Not bad at all,
I am a college student, and I am very used to the gym at my school with the electric treadmills . I wanted to try a manual version because having the treadmill at home for the summer would be more convenient then shuffling to and from my campus just to use the gym. I have never used a manual treadmill and was biased to the electric — and thought wrongly about the both of them as well.
Basically, an electric treadmill goes a set speed and your job is to catch up. With a manual treadmill you are powering it, so you control the intensity of the workout.
I usually walk a steady 3-4 miles per hour. On a manual treadmill I could not get a great, heart pounding, sufficient workout setting the speed to 3-4 miles per hour and walking along to the set speed of the belt. Minutes on the manual treadmill, I could definitely feel it. It’s great because it makes you feel like you are actually doing something, but definitely a tough job after a while.
I’d say give it a try. This is a very good quality product and was extremely easy to set up. I don’t regret the purchase.

|Good value if you just plan to use for walking,
My first manual treadmill, and a decent product. Does take some time to get use to. Don’t buy this if you expect to use this for running. Given that the treadmill needs to be at a small incline so your motion pushes the belt down and around, runnning is extremely difficult. Works well if you plan to use for fast walking in your home.
