Simply Perfect
I use my treadmill every day, and it is a reliable and easy to use machine! It has a more than adequate incline and is very solid and appears to be very well constructed.

Review of delivery, not product
As another commenter pointed out, the delivery is very badly handled. The delivery assembly option is not what you would think... there is no coordination between the delivery and assembly as they are done by different parties. So be prepared to receive a huge HEAVY box (almost 300 lbs) that you need to figure out how to get inside your home. Not to mention the poor delivery driver has to figure out how to single-handedly drop the box off for you... which in our case resulted in it being dropped out of the truck and dragged to our sidewalk. Then when contacting customer service to report such mishandled delivery/assembly Walmart took no responsibility as they said it was the result of their 3rd party vendor and we needed to address the issue directly with them. When contacting said 3rd party vendor about the botched delivery and additional coordination required with the assembly team they responded by saying the assembly has nothing to do with them and the issue needs to be taken up with Walmart directly. Bottom line, when it comes to Walmart and their 3rd party services and subsequent service they have nothing on Amazon and their model! As for the product itself, I'm hoping its great... will have to wait to get the assembly separately coordinated... that's after I figure out how to carry the treadmill to our basement!

    Best purchase I could've made!
    First off the ordering and applying for financing was very simple. The shipping was very quick and they gave a heads up before the drop off. Setting it up was very easy and the size is perfect. A lot of in home treadmills are thin and short and can be difficult to run on because of that. This is a gym style treadmill with features to help you reach your goals. I like seeing my fitness score on the machine to see how much better I'm doing. I love the look of this in my garage as well because it is black with the blue trim and white logo it looks really good!

    Best investment I've made.
    I've been on my weight loss and health journey for years. I wanted something consistent I could do daily rain or shine. I compared different treadmills and the T618 checked off everything I needed and wanted. User friendly, high-quality and affordable. The T618 had the incline, speed and programs I needed without a required fitness subscription. Just me at my own pace doing what I love. The best health investment I deserved.

    Easy to put together, even easier to use
    My husband gifted me this treadmill for my birthday. We set it up together, and had it ready to go in about 2 hours. I've been using it almost daily, and I absolutely love it. It speeds up and down quickly, and inclines smoothly. My only gripe with it is that it doesn't fold completely upright. #sweepstakes

    Good treadmill
    Great treadmill for running or walking. My wife uses this to run 3-4 miles daily. I do interval training and can handle the sprint workout. The base is wide with a long band. Only con is the treadmill is very heavy.

    Great Treadmill
    Great treadmill. Only issue I have is when you raise it up, the handles and display stay in the same location. If I need to hold on or check heart rate, you have to bend over. Tough to do when your really getting into it. Specially if others use it, they have same issue. They need to add handle extensions for when it is raised up or have the whole thing raise up with the ramp.

    I would recommend this treadmill as of today.
    Bought to replace my pro form. Very impressed with ease to assemble and quiet run. Pro and Con: it has a very good shock obsorbsion design. So it makes you work a different set than normal outdoor running. Feels a tad like sand or beach running. Great work out, but adjust speeds and incline to compensate. Only downside I found was the weight of it. Very heavy main unit. I am very impressed and if it holds up for a couple years, I will be getting another for my wife. My treadmill workout is 3x a week, minimum 3 miles each run and occasional 2 hour speed walking as I watch a movie.

    So far so great!!
    For the price I feel it is by far the best in its range! Assembly wasn't really hard at all, however the directions could be better

    All that I needed in a home treadmill!
    Been enjoying watching my sports with my wifi headphones and logging miles on my Nautilus T618 almost nightly! Love it's comfortable, quiet deck and simple controls. It's all I need for a runner who needs a home treadmill, a SOLID machine!

    Excellent quality at an affordable price.
    I use the T618 for jogging/running and have found the sturdy quality to be one of this treadmills positives. The T618 is easy to operate and is quieter than my previous Gold's Gym treadmill. My son who is much heavier than I uses the treadmill for brisk walking utilizing the various inclines which he says works very well. I have installed the app Explore The World but have yet to use this as I have TV screens at my treadmill and bike stations which I generally use.

    I would never buy this treadmill again
    We purchased our treadmill and paid to have it installed. The motherboard is bad and the treadmill is very dangerous. The treadmill would turn on by itself, it would also change the running speed while you are using it sometimes speeding up to outrageous speeds. Obviously very dangerous. I tried to post a review previously - but I guess Nautilus doesn't want people to know that things like this can happen.

    Run base Cracked
    The run base cracked. I only weigh 200lbs and it has a max weight capacity of 350. Of the many treadmills I have owned over the years, this is a first for me. It is unsettling to have the base you are running on make a loud crack and sink in the middle of a run.

    I will never buy again
    This machine was terrifying. While on it today (2nd day) I was doing a warm up at 2.5 speed. The track jerked to a stop, then started again at a fast running pace. I kept hitting stop and it didn't turn off. Then it jerked to a halt. I jumped off, and without touching anything the track started racing again, slowing down, then racing. It did this until it crashed the circuit.

    Great value and loads of features
    Great bang for your buck! So many current feature at a bargain price point. So far so good and comfortable to run in. Look and feels sturdy during running and much quieter than my old one.

    Indoor running improved.
    I have been using a Proform treadmill fairly often over the last 12 years and it preformed well for an in home treadmill. I always felt the treadmills in the gym were easier to ran on and made for a smoother work out. I assumed the Nautilus T618 would be more like home equipment but to my delight it feels just like the gym equipment. The noise reduction is the most profound difference in my house. Everyone in the house does not have to hear me run and I can hear my iPad. I do not know if it is a mental thing but I can run longer and faster on the Nautilus than I ever could on the Proform. I am still getting uses to the programed workout and extra gadgets- I did not have those options on the Proform when we got it 12 years ago. I would recommend Nautilus equipment-especially the treadmill- to my friends looking for in home gym equipment because it feels solid and just like the professional equipment. We will consider the other Nautilus equipment when we complete our home gym. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Impressed! Sturdy machine, cushy deck, great home treadmill.
    I find the Nautilus T618 to be very sturdy. I'm by no means a hardcore runner, but it stands up to every workout I put it through while maintaining stability. The deck's Rebound design offers a low impact workout. It's powerful with a 3.5 hp motor yet quiet. It has 26 built-in workouts but you have to enter your minimum and maximum speeds every time you start a workout. It does let you set up 4 user profiles but the profiles don't include saving your workout preferences. They do track your workout data, such as longest workout, calories burned, distance, etc. The Nautilus T618 came with a wireless heart rate chest strap monitor and it also has the hand grip monitor. It has Bluetooth and I connected it to my iPad and used the RunSocial App. My iPad sits very nicely in the upper tray and I can keep it charged using the USB charging port. The built-in cooling fan is a welcome asset. What I don't like about this treadmill is the time it takes for the workout to start. It does this "ramping up" thing and is a bit slow, in my opinion, to get up to my starting speed. All in all, I'm pleased with this treadmill and have been using it daily since I received it.

    Great buy, but pay more for the better shipping options.
    The treadmill purchase was easy and the price was excellent. My issue has to do with the shipping of the treadmill. This treadmill weighs over 235 pounds and comes in one, very large cardboard box. I chose the least expensive shipping option which was to have the unit delivered to the home but not brought inside or set up. The treadmill was delivered by one man, in a large van. One man, to deliver a 235 pound plus package and offload it without damage. When the driver arrived, the box already had several large holes in it and an entire section of box was removed or cut-away so he could have something to grab on to or tie it down, I'm not sure which. The box was damaged, the main electronic console was cracked and heavily damaged. Luckily Nautilus had no problem in shipping correct new replacement parts for what was damaged (which I'm still waiting for). but I have not been able to use the treadmill as it won't function correctly due to the damage. Bottom line, great deal but pay the extra money for the higher shipping and / or assembly options. This thing is big, and VERY heavy. Three or four people are really needed to get this into your home.

    Really solid unit, working great
    Right away we are very happy with this treadmill. It is replacing a 20 year old unit and the difference is amazing. This one gives yo a great workout, and we like the simplicity of the speed and incline features.

    Good treadmill for home use
    This purchase is used in a home gym a minimum of 30 minutes 5 times a week. The set up is not extremely difficult but is much easier with 2 people. The treadmill seems sturdy while running. Things I like: media shelf, hydrolic lift, fan, adequate running surface. The main issue I have had with the treadmill is the belt. It wants to pull to the left side of the floor board. After straightening it back out, it continues to work itself back over to the left side causing it to rub. A couple other things to get used to with this treadmill include having to hit the 'enter' button after selecting a speed, and not having quick speed/incline buttons for all numbers 1-12.
