When choosing your manual treadmill, there are always a lot of aspects to take into account. Affordability, dimensions, adjustability, efficiency – all of these traits are very important to consider.

And not every treadmill in the market today can achieve a successful balance between all of these details.

Luckily Sunny Health & Fitness is a brand with a lot of experience.

For over 15 years this company has been releasing and refining their own fitness equipment, always striving to find the best possible result.

We have previously featured this particular model in our article comparing the best manual treadmill in the market. Whilst it wasn't the number one it certainly is a good treadmill for the budget as you will see from our comments below.
 
In this SF-T1407M manual treadmill review we will attempt to find out whether Sunny Health & Fitness actually managed to combine all the best traits into a single manual treadmill that caters to even the most hardened of runners and is perfectly tailored to fit into your budget plan!


Features

Just like a lot of its competing treadmill models, the SF-T1407M doesn’t really stray too far from the pre established designs and trademark features. And when you go with a trusted design, adding your own touches and unique details, you can be certain that the product you are delivering will perfectly satisfy the uses for which it was designed.

And this manual treadmill does exactly that. The overall design is standard – with a sturdy outer frame, a wide and textured running belt, and a moderate incline, this is a balanced piece of equipment.

The running belt has the iconic dual flywheels, which require more effort by the user to propel the belt. This optimizes the burning of calories and gives you a greater challenge and a better workout.

Although the running belt is at a fixed incline, it is still optimized to give the least possible pressure on the ankles, while demanding more efforts compared to a horizontal position.

The outer frame is robust and stable, with two non slip grips that protrude quite a lot. This allows the user to hold on and get more stability while running – a nifty feature that many treadmills do not include.

It also comes with its own display. This informative display can track your distance, speed, time and burned calories, and will also easily scan through your personal performance data. This makes it a very useful feature when you want to monitor your progress over a period of time.

One detail that really stands out with its usefulness is the option to fold your treadmill when it is not in use. Compact and lightweight, this treadmill can be simply folded vertically when you’re done and tucked somewhere out of sight. This is made easier with the addition of two transportation wheels. That way everything is made simpler, and the efforts are very minimal. For users with limited space such as small apartments or garage gyms, the folding features comes as a life saver.


Product Dimensions

Sunny Health & Fitness made certain that their SF-T1407M manual treadmill fit into the perfectly balanced criteria when dimensions are considered. Not too bulky, and reasonably lightweight, this piece of equipment is still sturdy enough to support most users.

In summary, the detailed dimensions are:

  • Footprint Dimensions: 49L X 23W X 50H
  • Folded Dimensions: 20L X 23W X 50H
  • Running surface dimensions: 42L x 13W
  • Max user weight: 220lbs

Pros

  • The addition of dual flywheels is not present in every manual treadmill, and this makes the SF-T1407M stand out from some of its contemporary rival models. These flywheels are an essential element of the treadmill’s structure, and work in unison with the belt. All the while they will give you a much needed challenge that will compensate for the fixed incline of the running belt.

  • Folding option comes as a very handy addition for users who are short on space. No more rooms occupied by a treadmill, and no more issues with space. Simply fold it and wheel it out of sight.

Cons

  • Fixed incline is always an argument, but even so, it is the least problem. The fact is that the fixed incline eliminates the greater challenges that come with more steep angles, and thus caters a little less to those more seeking hill running. But even so, the fixed angle is balanced and ensures a natural running posture.

Summary

We hope that with this SF-T1407M manual treadmill review we managed to give you an idea of just how good of a treadmill this really is. Balanced, affordable, efficient, and compact, this piece of equipment from Sunny Health & Fitness really hits the nail on the head when it comes to achieving a very straightforward, satisfying and balanced design. A recommendation for beginners and experts alike!
