ProForm Treadmill, 510i —
I bought this Proform Plus 520I treadmill 2 years ago in March of 2007. I had done lots of research and spent several months checking prices until the price dropped considerably in March of 07. I was a moderate user - 1 or twice a week until early this summer when I began using it more often. It had worked o.k. up until 3 weeks ago. When I got on the treadmill none of the buttons worked except the incline and 6 mph. I read through the manual that came with the treadmill and did the troubleshooting actions - opening the hood to make sure the magnet was aligned correctly). This did not fix the problem. I called Sears and made an appointment for a repairman to come take a look at it. It cost $96 for a sears repairman to come look at it. After opening the front and checking magnet alignment (which I had already done) - he said it was a faulty console. He looked up how much it would cost to replace - $400 parts and labor -- ridiculous! Sears is WAY overpriced in their service charges and I am terribly disappointed this treadmill only lasted 27 months. What a waste of a couple hundred dollars.
