I bought the same one 3 months ago. It's an alright treadmill. I can't tell if the durasoft really works, I tried adjusting it several times, but I don't notice a difference at all in cushioning. Overall it is a nice treadmill, I have put 300 miles on it so far and my only complaints are that the belt slips a little bit on lower speeds, and the heart rate monitor does not work at all. I never use heart rate monitors anyways, so its no biggie to me. I bought the treadmill beacuse of the price I wasn't looking for a flashy model with a lot of features, did you know that there are treadmills with DVD players on them? Who needs a friggin DVD player on their treadmill? Jeez people. One thing I regret though is that it only goes up to 10 MPH, so it is not very good for interval running. But other than that it serves it's purpose nicely. Hope this helps.
