I have one.. that sucker gives me a workout.  I can spend hours on an eliptical, but about 30 minutes on my treadclimber and I am sweating and wanting off!  It does give you a pretty good workout.  I love mine..

Best investment ever.  But just like anything else, you get out of it what you put in it.  I have the older model tc5000 and it still whoops my behind.  I can get 65 minutes on it but not every day a week

Lol.  I would probably die by min 50 on mine.. Mine is an older model as well, but it still works way to fine!  but it is one of my best of many investments in exercise stuff!!

 Do you have the one you plug in or the motorless one?  Have been thinking about getting one (used).

They seem to have a lot of bad reviews on how they hold up, any of you had problems with yours? I have been wanting one for years.

 I bought mine used in 2009 and have used the hell out of it ever since, no problems at all.

I have an older model. It still works great.....when I use it. I will say the arms hold laundry really well.

I have had mine since 2007 and no issues.. I did scare myself once when I moved it to a new room.. Got it there-plugged it in.. No work. No movement.  Freaked out- cause well I love it.  I called the number- told them what happened/moving it etc. And what happened next is one of those things where you feel really stupid and say I am sorry to have bothered you.  Apparently, while I was moving it- I had hit the off switch in the back of it down at the bottom and apparently they don't  have any power when you do that.  Problem solved.. But I love mine;

We have a weight bench (perfect for drying sweaters) and abcircle pro (place folded blankets and comforters on it until finally get around to putting them up) that are multi-purpose as well! My son wants a treadmill, but this is the exact reason I haven't given in yet! Now if it would actually DO the laundry, that would be different!

Oh you have no idea!!!  I seriously did the EXACT same thing....only I didn't think to call them.  I just tried to dismantle it to "fix" it when I saw this button on the back......

Thanks.. for making be feel better...lol, it was a very scary minute there for me. My stomach seriously dropped when it wouldn't power up.  I thought  oh no. I probably would have torn it apart, but I didn't even know where to start.  I am just glad all ended well.  But I did feel like one of those stupid computer people where the tech probably thinks... "you're to dumb to have a computer".   At least you don't have the memory of that... but I guess it's a good laugh.  When I moved it again a few months ago, I just got to laughing about it- and it even powered up this time.  I have to admit I was relieved when it did.  It is a great piece of equipment.
