    Weslo Cadence R 5.2 Treadmill

    • Went to start it up for the first time on the lowest speed setting, the motor was pretty loud.
    • That aside, it seems like a sturdy motor, decent belt system, study build, and look forward to it working for a long period of time.
    • the motor burnt out.
    • The motor on these treadmills isn't that great and the treadmill has trouble supplying steady voltage to it-- what you wind up getting is inconsistent speeds, where you'll experience an occasional surge or
    • However after I plugged it in and turned it on, the motor was really noisy and then it would automatically shut off within about 30 seconds??
    • a the motor had a pease broken off, i disassembled it and but it back in the box i returned it and its been 9 days and still have not gotten my refund back
    • I'm impressed with how smooth it runs and the quiet motor.
    • Upon further inspection, the plastic housing covering the motor was smashed and broken
    • After 6 months the motor started to smell like burning rubber, I contacted Weslo and they stated they only warrantee it for 30 days, but I could purchase a new motor for half the price that the treadmill cost
    • I bought this as a replacement due to good reviews and stronger motor
    • Attempting to push the motor past 5mph is asking for trouble and breaking the motor.
    • The motor is a lot quieter than the old one,
    • Have heard that the motors in these units are noisy, but mine seems smooth and rather quiet.
    • We removed the cover and found the motor was broken - the housing was broken and it was not working at all.
    • Motor is great has real power
    • After another call to the company we were told that they had sent the wrong motor and would send us a replacement for the replacement.
    • My husband took the cover off and the motor is scorching hot
    • However, less than 2 years after buying it, the motor went bad.
    • The belt moves very smoothly, the motor isn't too loud, and the machine is not at all flimsy
    • I believe the motor is simply too weak to support a 175lb runner
