My major considerations when purchasing a treadmill include functionality, simplicity and price.I can easily give the Weslo Cadence G 5.9 two thumbs up for all three criteria.
For a price considerably lower than most models in its category (up to 70% less), it gives me the essentials while being very uncomplicated to set-up, use, and maintain.
I can say that this treadmill is perfect for people on a budget who want the basic but effective functions.
Because of its ease of use, I also recommend it to people who are just starting out on their road to fitness, or are going back to the grind after quite some time.

Features
2 Mode Functions
Manual and electric treadmills have their own pro and cons.
Thankfully, I have the option to switch from manual to automatic and vice versa with the Goplus Electric Treadmill 800W.
6 Pre-Set Fitness Programs
For someone who does not want a personal trainer hovering over me but still likes structure in my workout, this feature is perfect.
It has 3 programmed workouts targeting weight loss, and another 3 focused on high intensity training.
I can select one depending on my objectives, schedule, or just my mood for the day.
Easy Pulse™ Heart Rate Monitor
I can use the built-in thumb sensors to easily monitor my heart rate. It does not include control features which means that it does not automatically vary the speed for me to stay in my target heart rate zone, but that doesn’t bother me at all.
LCD Digital Information Indicators
We have all seen text and figures displayed on those complicated treadmills, most of which we don’t need, much less comprehend.
The Weslo Cadence G 5.9 screen shows fundamental information like: calories burned, speed, distance, time and pulse – just what I like to see.
The screen is also blue-tinted, which makes the details easy to read even in low lighting.
Incline
The Weslo Cadence G 5.9 inclines to a maximum of 6.7%. This allows for more intense workouts when I feel like it. This will also enable people of different heights to use the treadmill comfortably.
Although the incline is done manually, it is not a problem because it is not very heavy at all.

Ease of Assembly and Simple Design
Setting-up the Weslo Cadence G 5.9 is a breeze. Its parts are pre-assembled.
There are well-written assembly instructions and clear diagrams available in the user manual.
It folds up so it saves space and allows for easy storage.
Because of its narrow size, it can also be easily transported through doors when I feel like changing my view.
However, don’t get me wrong, I can still comfortably run or jog on its 29” width.
Speed Controls
The speed can be adjusted between 1-10 mph so I can shift even in the middle of my workout.
It allows for half-mile increments, which I really like because it gives me a chance to accelerate more comfortably.
Comfort Cell Cushioning Technology™
This unique feature provides comfort and support as it absorbs impact on joints.
