For occasional jogging (nor marathon training) or power/incline walking... will it die on me within 6 months? Anyone care to give me the cold hard truth about Sunny treadmills from Amazon?

| Nobody's given in and bought one from this pervasive brand on Amazon?? |

| I bought a treadmill and used it a handful of times. Biggest waste of money. |

Was it a waste because it was terrible equipment, or because you didn't use it? |

I would not cheap out on a treadmill. Buy from a reputable brand not a drop shipper. You can easily get a concussion or lose teeth if it malfunctions. |

| We bought a cheap exercise bike from Amazon and it hardly got used because it was uncomfortable and unreliable. Then we joined a gym and go all the time—the equipment is just so much better. |

| I have friends who had Sunny bikes and then bought the Peloton bike and it was night and day for them. I'd imagine their treadmills aren't that much better. Go with a more reputable brand--Sole, Horizon even Norditrac have some reasonably priced treads. |

| We bought a sunny treadmill directly from their website. Have had it three years and find that it does what it should. I don't go crazy on it. I'm not a fast runner. But it has held up well and doesn't take up a lot of space because it can fold. |

| I got a cheap folding one- UREVO is the brand - on Amazon. I use it for a walking desk while I am teleworking. I go through spurts and breaks, but it has gotten a ton of use over the couple of years I've had it. I would not feel comfortable running on it - the belt is too narrow, there's zero cushioning, and it feels too rickety. |

| You could buy a nice quality treadmill secondhand for much less. People buy them with good intentions, then don't use them after all and put them up for sale. |

Yeah, but moving a treadmill can cost as much as buying one new. It's like a piano! |

YMMV. We just used our minivan. Heavy, but it was fine with 3 adults helping. I don't think it's quite like a piano. |

| I have been happy with my Sunny bike for the price - almost 7 years of frequent use! For treadmills though, you can get such good ones for relatively cheap and they will have a warranty. Look at Sole |

We have a Sunny treadmill that we bought off Facebook Marketplace for very cheap. It's okay and has held up so far with walking during cold weather.
We had a Sole before we moved and it was much better, although it cost more than $1000. |
