Just bought an L-8 Pro-Sports Trainer (this is the same as an L-7, only a little longer). I weigh about 235 lbs. The treadmill wont/cant maintain speed at anything over a 10% grade. If it is set at 3 mph, the actual speed will vary between 2 and 6 mph. It is horrible. The factory says "Thats just the way it is". The store I bought it from is now telling me I should trade in my 3 week old treadmill and buy a different brand. This machine is the biggest piece if junk I have ever used.
