How reliable is the weight limit? I'm a big dude 6'5', 340lb, would this be stable and reliable enough for me to walk on and mild jogging?

Christopher, I would liken this treadmill at just slightly less than the ones I used to use at the County Recreation Center. I am 5'9 and 200 and have been using this thing to walk 4 miles per day at 15 minute miles five days a week. I keep the belt lubricated with silicone like the manual says and have had zero problems with it. Everything works today the same as it has for the past two years. This has been a quality piece of equipment that is built very well. I can't see that you would have a problem with it at all. Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact me if you have anymore.

I started on mine at 245lbs...it handled that ok...walking on an incline of 4...jogging, I have no experience with.

My son weighs 240#s and he jogs and walks on it. But if you are a 'big dud' I would make sure that my floor was stable for the bouncing up and down while running. I've had the machine for 2 years the only problem I now am having is that the controls on the side handles sometimes don't work. Those on the console do fine however. Also place it on a mat if you get it because it dos leak black particles on the floor.

I'm a little over 200 pounds. I've had no issues with the chair being able to support my weight, either up right or leaning back, and I've had this chair for a few years now. I imagine a larger person might have problems with the seat size but for me, a 5 foot 9 inch 200 pound guy, it works. The only problem I've ever had with this chair is the allen head screws get loose over time and you have to be re-tightened periodically. If you put Teflon tape on the threads before you screw them in it resolves that issue.

I have not used it as a jogger yet. It has been very stable as a trailer providing I ride sensibly. I believe it will be fine as a jogger if jogging occurs on paved decent surfaces and with out abrupt changes of direction. Any jogger is subject to sensible use. I would buy this product again.

I am 170 pounds and find the Rollater very stable when I sit on it.I cannot imagine it being safe for a person over 200 pounds given the complex mechanism that enables the compact folding function.

I weight 170lb and have no problem. I think that even up to 200 may be ok. May need to tighten up the slack though.

I weigh 285 and it supported that no problem, however you need to make sure the thing is wide enough for 400 lbs

I'm definitely not skinny but I don't run on it either. For me it's very stable while walking fast. I have it sitting on a pad I bought at Walmart so it does not damage my wood floor. That may also help.

My husband is 6 ft 3 and has no problems pushing it and jogging with it. I think the whole advantage of this stroller is it tall-people friendly.

I weigh around 220 and have never felt unsafe. I have owned it for over a year.

I weigh about 195. It seems fine and I'd imagine it could handle more. If you're pushing 250, you might be pushing the limits. I'm not a doctor but that's my diagnosis.

Based on my ownership and use of this machine for a few months, I would say you can safely jog on it for a 20-minute session every day, provided you don't expect to run faster than a light jog (4 to 6 mph), and your weight is not excessive. Keep the belt lubricated and it should be fine. If you're looking for a serious workout (faster speeds and longer sessions), you should consider a more advanced model.

The walker I purchased has been used for many months by a 5'-2" woman with no wobble problem. I also made a "wobble" comment, warning that an unusually tall and heavy person could have stability issues.

I am not tall lol! but my GF is 6' and she doesn't have any problems with it at all. You have to consider when you are pushing it (or at least when jogging) there is somewhat of a forward lean going on.

yes, I can. it's highest speed of 6.2 and i weigh about 100 lbs but I run on it fine while my husband jogs on it at about 126lbs at the 5 setting. hope that helps because before I bought it some people say they couldn't run on it.

I'm very slender and at 6' in height only weigh 142 lbs. I thought I read in one of the reviews that the gentleman in question was a 'big' guy, but he didn't give his weight. Since my weight was not in question I really didn't think anything further about it. I do know this....it is very, very stable and sturdy. At times, I roll all around my garage very smoothly. Hope this helps.

You can walk quickly, but the front wheel starts to shake if you start jogging. I'd recommend getting the larger front wheel upgrade that doesn't rotate if you want to jog.

No, it's very stable. I do assisted pull ups with a band at 280 lbs and it doesn't even wabble. Hope this helps.
