On another note, they also had a HUGE wooden swingset for $1199 on clearance. That was previously over $2000. Didn't get the model number or anything on it but it's the only swingset they've ever had. It has a big green slide, a enclosed fort on the top, etc...

I've had the TV treadmill for about 1 year. No problems with it, a great value.

The swingset has been $1199 since they put it outin the spring. I want to get it and I check the price every time. A good deal at $1199, but I'm waiting for the clearance price drop.

On the tv embedded treadmill...what inputs can you put into the TV? RCA? Coax cable? Does it have a tuner or not?

I will check it out near me tomm. Sounds like a good deal. My old treadmill conked out.

Saw the Healthrider today for $400.00 at Sams. Is this thing any good. My old treadmill is broken and was not reliable (I bought a used Trotter-very old though) I want to use this for running and walking. will it hold up for running? I heard that these home units have a weak motor which are not very durable. This is the only thing I would consider the Sams extended warranty as I know there is a great chance it will break at some point. Appreciate the help. I live in South fla and it is hot as hell here!

 

Sams also shows the treadmil on their auction site

The treadmill has 1 spot for a coaxial cable and it does have a tuner... you can plug your cable wire directly in or you can hook up a dvd player...

The warranty is not the best ... If you can get it for $400 it's a no brainer ... at that price I wouldn't feel too bad if I got 5 years of constant use and had to toss it ... play it safe, get the SAMs extended warranty ...

I paid $600 and I'm happy 1 year later

Sam's doesn't have delivery do they?


   posted: Aug. 27, 2007 @ 7:47p

Sams does not have delivery unless you order form their website and pay for ltl carrier delivery. Also the price is more if you buy from the Sams auction. I wonder if I can fit this beast in the back of my brothers Honda Pilot to get it home. The big problem for me will be to get my old treadmill down two flights of stairs. I am going need sme big strong guys for that.

Scored one at the Langhorne PA location. The guy was really helpful in loading it up in the back of my pickup truck. Thanks to a buddy was able to slide it down the stairs to the basement - total install time around 30 mins. Don't forget to plug in the magnetic safety pin when powering on (forgot about this lil thing and it had me worried for a bit there)

Total cost $523.xx

What is the difference between Sam's club and Costco? I do not want to pay both memberships.

The guy at Sams loaded it the truck. I left it there since it is just me and my wife and it appeared to heavy to do ourselves. I have to go up two flights of stairs with it. I had hoped to find the weight online, but no info. Just how heavy is this thing?

You are looking at around 300+ lbs. Problem is u cant take it apart because inside the box, besides the TV console, everything else is already assembled.

We used the Forearm Forkliftto lift it off the truck and bring indoors. Its great fro loads on flat surfaces, but on a slope, u can't really do much.

I would recommend using this Shoulder Forklift

Assembly of the treamill shd take around 45 minutes...

I got one in Timonium, MD. The computer showed 4 in the store, including the display, but there was only one in decent shape. One of the other boxes was ripped to shreds and one was only partially boxed. Haven't set it up yet, but it looks to be in brand new condition. Great price, OP.

I'm going to have to pass. Those bars look like they would be very poor to hang clothing on...

It was on the corner of Berlin Cross Keys Road and Rte 42. Not sure what town that is...Williamstown maybe?
