Nordic Track and Icon have been making sub-par treadmills for years under brands such as Reebok(not CCS), WE SLOW,(sorry, I guess it is Weslow, Proform, Image, Healthrider, Sears, etc,etc. If you use it, it WILL break. Often before the 90 days warranty is up.
However, if you don't use it, you won't know the difference between a $3,000 treadmill and the cheaply contstructed Icon products.
My experience is you will bury 3 Icon treads in the landfill before you put a dent in the life of a high end tread. And when you go to fix the quality product it isn't half again what you paid for it to be repaired.
People are filling landfills with these things because they won't pay the repair price; they simply go and buy another one(Don't they get it?!!)
Anyway, sorry to those who made the big mistake of buying the "junk" from Icon.
