BOTORRO Folding Treadmill: Compact, Portable Exerciser for Walking and Running

Amazon Customer: I wanted a treadmill that I would not have to assemble. I rent so being able to pack it quickly and move it is around is important for me. One of the airlock was loose but the customer service sent me two pieces promptly, even though I needed only one. The speed is more than enough for me as it can go up to 8 miles per hour. It is heavy, something around 55 KG but it has wheels at the front, so moving it around in the room is relatively easy. So far I am satisfied with the product and specially the customer service :).

Note, if you are above 6 feet it will be hard to run at the top speed of 8 miles per hour on this machine but will be able to run at a lower speed like 6 miles per hour.

KAHAN MARTINE: Satisfaisant pour la marche. Regrettable d'avoir livré en France un appareil avec un cordon électrique inadapté, destiné à UK ou Canada.

Noel: Had a lot of potential but it was DOA so had to return. Fixing it was a no go since that will take days or weeks. Note the r7 is not foldable while in use. You need to looses 4 screws everytime u want to fold it

Lisa: Manca di programmi e i tasti potevano essere digitali… ma la pedana é dignitosa e ci può correre anche mio marito che é quasi 1,90! Abbastanza silenzioso

Kristafor Victor: I like how easy it is to setup and use but I wish it came with a cover. Also that they gave you more oil for it. Already lost that little bottle lol. But it works well.

Sarah Goldrup: I’ve had this treadmill for a couple of weeks. I have used it a few times weekly.
The machine comes assembled, but please know that it is very heavy and can be hard to move alone. Especially when it first arrives in the box.
The machine is fairly quiet, but screen readings for steps are way off. It will increase by hundreds of steps per second. I just use something else to track my steps and distance.
I could also do without the unprotected Bluetooth speakers because someone in my apartment building keeps connecting to it. I just keep it disconnected from power when not in use.
Overall, the machine is fine. It feels pretty solid and does a good enough job. However, it is a little bit frustrating to have chosen this machine when there are cheaper folding treadmills on this site and to still have these flaws.

Kim V.Kim V.: After lots of research for different folding treadmills, I settled on this one because of how simple it is to operate. I wasn't interested in having a treadmill with dozens of program options, just a basic one that would also be sturdy and have no issues from the get go. Going through the reviews helped see this one has not had many, if any, bad reviews for malfunctions or issues so it would be worth the money. Taking it out of the box and setting it up was super easy, no extra steps needed. The speakers sound great though there isn't much bass. Day 1 running was smooth and no issues encountered. Bluetooth connected right away to my phone. I highly recommend purchasing a mat (recommended by amazon) because I noticed a difference with/without it when running. It helps lower the vibrations. It has a spacious ipad/phone holder so it's convenient to watch a workout program or show. The program buttons are basic and is my favorite part. Instead of having to click the speed button repeatedly you can just click on one of the speed buttons to increase/decrease. You can also control the music settings with the buttons so no need to keep messing with the phone while running. Overall I'm...

JamesJames: After not loving the bulk of our big (and expensive) Life Fitness treadmill, we started shopping for a more compact folding treadmill, but did not want to sacrifice any quality. I did a ton of researched and liked what I saw in the Botorro R5 and pulled the trigger...and I’m glad I did! It is everything I was looking for and everything that I hoped it would be.

First off, the build quality is top notch and all parts and components feel very high quality. The overall size when folded is exactly what we needed to be able to be able to tuck it away when we need more space. Folding and setting it back up is super quick and easy. There is very little shaking, if any, while running and it is very quiet.

All of the buttons are easy to use and I can go from 0-9mph quickly, as I like to alternate from walking and running. I really love using the built in Bluetooth speakers and I can easily change music right from the treadmill. The shock absorbers are also great and easy on my knees, which also helps keep the noise level down while running.

The overall weight is light enough for me to be able to roll it away, yet heavy enough to be very stable and planted. The...

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: 1st treadmill we purchased for the raining season. The product is ready to use and fully assembled when it gets delivered. Highly recommend you take a look the user manual especially how to move it around, fold and unfold before use.

Here are some pros & cons after spending couple of weeks on it.

Pros:
- Firstly, it is very easy to use with a few pre-defined programs for your jagging.
- The handrail is adjustable and you can adjust it to a comfortable position. It is very convenient especially for kids to use.
- It is super quite during operation which is a big plus.
- There is a ledge for an iPad or Kindle that we wish to read while walking. And you can connect your iPad or Phone to the treadmill. There is a bluetooth speaker in it.

Cons:
- Note that the highest position of handrail is around 40 inches from the ground, it would be great if it is able to adjuste a bit more.
- The price is a little high compared with other comparative products.

Since we usually play music while jogging, the bluetooth speaker is like dream come true. If you also love enjoying music while jogging, this is the right treadmill for you. Given that the...
