How much weight will this treadmill take? In other words, how heavy can the heaviest user be?

I am about 160 lbs and I typically walk for about 4 to 5 hours a day. I haven't had any issues and the treadmill feels very sturdy. According to their website the max weight is 300 lbs. http://www.lifespanfitness.com/tr800-dt3-under-desk-treadmill

Up to 300 lbs according to the specs. The heaviest person who used ours was 230 with no problems.

I am 175 and use it from two to three hours a day. I have had no issues to date.

I was at 300lbs when I started using it about a year ago, and I use it for several hours daily (started at about 2, but now up to 6 hours some days) and have no problems with it.

yes. for god's sakes hold on. We lost grandmother when she torqued up the treadmill to 6 miles an hour. off the back she went flying through the wall board, between the wall studs and splatted against the brick siding. I was on the treadmill at 4 miles an hour Thursday and it recorded all steps effortlessly. Sara used the elliptical with success also. I have to see about biking, I used the recumbent and it did not register.

I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However... It is very compact and I'm sure will feel more wobbly than a large gym quality machine. My husband is over 200 pound and he has tested it...but not really used it. He says it is worthless for him because it is not difficult and you cant get a wide range of motion. For me it works and I've lost 30 pounds watching calories and using this for 20 minutes to an hour several times a week. It feels like running in place but easier on my joints. The handle bar helps you get your balance...but is not really sturdy. The base does not wobble though. I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However...

That would be a question for Livestrong if you need an accurate number. It is heavy but one adult can lift the rear and push it fairly easily because it has rollers on the front cross bar that rests on the floor. If I had to guess, I would say it weighs approximately two hundred pounds. It's a good machine. We have no regrets with this purchase.

Wasn't a problem for me ; ) My 28 year old son did it. In my case I had him not install the arms and then pull the control panel wires out so I could use the treadmill under a desk with the control panel sitting separately. That whole thing took him maybe an hour. He's an engineer. I think it would have been quicker to set it up traditionally. Box is heavy!!

Sorry I failed to say it wasn't hard, just heavy to move the treadmill part haha.

660Lbs. My advice is to save up and buy one for a little more money. Accuracy and sensitivity isn't great. Balancing even on level hardwood floors isn't very good(one leg has to be almost all the way out while the other 3 are scattered at all different levels and ends up unlevel just to keep it solid on the floor).Also buy the time you weigh 200 Lbs or so it's off by 3 Lbs. If I had it to do over I wouldn't purchase it.First one shipped the control didn't work either.They did send one that worked but the rest of it isn't great. Also the tare section(very handy if you are weighing someone in a chair has no memory so you have to re-weigh the chair every time the unit is turned off.Basicly useless function. Hope this helps?

I'm not sure, but it's quite heavy. It took both my husband and brother to get it into the exercise room and they used a piece of the cardboard packing box to slide it on. I'd say it's around 200 lbs. It really is a good exercise machine and works much like a NuStep, but has elliptical motion in the foot paddles. My husband had a bad back, spinal stenosis, and could sit on this machine for quite a long time whereas the treadmill was more painful for him.

Hi, Sonia! It was not difficult, the instructions were fairly good. but, the treadmill part is heavy, so if you can have the delivery people put it where it is supposed to be set up that would help. I did it all myself in about 2 hrs. Just be smart about the heavy part. I laid it on the ground and cut the box away then pulled it out from underneath.

It is a nice treadmill, lots of pros, but the one con I have about it is that it is very heavy. Not as easy to fold and move out of the way as I had hoped.

Not 100% positive, but I'd say 75-80 lbs. A little cumbersome to move around, but a great machine.

Hmm. Can't speak to weight-carrying capacity. We've had two of these on the floor of our shower for a couple of years but the heaviest user is 180. You might send a query to the manufacturer.

Don't know exactly how much does it weight (that info should be in the specs), but I can say that mine is a bit on the heavy camp. Not heavy enough to need to take a breath before lifting it but not light enough to routinely use it while walking between offices, for instance.

I believe its between 250 and 300lbs. I weigh 230lbs Good treadmill with lots of features.

Try to find the manual online or call the company - I know it mentioned recommended top weights in the manual (but mine is filed at my office and I don't have it with me where I am). Keep in mine the weight of any computer, etc, equipment that will also be on top, and how much effort you want to put forth each time you crank it up and down. My top only weighed about 20 pounds, and I wouldn't want it any more difficult to crank (but then again I am a 30 old woman, without arms of steel, so all of that is to be considered!). I want to say the recommended total weight was still in the "hundreds" range.

The owners manual for 9.27 indicates the following: Do not use treadmill if weight over 500 pounds. Do not run on treadmill if weight over 350 pounds.

To use it as intended it takes a good degree of balance. I would probably go with a regular treadmill. The workout is excellent if they are very balanced.
