Criticisms are far less frequent but still consistent around a few practical issues: reviewers noted limitations in some feature details (2 mentions) such as inability to rely on built-in handle heart-rate for certain workouts and no convenient place to store the remote on the walking pad. Performance complaints (2 mentions) focused on a modest incline travel (only a few inches) and an awkward mid-range jogging speed for some users. Durability maintenance was also mentioned (1 mention), warning that if the wax wears off the deck may require flipping or replacement, indicating some ongoing upkeep needs.
