The Reebok I-Run treadmill is designed for a very specific user, namely the keep fit user with limited space who wants to add a cardio workout to their home routine.
If this is you then the I-Run will do everything you want it to do, if not then we suggest you to consider another machine such as the Proform 3.6 which will do much more for about the same price.
For the job it's designed for the i-run does very well, that is, it folds up to a neat compact size for easy storage - it will even fit under most beds! It's easy to use and very, very portable due to its size and light frame.
For the style conscious it's available in 5 colours - blue, white, pink, black or white with an orange spot (we kid you not!).
This is one of the few treadmills we've come across that requires no assembly - you just get it out of the box, plug it in and you're off. Although it's not exactly bursting with extras it does have some good features such as heart rate monitoring via hand grips, 6 pre-set programs and two incline levels (manual setting) which due to some recent price reductions are starting to make it look better value for money.
The two year parts and labour on-site warranty is about par for a machine of this price.
Available in UK from £325 from Fitness Superstore

Pros and Cons Reviewers Ratings
In brief:
The Reebok I-Run treadmill is a very well designed machine to do the job in hand, that is, to give you a workout in the comfort of your home to help lose weight and get fit, and then to fold up and slide under the bed when not. If you're into keep fit and want to add a walking/jogging workout then it will do the trick. Otherwise look at other machines because you'll get much more for a little extra outlay - see our Treadmill Comparison Table
