Nautilus does not list this under "specs" on their site for electrical requirements. Now, after research I know that most treadmills don't work w/GFCI outlets. We are in an older home and found out the hard way when we ordered it. Got an error code immediately, they sent out a new motherboard which didn't even work at all. Finally, had someone come out and say it was the GFCI. We had to return it, they refused to work w/us on shipping and wanted us to pay out of pocket to ship it back(would not give us their "discount") so if we shipped it ourselves it would have cost us $1,000 through Fed Ex. They were so unprofessional that they told us we just needed to sell it on Craigslist so they wouldn't have to take it back! Finally, they worked out a deal so that I could get a Schwinn Airdyne as a replacement. I had to pay $200.00 more for that(got the $599 deal on the mobia) because they wouldn't let me use a discount code. It's been a month and I still haven't gotten the bike. It was my birthday gift from my husband and was absolutely beautiful. I think we got a lemon though because before we shipped it back we hauled it(all 200lbs!) over to the neighbors house to make sure it was our GFCI problem and it didn't work there either! Very disappointed w/Nautilus Customer Service and I would never purchase anything else there again. Please be sure you do not have GFCI outlets.

I bought the Mobia about a month ago for $599, which included free shipping, a mat, and the body fat scale (found this deal on BradsDeals.com). We had been looking for a new treadmill and I couldn't pass that deal up! I put the machine together myself in about 3 hours (I'm a 5'6" woman). All of the pieces were clearly lableled and it was just a matter of taking my time and reading directions thoroughly. If you are considering this machine, buy it NOW. At any price. My husband and I both agree it is the best piece of equipment we have ever owned. He is in much better shape than I am but still cannot complete 30 minutes of walking on this machine at half resistance. I cannot imagine the day will ever come when we can walk at full resistance. I am currently walking 20 minutes, resistance setting of 6, at 2.0 mph. At the end of the 20 minutes, I am so wet from sweating that you would have thought I just stepped out of the shower. I wanted this machine because I abhor running, but there is no amount of running on a regular treadmill that could give me this kind of workout anyways. I have lost almost 2 inches from my waist in 30 days from this machine and moderate dietary changes. I really can't believe that anyone who has actually used this machine would give it a bad review. I have no clue what some people mean by "side to side". The treadles may not look like they are moving up and down very much but why does that matter? All I can say is actually get on the machine and use it. If it doesn't kick your butt then you must be the Incredible Hulk! After reading some of these comments, I want to share my experience.

Considering some of the problems people have had, is $1000 worth taking a chance on getting a machine without defects? I see some people posting used ones for around $800 on craigslist. Is this a machine you would want to buy new for the warranty? Your thoughts? Thanks.

A couple of things: if you can't afford the $200 assembly fee (or whatever it was) I wouldn't get it. It took an experienced assembly person over 3 hours and looked pretty difficult. We would have never been able to do it! Also, it took like 10 or so days to arrive once ordered, so there is a bit of a wait. No turning off or strange noises as some people have had in the previous reviews. It's much quieter than a treadmill and much more visually appealing as a machine. Basically, so far, my husband and I love this thing. It is a hard work out--20 to 30 minutes is about all I can stand at this point. My husband is 6'5'' and although his stride is long he says he can still use effectively without issues. He is a big guy and burns over 400 calories in a half hour going 2mph. I am 5'4/135 lbs, average 2.4 mph, and burned 238 calories in 30 minutes. And it wasn't on the hardest level--it was on 3. So we are quite pleased thus far. Hoping to see the results it claims!

Does it bother your back or knees? I really want to find a good machine that will help me get back in shape. I have back issues and was wondering if anyone that owns a Mobia has back issues?
