I’ve been searching for a review of this treadmill by a user. I only found those from the manufacturer. I am glad you finally came out with it. Thank you. I am waiting for your future in-depth review of the treadmill. Thanks again, hope it serves you well.
No problem! Just to update so far I have ran 24KM @ 12KPH, 28KM @ 11.6KPH, 7KM @ 13.8KPH and other runs of more than 10KM at one time on other days. This thing is still holding up, nothing seems off or there isn't any hiccups (like sudden surge in speed or creaking sounds). I would recommend you to buy it if you are looking for a good treadmill. Even if it breaks down on me after 2 years when the warranty is over and I have to pay for repairs, I'd be happy to...
Great review! You sir have covered all important treadmill related information. And if the treadmill can withstand your running sessions, then it's really good. Thank you
Thanks for review. I purchased one. Major functions are great but some notes to one care: 1) Speaker sound is bad, wasted 2) Remote control change speed, incline for every 1 unit, 0.5 would be nice. 3) Fan direction is quite high to your face, not so comfort 4) Armrest is quite flex 5) No standby mode (need to turn on/off every time) 6) Rack is small, almost cannot put any thing there even a small bottle 7) Base is weak (two one in the middle), need to change to another 3rd party one.
Thanks for the input! I do agree with all your points but for what I paid for at the time which was 3200 Malaysian Ringgit or less than 800USD. This was considered a good buy. As of now, they've increased the price and also it is much costlier in other countries so this may not be the best buy in my opinion...
@@brandonwong1978 may I have your help to check this treadmill with Kinomap. Fan speed is only max, cannot reduce. It does not happen when treadmil work sololy or work with Decathlon econnected. Btw: do you use any app like Kinomap, Zwift, etc.
I noticed that you are doing one bad thing to your treadmill motor. do not step on the belt when your treadmill motor starts. When the speed reaches 2km/h, it is safe. Keep doin' what you doin' and enjoy your training!
@JoshuaRex if you are in the uk. I think for what it is worth now at retail price. You might as well get another treadmill. The support from Decathlon here in Malaysia is also pretty bad. My treadmill broke down once due to the motherboard, and it took them very long to get spare parts. They couldn't even tell me the exact date of when it will be available, I got frustrated and contacted a 3rd party treadmill repair specialist instead.
Hello brandon... Tq for your good review... I had purchased 1 unit recently... The motor noise absolutely outstanding... However, i noticed a little squeaking sound from underneath when I run.. But what's really mean was electricity leaked on each of bolts of unit even after I shut off the treadmill.. Would you encounter this situatuon... Tq in advance
I finally have this problem. There is this squeaking problem I have and I found out the reason, some screws came out but I can't fix it because the screw holes can't fit the original screws anymore. Contact me on facebook just look up my email through brandonwcm@hotmail.com
@@brandonwong1978 tq for ur reply... Finally i managed to settle the problem... The caused from static electricity was came from the motor that intolerance with the tile on floor.. Thus i need to cover the floor with carpet instead... Squeaking sound from underneath was mainly resulted from bolts that keep engaging with body parts.. Thus, I had lubricated each of every parts engaged by opening the cover underneath as well the absorber... Finally, it settled..
Yeah it still is. I am still pounding some hard runs on it. I occasionally run up to 20km or more on it at speeds of 12kph or faster during rainy days and do hard intervals of 1.2km x 7 at 16kph. Still no problem… lubricated it twice or so by myself
Hi the running deck seems pretty elevated. Just wanted to check how high is it off the ground? Like if I run, how much higher off the ground would I be compared to just standing off the ground. Thinking of getting this but am a little afraid I might hit the ceiling fan...
Great review. I am also looking into this model, since it ticks all the boxes, but I guess I have the same concerns with the motor as you do. That is why I would like to ask you for your opinion since you have a lot of experience with treadmills, and I do not. I don’t intend to run as much as you do, (more like half an hour a day) but I have more weight (92kg / 202pounds). So I am wondering would you still recommend this for me or should I buy something with more hp?
They say as a general rule of thumb, you should add 0.5hp to the motor for anyone over 200 pounds. Walking: 2.0hp Joggers: 2.5hp Running: 3.0hp gymcrafter.com/treadmill-motor-size-guide/ I would recommend you get a 2.5hp or 3.0hp treadmill but honestly this treadmill for some reason is taking so much of running I am throwing at it. I think if you were to buy this treadmill and run at your current weight, you can probably get away with it. Besides, you have warranty to rely on and for the asking price, if it breaks down after the warranty is over, I think paying for repairs should be inexpensive for this model as treadmill will need servicing from time to time. That is just my opinion...
I mean it will generate quite some noise… even walking at that pace would generate noise no matter what surface you are on to be honest. Just use your own discretion and try not to put your treadmill near your family’s room… that is just my opinion. Just having the machine run would generate noise…
@@LucasRey1972 It depends on the flooring material. I was in Canada and their floors were so hollow that I had to tiptoe or walk slowly to avoid getting complaints from my landlord who live directly below. But if you have a house like mine in Malaysia and you have a hard cemented flooring just below the treadmill then that is fine. 6 to 6.5kph shouldn't make much sound as long as you close the door. I have a treadmill in the gym room located next to my room and I can't really hear anything when my mum brisk walks on it. It is only when I really ramp up to 15kph or so that my mum starts hearing it from the stairs area... so I would say you should be good at 6 or 6.5kph
@@brandonwong1978 thank you for you kindly responses, currently I have 2 soundproof carpets under my R1-pro treadmill and I'm should be fine, at least no one complained about noise :) Today I'll check directly on dechatholon shop hoping I can try it!

@@brandonwong1978 I wanted to ask you one more thing, does this treadmill have the ability to schedule a HIIT workout?
