We purchased the Pro Form 1450 treadmill a few weeks ago. It appears to be a well-built treadmill with decent exercise programs installed, based on our exercising so far.
One note of caution: Pro Form says that the treadmill includes a “Built-In Browser Powered by Android”. This is correct, but the Android system is crippled so that basically you can only use the Browser. You cannot download apps from Android Market. This was confirmed by an e-mail to Pro Form, where they responded with, “Unfortunately the operating system is just designed to use the treadmills featured programs. Applications can’t be downloaded.”
Also, if you are used to an iPad or smartphone, you’ll find the touchscreen to be a bit frustrating.
