How easy is it to fold this treadmill? Any hydraulic assist? I have a space constraint in my house &amp; 'll need to fold this treadmill after every use.

No hydraulic assist, but I still feel it is pretty easy to fold. The bigger problem for you might be that it doesn't fold up very small. The platform doesn't fold all the way up...it sticks out at an angle so it still takes up a lot of room...

Be aware it's a heavy treadmill like most high quality running units, so even though it has wheels unless your on concrete or wood floor they sink into the carpet. It's almost easier to pull the treadmill where you need it to go vs. trying to push through a door since view will be obstructed. Not something i would want to move around on a daily basis.

Check and see if there is a knob that needs to be loosened. I just fold and push it up. Check out these instructions:http://www.centralvacuumstores.com/meta/pdfs/info/Full+Sized+Technical+Spec+Sheet.pdf

This model does not fold completely vertical. It does fold up well but it is a very large treadmill and is very bulky and heavy. When folded up, the base supports still are stretched out across the floor and are cumbersome. We really like this treatmill but it is a very large model and will take quite a bit of space.

Could you post the floor space it takes when folded? I'm interested in purchasing one for myself. Also, did you get an inside delivery or was it 'curbside only'? Many treadmills seem to be delivered that way, and getting a large item inside and up to my apartment is no something I'd be able to manage. That's the deal breaker for me. Thanks.

The 1200i treadmill features the EZ Drop folding system, which makes it easy to raise and lower the running deck. Extremely easy and safe to fold on a daily basis. Strength required if you decide to move the entire unit.

I'm not elderly, but I am disabled w/chronic pain-many elderly people can run circles around me. That being said, I have no trouble folding it up. I lay it in an unobstructed area in a hatchback, and slide it back out w/no problem. I did have a small car & it is a pain if you have to stand it behind the seat, or jockey the wheels around in a small trunk.

It folds very easily. I have balance issues as well as weakness and I can get it in and out of the back seat .It helps to lift it by the handle AND cross bar on the bottom. I love the ease of mobility due to the swiveleffect of the front wheel. You can turn on a dime, so to speak . Good luck!

Its pretty easy to fold up but to transport it from one area to another takes some strength. I usually have to leave it in a stationary spot (open),or ask my husband to stow it away. Hope this was helpful.

Super easy! All you do is press the sides in, fold in the arms, fold and move. It can be done in under a minute.

I don't have a photo of it folded, but it does fold upward. If you look at the stock photo provided of the treadmill, to fold it up you simply squat down behind the running platform and lift. It then folds vertically toward the running handles until it is in an upright position. It is easy to fold and takes up much less space than in the operational position.

We lifted the back of the rower and it was very easy to move without folding it. We then folded it and it was quite awkward to move. Wouldn't want to move it on a daily basis.

I have not had any issues with folding it. I don't use this stroller as much as I used to though. Sorry, if I am not much help.

Yep you can fold it; tried it just now. The adapters do stick out a little, but they don't interfere with the fold at all.

very easy to fold just push it together. I use both hands, but could probably be folded with one. I am 80 yrs old and not much strength left in my arms/hands

Very easy. I keep mine unfolded all the time. I love this machine. Plus it looks good in a room un-folded.

Karen.. unfortunately that is the only disadvantage that I found with this machine.. while it does fold up you must remove the foot assembly in order to fit under your average bed or in an average size closet .. to answer what I can only assume would be your next question is it does require tools to remove that assembly.. I hope this helps you make a decision..
