.
After turning on the machine the Android started and I got connected to the internet. I started walking on the treadmill. Then I updated the software. At least I tried to, but the connection got interrupted several times. I called IFit and they had me reboot the unit a few times. Finally the update went through.
Next I walked on the treadmill again to test the functionality. I tried to raise the incline and it would not work. I tried the calibration and it faulted. Next I noticed that the entire panel, all push buttons etc. would not work anymore. The touch screen was still working. I remembered that the buttons were working prior to the software update.
Since it was late at night I called it a day. The next day I called customer service. It took me about ten minutes to talk to a technician. He could not help since I did not have the serial number available. I called them back later and I waited about 20minutes to talk to a tech. That person decided within 5 minutes that the entire display panel was broken. They asked me whether I could replace it myself or if a technician should come out to fix it. I asked for a technician. The new panel arrived within a week. After the part arrived I decided I could exchange the panel myself. I took about 30 minutes.
After the exchange everything works as described. I have a great treadmill at a great price.
However, I have not attempted the software update. I will call Proform to verify that it is safe to do.
