I would have to say I researched buying a treadmill for some time and came upon this one for many reasons. 1. it was in my price range. I also saved $87 dollars on the shipping. As for shipment , it came fast and was in mint condition. Setup, was easy. This machine is a sturdy piece of equipment. Doesn’t feel cheap. I will say I wish it would fold up more vertical but with all the features it is more than satisfactory. If your looking for something durable and effective for your exercise needs this will surely be the purchase.

I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 10 years and have always been leary about buying a “cheap” home machine. This treadmill works great for home use. I was thoroughly impressed. I’m 230lbs and I can run on it with no problems! Great machine for the money!

I’m really happy with this treadmill. I can’t tell the difference between this one and much more expensive models. It has preset routines, automated incline, pulse monitor, a cup holder. It’s sturdy to walk on and absorbs impact for a cushy run. Runs smoothly and quietly. And has a lifetime warranty. And free shipping!

We had a horrible experience with this treadmill. It arrived non functioning. Customer support takes forever to contact and most of the time offers an option to leave a number for a call back that never once came. After two visits from a tech and two seperate parts deliveres, the treadmill still didn’t work. Merrit/Horizon/Johnson Health evidently told the tech they would replace it, but did not make any attempt to contact me. I called again and after being on hold for 30 minutes, was forced to leave my number and a message. Still no call back. I would not buy anything from this company, Horizon or Johnson Fitness ever again.
On the positive side, one quick call to Amazon got me a full refund and free pickup of this large, useless item. Amazon.com really stepped up and took care of the situation in one call. They’re paying to pick it up and I don’t even have to take it apart and put it in the box. Fantastic service from Amazon.

Some bolts hard to install. No reference to have to find the on/of switch to start it up. It’s near the right front at floor level. Not a convenient location. Hard to lubricate base for tread belt, not much room. After setup and getting it started my wife is very happy with it. She really likes the slow start up and slow down feature, instead of jumping on it at full speed. So far a good value for the price. The heart rate monitor is a little uneven, but it’s not that important to her. Have only tried two exercise modes which did both work.

I did a lot of online research before purchasing this bike. I was looking for a bike that was built well, quiet, decent electronics, and good value. This Schwinn 140 is exactly what I was looking for. Shipping was very quick for this item. Amazon told me it shipped on a Friday, and it arrived at my house the following Tuesday.
Unpacking the box was relatively easy. It looked like a lot of parts at first, but there weren’t that many steps required to put this bike together. I was able to assemble this bike in about an hour, by myself. The instructions were clear, although installing the handle bars was a little tricky.
Once the bike was assembled I spent about 15 minutes making adjustments for my riding height and style. This bike has many adjustments, so take your time getting it right. I’ll probably make more adjustments after my first full week of workouts.
I really like the electronics. The display looks high-end. It’s bright, easy to read, the colors are nice. I had one issue when I first powered up the bike, after 2 minutes I got an “E3″ error. But after resetting the display, it was fine, and I haven’t seen it since. Hopefully that’s not a portent of things to come. But so far so good.
I’m 6′, and weigh 240 pounds (that’s why I bought an exercise bike). This bike feels very sturdy for my size and weight. No loose parts, or creaking noises. At least not yet.
I will be posting pictures to Amazon shortly.

Had it almost two weeks. Goes together in about an hour and fits in an incredibly small space. Seems very well constructed, no loose parts. Takes awhile to adjust everything as everything is adjustable. Seat is very comfortable, I purchased a different seat when I ordered the bike, but decided to use the seat that came with it. Makes absolutely no noise at all when you’re riding it. Shifting between levels is smooth and quiet, and the pedaling is very smooth and consistent all the way around. Heartbeat monitor on the handles work great, but trying to get my Polar band to talk to it has been a challenge as there is no documentation on how it connects. Seems like if you start riding first, then activate the band, it works, but still trying to figure this out. The interface on the computer takes some getting used to. The documentation for the computer could be a little better, but overall, I am extremely happy with this bike. Great value for the money!

After doing much research on upright excercise bikes, I selected the Schwinn 140. I ordered the unit from Amazon on Sunday and received it on Wednesday. The box is good sized and quite heavy so I waited for the weekend to move to the basement and assemble. The assembly process took about 1.5 hours. The instructions were simple (tools included) all parts went together very well. I had a little challenge installing the handlebars (due to computer cable), but after a couple of tries, everything fell into place an sligned properly. The computer unit has a number of pre-programmed profiles, but I created my own, and this was a very easy and simple process. The instruction manual could be better, but most operation is intuitive anyway, so not that important. The bike is very quiet and smooth, allowing the user to change profiles on the fly. The unit is also allows for easy adjustment for just about every aspect of the bike, allowing different users a proper fit. Overall, very pleased with value received and of prompt delivery by Amazon.

This bike is very quiet and has several adjustments for riding position. Unfortunately I’m 6’2″ and my knees hit the handle bars when I ride.

I purchased this bike to continue with my physical therapy after hip replacement surgery. It was delivered quickly–less than a week. My husband assembled it for me in about 35 minutes. The bike is just about silent when it is in use, and I love the LED readout that helps you keep track of the time, speed, RPM’s, distance and calories burned. It’s stable but not too heavy to have to move from place to place. I started at about 5 minutes a day and I am up to 15 minutes. My hip is doing great and another benefit is that I have started to lose inches as well! I would recommend this bike to others.
