I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the Bowflex equipment we purchased. It was good while it lasted, unfortunately, after less than two years of ownership, and with only a dozen uses, the console has become unresponsive and is stuck on the Android logo.

I contacted Flamon service for assistance, and they recommended reaching out to Bowflex customer service. However, I was informed that there is nothing they could do to rectify the situation and that the console would need to be replaced. Given that the console functions similarly to an Android tablet, the replacement cost is quoted at $900 USD, while Flamon has quoted $1,600 CAD.

Additionally, upon conducting further research, I discovered that this issue appears to be quite common among other users. If you buy this treadmill, you are gambling with getting a machine that will not work and is not cost effective to repair. A repair you can do very easily on your own.

I’ve owned this treadmill for 8 months and it’s worked for less than 8 weeks. The warranty replacement unit worked for 4 days. The console is truly clunky, but the reliability is terrible. Nautilus (Bowflex) customer service must be the worst-in-class!

In reply to Kristin Lummus.

Kristin,

The console isn’t quite as easy to use as comparable models and the touchscreen is just a bit small. It’s not too bad – it’s the size of a standard iPad, but it’s not quite as easy to see and navigate as a larger screen. Otherwise, the design is fine and the buttons are easy to reach.

Hi,
What do you mean the console is clunky? I am interested in this treadmill because of all the tech capabilities, but now I am concerned about the “clunky” console. Thanks!
