Great little treadmill for the price [AND A GREAT SELLER!]
By D Haney on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022
UPDATE: So we had our treadmill for a little over a year and it had still been doing great until one day we noticed a rip in the belt. I contacted their customer support as we were still within warranty and they were absolutely amazing! It was a simple matter of providing them with a copy of our receipt (a screenshot of the purchase from our Amazon account) and a photo of the issue and within the next day they notified us they were sending out a full replacement! They were responsive, followed up to every email in a timely manner, and did not hassle us about the process like I’ve had some other companies do. They simply stood by their word and honored the warranty. Can’t ask for better than that. Not only is this a good product (it was still functioning well, I feel a rip in the belt could happen to anyone) but an honest, fair, responsive company that you can absolutely feel safe about purchasing from. Can’t say enough good things. Ten stars for these guys. If you’re on the fence, rest assured this company will take care of you if you need them. Wanted to try this thing out a bit before reviewing but it has not disappointed. It was easy to assemble and not too heavy. It folds up and down like a dream (see video). It’s true it’s not the same heavy duty treadmill you’ll find in a gym but we weren’t looking for that. It’s quite small when folded and easy to move around (it has wheels). We thought we’d store it in the garage when not in use but it turns out it’s small enough we’ve been able to leave it in a corner of the living room. I will say that when my husband uses it- who is much larger/more muscular than me and works out harder than I do- you can kind of see where it’s limits would be as far as what it can take. That said, it’s held up nicely for both of us. If you’re planning to practice for a marathon and straight up run on it for hours and hours, it might not have what you need. But for us, who just want something affordable that we can both use at home, with our differing workout levels, that will fit in the house nicely and be easy to maneuver, this is a stellar machine for the price and exactly what we were hoping for. Happy with this purchase and looking forward to using it for quite some time.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!
By Sequoia on Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2024
I purchased this Sept 13th 2022. I used in twice in 2022 and though to myself when do you really have time to work out. I packed it right back up in the box and set it aside for whenever I decided I was going to be 100% committed to a real diet and exercise plan. Now it's 2024. I got rid of all the junk, created a plan, purchased gear and pull the treadmill out knowing this is going to be the year. Started exercising Jan 1st, 2024 60 mins every day. On day 3 I even surprised myself doing 90 mins thinking I was doing it to it. Now it's day 5 and with 10 mins left of my 60 minute treadmill workout the treadmill started to give out and now does not accelerate speed anymore. I'm completely upset! This is ridiculous!!!!! Update: 1/15/2024 I been back and forth with Sarah Dalisay through the customer service email support@serenelifehome.com. I've been asked to submit all my information, provide video and explanations just to be advised that this company will not stand behind their products. I advised, As a consumer, I expect the treadmill I purchased from this company to have a lifespan of 10 years, rather than just lasting for 5 days of use. Despite the treadmill being out of warranty for 2 years, it would still be deemed a manufacturing defect. A treadmill should not malfunction and abruptly stop functioning during a workout. The company explicitly disclaims any responsibility or endorsement for the products being sold or advertised by third-party companies, which is deemed unacceptable. Therefore, providing a refund, credit, or replacement would be an appropriate solution to address the product's lack of integrity. I don't even want any money... I want what I paid for to work or be replaced!!! Who pays Almost $300.00 for a treadmill to only last 5 times of use!!! ....and the response I get is oh well it's company policy. NOBODY.... I MEAN NOBODY BUY A TREADMILL FROM THIS COMPANY THE ARE CROOKS WILL RIP YOU OFF AND TAKE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!!!

Meets All My Small Space Electric Treadmill Checklist
By Vivian Gendernalik - Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2022

Took two times ordering to actually end up with a workable one, as the first one was not fit to be delivered and amazon's set-up delivery service noticed me the item was not deliverable and had sent it back themselves to the manufacturer. So, in that way, paying for delivery/setup had been worth it. But then the home delivery setup service became unavailable immediately that left me debating what to do as 57 pounds is too much for me, particularly when I read several reviewers stating they struggled to put the console on the arms, that the consoles received were sometimes the 'wrong' one. An Amazon rep tried to help by suggesting other compact treadmills, but none of them fulfilled all the things I needed/wanted in a small electric treadmill as this one did. While amazon customer service rep could find ones that had the pneumatic kickstand fold down which I definitely required as being a senior I wasn't going to be risking my back by lowering regularly a treadmill, as having had a few treadmills over the years, I knew just what that weight could mean, and being in a super small space, I can only have a treadmill if I can fold it away each time. However, Amazon could not find me a treadmill with the kickstand fold-down that also came with the important requirement for me of not more than 1.5 hp, which this one beat at 1.0 hp, unbelievably, but true! So such a low 1hp meant I could peacefully walk/jog away and without a single worry any higher usage could plunge me in the dark while on an electric belt as can and have heaters of 1500 watts. So that genuine feature alone was gold. Not only, knowing Pyle products, having had more than one, I knew the quality would sure beat any foreign import, even if it would be imported, so that alone put this above all the chinese contenders that appeared great, but the reviews would show big problems if one had any problems, but Pyle has good customer service, and any problems would get resolved, warranties would be real, etc. In addition, after having read a zillion reviews on the huge drawback of remote-controlled only treadmills, I was convinced I wanted none of those as too many persons reported when the remotes failed to work, so went in the garbage their money spent on the treadmills. I had no desire to pay a few hundred dollars for an awkward 57lb paper weight to big to actually use on paper so it would become this elephant in the closet. So at that point of my search I had definitely x-ed off remote control only treadmills, and only wanted the reliability I had come to experience of wired console controls, and to my surprise this little treadmill came with a console just like a full-sized treadmill, even if the cup spaces weren't exactly practical, but they still could fit slender bottles and disposable cups, not to mention creative do-hickies. And that was another hard one for the diligent amazon rep to locate. So I just took the risk ordering it without professional installation, praying, literally, it would arrive ok and not require a return. I was a little shocked though what did come, as for a device this heavy I expected a solid box, but instead the treadmill came in a cut-up box with the sections held together by ordinary packing tape. I can say this is where the praying part did me good, as despite the box was falling apart because the tape was no longer adhering in many places, not a single piece ended up missing or visibly damaged, so here God gets the credit - I am talking loose open sections, pieces scattered, yet everything ended up somewhere in the box. And maybe it could even have been the treadmill I ordered first, who knows, because that packaging was unreal, maybe even it could have been a return, don't know, but since everything, despite the horrible piecemeal packaging, was there, that was good enough, because when you are dealing with heavy items getting shipped, getting any unharmed and complete is a lottery win. Now having read a lot of reviews of people complaining of getting consoles too big, or if okay, having to get 1 or more persons to help, it led me to do research, which led me to the Pyle's website, pyleusa dot com, and get to see an assembly video there which I saved for when I got mine, and also see an all-important little tip they gave in the answer section, advising to loosen the bottom screws of the arms before trying to put on the console. This tip takes away all the struggles so a senior woman as myself easily was able to put on the console which I could see to some might appear as the wrong size, but instead is the right size, purposefully built wider in order to add tension to stabilize the frame and arms. So loosening the bottom screw on each of the arms so that the arms could wiggle wide, let me easily spread the 2nd arm wide to meet the broader width of the console, and I could only wonder how many returns Pyle had to deal with from customers who thought their consoles were too wide, struggling to pull far enough tight arms made to act like steadying clamps and believing their stiffness was due to the wrong-sized console? So having those instructions in place ahead of time, made it easy for me to put it together alone, handling one piece at a time. This treadmill operates at a sweet 1hp while delivering higher speeds than a majority of the digital under-desk treadmills I was looking at, in truth, because many of those under-desks were touting up to 4mph, but users were reporting poor performance at those 'walking' speed only. But having gotten products from Pyle before and knowing the quality, I was certain when this treadmill claimed actually jogging speeds, that the 7mph was actually true, especially combining that the max weight of 265 lbs was 45lb higher limit than the majority of compact treadmills I had been checking out, which supported the claim of having a practical upper limit of 6MPH. And now after having it for a few weeks, I have found the claims of offering higher speeds to be true. Operating the thing is so like a full-sized treadmill. First you press the start while straddling the metal sides to the running belt; and you get a countdown on the display that then lets you know when you can get on it. Now the more you weigh, the higher start up speed you want to get it after the built-in countdown, before you step on it, or your weight can slow down the belt at the lower speeds, which are truly really lower so that if you are the kind of person not steady, you will be pleased you can start out very slow until you warm up and can put speeds up to normal. As long as you are aware of the limits to a small treadmill as this, you will not be disappointed. If you expect to get the abuse-durability of a $1500 treadmill, you will have reasons to complain, but they won't be based on reasonableness, but expectations too high. I can feel the wood base give sometimes as I walk at lower speeds, but that 'bounce' goes away at smoother higher speed; however, I use that feedback to know the board has limits and if I pound on it too hard, I may break it, all my fault expecting an economic board to operate like one of my former gym-level treadmills. Having just before this a manual compact treadmill (ProGear), I was already acclimated to the compact running belt size, and interestinly enough, although the progear is around 3 inches longer, for some reason, the electric power of the Serene makes it seem longer and wider, and I had zilch problems walking/running on it, though narrow, it is wide enough and long enough, but I am a smaller person in leg length so a 5'10 plus person might not find it long enough. Every time I get on it I am glad I one lacking a remote control as it gives me peace if my neighbors start flipping channels on their TVs that I suddenly won't find my running belt jarred to a halt while I am thrust to the floor, which some persons have complained about the digital ones - not attributing the sudden stops to anyone working a remote in another location, but in fact that is indeed a probable cause why their remote-operated treadmills can be unexpectedly halting at dangerous speeds, another reason why I would reject any remote-operated treadmill as they may be sharing frequencies of nearby users of other remotes! The bluetooth features I also have no interest in, as I am on it to walk or jog, and if I want to be entertained I have it before my computer or I listen to audio, as tiny smartphone / tablet screens are the last things I want to be squinting at as I exercise as reality to me is not played out on the limits of 5-inch x 3-inch screens. To me a treadmill is a substitute when I can't exercise outside, and when I exercise outside it is about movement and not diddling with software apps. And another thing I wish could be changed is the arm lengths, as I wished the parts where the heart rate sensor were could be folded down, out of the way, at will as once I am steady on it, I like to walk/jog without holding on, making use of hand weights or urban poles on either side of the floor. But the arms are permanently out; however, I may yet remove the sensor holders as I get more practiced. In addition, the next con could be fixed if I wanted to struggle, but I don't, is the base of the running belt I found to be off-centered, favoring the right so that at first I thought the pneumatic drop-down was defective, but it turned out that wasn't the issue, the pneumatic was reliable, what was happening is that the running belt bed was catching on the side of the arm it was smack against that I hadn't noticed was off-centered until I sought to solve the issue, if possible. Once I understood that, I loved this 'flaw' as I saw that all I had to do was just pull slightly to side the arm it was against when I was ready, and the running bed gently drops to the floor as advertised, the last few inches, really slow so that I have lots of time to position 2 floor raisers when I want to walk on a level surface, instead of the slight incline it has. And as far as the incline, it is much more user-friendly than the steep incline of my manual ProGear treadmill which was entirely unpractical so I would have to put a couple of heavy boards under to use. So having come from that similar kind of compact treadmill, I have found this Serenity in every way superior, including it to be superior to walk/jog on the electric, as the electric in every way is equal to the features of electric versus manual, as I found the manual too-user intensive, requiring too much effort to let one get into simulated walking videos, and also to be very noisy and requiring hanging on in order to move physically the running belt. The only good thing about the manual, is if the power goes out, but there are so many issues when the power goes out that generally jogging indoors is furthest from the mind. So if you understand the limits, and your needs require such limits - space constraints, power usage, reliability at budget costs - to me this is the top contender with a trusted manufacturer who does not shrink back when things may go wrong, doesn't cut off communications, and offers buyer-friendly methods to purchase, as I, myself, took advantage of installment payments. I also believe if you don't understand the limits, and expect gym-level quality, you will be unhappy, you will find it cheesy, and it is not noiseless, it the standard treadmill sounds, however, using a mat can help reduce that, but I, myself, go matless because the mat would hog space I don't want to give.

I generally do not write reviews but this treadmill/walking pad is perfect for what I needed. Its a perfect size for our small house gym. I opened the box with my son and all it needed was a few screws and very easy to manage. I have used it a few times already and it has Bluetooth if you want to watch or listen to something on your phone. The only negative thing for me is that its missing a cup holder. The area I thought was a cup holder is angled so you cant put an opened cup there, just a closed water bottle and the place you would put your phone is blocking the screen to control your speed etc, otherwise well worth the money.
Compact and sturdy treadmill

I'm really impressed with how easy this treadmill was to assemble. I'm not a tech savvy person but I was able to assemble it within 30 minutes. The treadmill is compact and doesn't take up much space. I love that it folds for storage and has wheels so it can easily be rolled. I found it to be quite sturdy when running. I didn't need to hold onto the bars while running. It is quieter than other treadmills I've used, which is a plus since it doesn't bother my dog. I've been using it daily and seeing it everyday gives me motivation to run. I especially love that I can run in the comfort of my own home, without having to go to the gym. It is winter now and usually cold so I appreciate having this treadmill at home. It has many settings such as incline and Bluetooth. The Bluetooth was super easy to set-up and very convenient. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend this treadmill. It makes working out at home a breeze!

So I like the size and capability of the treadmill. It does fold up and has an easy release. It goes up to 6mph and is pretty quiet. However, it started to stick whenever I went to run on it a few months ago. I’m not a runner, but I like to do intervals so I’ll run at 6mph for a minute and drop back down to a fast walk. I didn’t think anything of it and kept using the treadmill, but now I’m at the point where it’s essentially useless because at 4.2 miles per hour when I step on the belt it barely moves. Naturally it’s out of warranty. I have gone through almost a whole bottle of lubricant and have also been trying to adjust the belt tension and alignment to no avail. I was using it almost daily for 2-3 miles. It’s in my garage on a thin gym mat. I checked the motor and the area around it. The treadmill itself is in great condition but is essentially useless now

Excellent! A bit tricky to put together, but well worth it. We also have a gym-grade treadmill, but due to its size and weight, it has to be in the garage, which is cold in the winter. This treadmill actually allows my wife to use the same settings, but in our third bedroom, which she uses as an office/workout room. Well worth the money! She’s an avid exerciser and uses it every night in addition to her other machines, and she loves it!

I have had this treadmill for almost a month now and I really like it. It was pretty easy to put together and the computer system with it is easy to use. It also has a pulse counter built into the handles. It’s quiet I mean, you know you’re on a treadmill, but it’s not completely silent. The only thing I wish I had done was paid just a little bit more money and gotten the auto incline instead of the manual.Mainly because there is an app that you can use with this treadmill called FitShow. It has programs and training that you can do with the Bluetooth to connect to the treadmill and if you don’t have the auto incline, you won’t be able to incline with the program. I have done several of the free walks with different scenery like redwood forest, the Great Wall of China things like that. You can pay a subscription and get a more detailed programs, but the free ones are pretty nice. There’s also programs already in the treadmill itself. I’m 73 years old and my main objective with this is to keep my bones moving and hopefully be able to lose some weight. If you’re looking for fancy, this is not your treadmill, but if you want reasonably priced that will do a good job I recommend this one.
