Schwinn 860 Treadmill Review
You can trust my review, bad or good is your choice and i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
OK, I couldn't wait to see this machine go on sale a little over two months ago. I hesitated a couple of hours and the price went up almost $1000, but fearing it would go up some more towards its listed price I drew from the hip and bam! now it is mine.
The thing is as heavy as advertised and hard to manoevre into place if you have no one to help you. That's OK because you do not want it to bounce about as you run on it. Setting it up took a little under 30 minutes. Comprehending the manual has taken over 2 months but fortunately it is almost completely unnecessary unless you want to change display to metric.
The motor seems to be OK and the mat is nice and non-slip. The frame seems to be sturdy enough for most people that would only get on a treadmill in a very bad dream.
The big disappointment is in the console and its contents. I remember as a kid some 50+ years ago, that I heard it said, (but now know better), that a dinosaur's brain was as small as a walnut and that if you cut off the tip of its tail the beast would not feel it until 2 minutes later. It seems that the console designer modeled his contribution off that pea-brain of legend.
The console is as big as a dinosaurs skull but seems to be empty of useful functions. On each side there is a row of buttons numbered 2,4,6 and 8. The left side is for controlling incline and the right side is for controlling speed. The only time these buttons work is when you are in the custom program mode and want to enter a speed or incline without having to increase by increments of 0.1 mph or 1 degree. The custom progrom will only accept programmed incline OR speed, not both. You would think that if you are plodding along at 3 mph and want to suddenly increase to 8 you could simply press the top button on the right and bingo, your speed would pick up to 8 mph. No such luck, you have to press the speed up arrow 50 times or hold it down for several seconds until it shows the desired speed. Likewise to slow the thing down; nothing happens with a single button press.
Why in thunder is the control for incline on the left and the display for the current incline on the right side of the console and vice versa for the speed? Confusing when you are tired.
The calorie counts are not reliable. I had noticed about a month ago that I could not anticipate the number of calories I would burn in an exercise course. I recently did a 24 minute course alternating between 4 and 7 mph then 24 minutes alternating between 4.5 and 7.5 mph at 2 degree incline. To my surprise the first course registered 410 calories burned and the second more strenuous course registered 303. I repeated the more stenuous course 24 hours later and it registered 442 calories closer to what I expected but my confidence is low.
The wireless heart rate monitor is a strange little gizmo sort of like a very small training bra. It seems to work if you stand still on the stationary treadmill but as soon as the machine starts to move, it seems to hear a different rhythm from the one in my chest or feel in my neck. The rate jumps from low 50's to 180+ when I am walking a warm-up lap. When I am jogging at about 7 mph it stays around 145 to 165 but will also drop to 77. It makes no difference whether I have all electrical items (a hint from the manual) such as telephone, computer, Ipod,... you name it, within 30 yards turned on or off. The hand grip monitor likewise, is totally unreliable whether you rest your hands ligtly or hold on with a grip of death. This is a feature that I cannot recommend to anyone -- In my opinion, it is potentially dangerous to place any confidence in it.
There is a feature that will store the number of calories and distance traveled. This is only functional if you are in the midst of a course and have to stop to tie your shoe or make a dash to the bathroom. It will remember the data until you get back on provided you do so within a reasonable time, about 2 minutes, maybe not enough time if you have BPH -- good for next to nothing. A feature storing an accumulated time and distance and calorie count would be much more useful. Accumulated time would at least be useful for letting you know when to lube the belt.
Since using the thing for the past 2 1/2 months about 5 out of 7 days, I have managed to lose some 16 pound so at least that function works. For my money though, I wish I had spent about another $300 to $400 for a machine that seems to have been put together with a little planning and not just cobbled together in an afternoon high school design class.
