OMA Treadmills for Home: Models 5108EB and 1012EB

NW Wayne: In order to fold this product, the handles must be removed and cables disconnected. This is further complicated by the Allen wrench tool provided for the handles as it does not easily engage the socket (pressure must be maintained at a difficult angle). When I viewed the item online, it looked like the handles would rotate for folding, no such luck. To make matters worse, the power switch is located at the bottom of the unit next to the power cable below the right side strut. A very inconvenient location. Actual operation is fair with a smooth drive and low noise.

MW: We just assembled this in our home and I have to say I was really impressed with how well packed the treadmill was. Clearly some thought went into packaging in order for the product to arrive undamaged. It was easy to install and I'm walking on it right now as I type! It's nothing fancy, but it's going to work great for our space and we're excited to have a treadmill we can store easily when needed. I'm going to use it for both walking and running and I feel comfortable doing both on this treadmill.

susyq222: Update 8-28-2022
I recently had to retire due to medical issues. My lifestyle up until that point was very active. I admit that I did not use the treadmill often during that time. But now with no way to stay active, I have been using it on a regular basis just to keep toned. My husband has used it in his rehabilitation from a heart attack. I am very happy to say that never once has it been used as a clothes rack, but the really important thing is is that it purrs like a kitten when you’re walking or running. We have had absolutely no issues, and would highly recommend!

*****

My hubby generally avoids putting things together (I love to) but when they are too heavy for me to handle, he steps in. The only thing somewhat difficult for him was cutting through the box, it was like armor plating. He put it together in 20-30 minutes max. Seriously, he plugged it in, got on it, and away it went. No noise, no wobble. It is a very simple control panel. We both use it, we love it. He's folded it up, and moved it a couple of times. It is actually more than we expected.

julie: I bought this machine for the smaller profile and the bigger weight limit. I have had 2 other treadmills over the last 25 years, both bought new, and both used beyond expectations, neither one was more than 500.00 out the door and they had 4-7 miles put on them daily. I am not sure what a person expects from a treadmill, but I read some of the reviews for the OMA. Some complaints about the symbols wearing off in short time and some saying they didnt think it was fit for a 300 pounder. I weigh 250 and have no problem with stability. The frame is solid. This machine is dependable and easy to use. I dont know how the symbols could wear off unless you are licking them or sanding them with sandpaper. For that matter, both my 10 /12 yr. Old treadmills looked like new when I gave them away and they had tons of miles on them. This is the most I have ever paid for a treadmill and so far, a month later, I believe it was worth the money.

Rachel Y.: This treadmill is exactly what I needed. It's simple and compact. I enjoy using it almost every single day. It's not perfect but I'm so glad I took a chance and made this purchase!

Things I like:
-The length of the walking/running area. I was tempted to purchase a smaller version of this treadmill. I'm only 5ft 1in so I figured I didn't need a lot of running space. But I'm SO glad I went with the regular size. It's very comfortable to walk or run without feeling cramped.
-The noise level. This machine is not "quiet" per se, but it's not obnoxious either. My kids can hear when I use it but the noise doesn't bother them.
-It's compact. My original plan was to slide this treadmill under my bed. Which I could have done if I had a different kind of bedframe. That's my fault for not double checking the measurements. You need at least 10 inches of clearance under your bed to store it that way (if you fold it completely flat).
-Easy to assemble and Fold. Instructions right out of the box were simple and straightforward. I've been using this treadmill nearly every day and it only takes about 60 seconds to set up and begin using it.

Things I dislike:
-Heavier...
