Comments: I just finished putting my Proform 680 LT treadmill together this evening. This treadmill is of excellent quality. All of the materials are quite solid; more solid than the treadmill at my employer's well-equipped gym. Though the directions clearly stated it required two people to put together, one man can put this together if you follow the instructions carefully. It's definitely a workout putting it together, but the results speak for themselves. I put it together alone in three hours time. It does weigh 200 lbs in total and therefore I recommend moving it to the installation site and then putting it together, not vice versa. I tested the treadmill for a little while tonight after putting it together. It worked flawlessly from the first moment. The sound system is excellent. The onboard fan has three settings. This will prove useful in the summer! I didnt' even realize it had a workout fan until I finished putting it together and my wife pointed it out. The motor was unexpectedly quiet compared to the treadmill I had before. In fact, once the motor was finished raising itself to an incline during a workout, I thought something was wrong because it was so quiet. That made it a lot easier to hear my music.The controls are easy to see and utilize. The data card works great and I do intend to buy some more cards for additional workouts. However, there are 16 preset workouts and you don't necessarily need the data card unless you want a specific workout.I am so impressed by this treadmill. It comes with a 25 year warranty. That pretty much means it's built to LAST. Everything about the construction made me feel that it will indeed last that long. Totally solid!The cushioning on this treadmill was much easier on my knees. I don't have knee problems, but if I did I would rather be on this machine than some others I've used in the past.I see the going price as being reasonable. In fact, I'd say it's MORE than reasonable considering the 25 year warranty. I'll be 56 yea
