You convinced me! I ordered it, just waiting for it to arrive. Many of the smaller treadmills have reviews showing they break down within 6-12 months, knowing you've used it almost daily for 2 years is very comforting. Yes it's a bit spendy but replacing equipment yearly is more expensive.
Terrific review! I've been looking for a folding treadmills with auto incline for my home gym for a little while now and this unit, along with the Echelon Stride, are at the top of my list. Your review of this Sunny Health Asuna is by far the best and most thorough I've come across. Very helpful! Great job! Taking price into consideration, I'll most likely go with this one now. Thank you!
Thank you for such a great overview of this product. It can be hard to find real world examples of folding and moving some of these treadmills. I will have to put mine away every time and I found this video quite helpful in my decision. It looks like a winner.
Thanks! I’m glad you found it helpful. I made it because when I was looking for one I couldn’t find all that info so I’m sure other people would want to know too. I do fold it every times I use it and have been doing it for three years now. It is heavy but I find it easy to fold and put away. I hope you enjoy it. 😊
Just got mine yesterday got it set up and have started using it. I watched too many promotional videos and stuff about to many different products and I thought it was a one where you can have it automatically lift up and down. I was wrong lol. Is too heavy for me to lift up and down every time I want to use it and I can't leave it down because I have an Alzheimer's 90-year-old in the house but I found a place to tuck it in my bedroom where I can leave it down all the time. So far I really like it. It's my first treadmill.
I've really been thinking about this since it has the same features as a regular treadmill yet folds and I didn't that big monitor since my band monitors my heartrate.
Excellent review. Was trying to decide on the Sunny 8630 model because I really don’t have much space left to work with. I presently have a HUGE 😩treadmill in my living room and can’t wait to get rid of it! Such a eyesore! Seeing your model thinking about this one now . Thank you for this detailed up close review!🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Thank you for this thorough review Laura! It's very informative and gave me more info than what I was able to find on their website (and actually helps me make the buying decision).
I love my treadmill. It folds flat and you can either store it flat on the floor under a bed (if the bed has room) or straight up against a wall. We don’t have a lot of room room and I fold and unfold it almost daily.
What vibration plate do you have and recommend? This review on treadmill is one of the best. I have the Asuna without incline and it has served me well but I’m thinking about getting this one for the much needed incline feature.
After seeing your review, I'm seriously thinking about getting this treadmill! I have the same criteria as you, compact, foldable, incline and good quality. I'm wondering how it is maintenance wise. Have you found that the belt shifts and needs to be adjusted? The last treadmill I last had was a nuisance as I was always having to adjust the belt. This treadmill looks perfect but curious what to expect as far as maintenance. Thank you for your review. It is awesome :)
Thanks! 😊 The maintenance has been easy. I found after a while the belt shifted and I’d try to shift it back by pushing it with my foot when it was running (not a smart way to fix it) and it would be okay for a few uses and then shift again. Then when I smartened up and looked at the manual and fixed the shift by adjusting the screws I’m the back it was great. Stayed in place after that I will oil it once every six months but that’s easy. I love this treadmill and have been very happy with it.
Hello Laura, thank you so much for this review. I am hoping to buy this exact model but the pink one. After your review, now I know I really want it. So I am just waiting to see if the price will come down a bit here on Amazon Canada and I will get it. Thanks again for this very interesting review!
@@OurBergLife Hello again Laura, I was finally able to get this treadmill on Amazon Canada on a Black Friday - Cyber Monday deal! So, got it for just about CAD$550. I will receive it next week and I can't wait! Your review really helped me make my decision so thank you very much once again for taking the time to show us this treadmill!
Hi. I'm looking to buy this Treadmill. How are you liking it now? I'm planning on using it daily for both walking and jogging. I've seen both positive and negative comments about it. I'm only 5 ft, if that so the platform is fine. I love how it folds easily. Would you still recommend it?
I still love it and I used it daily (mostly lol). I’m very happy with the purchase. It is a bit heavy but nothing crazy. It is a good, solid treadmill.
@@OurBergLife Thanks for responding so fast! Glad to hear you're loving it! I'm sure I'll be able to maneuver it. I'll consider it weight training, 😆. I'm waiting to see if it will go on sale Friday or Monday. It's around $1500 Cdn tax incl. at Walmart online. Amazon's out of them. I'll probably get it anyway though. ~ Melissa
@@OurBergLifeOne more question. How loud is it while walking/jogging? I live in an apartment with wood floors. Would you suggest I get a mat to put under the treadmill?
I just received my treadmill! Such a pleasure that there's really no installation! The instructions say that we should lubricate under the mat before using it for the first time but it doesn't how much? Do I just add some along the sides on both sides of the treadmill or do I need to add the lubricant under the entire mat on the board?
You have to adjust the belt using the Allen key that came with it. There should be instructions in the manual on how to adjust it. Let me know if you can’t find it.
Ha Ha ..... running in front of the TV ..... I do the same on a Gazelle that I bought over 25 years ago. I also have a concept one rolling machine (I should use more often .... fold away issue's lol). Your treadmill is perfect in size and foldability. Great demonstration. By the way, what is the item the cat was on?
Lol! It’s the only way I like to run. I’m not a fan of listening to music so watching TV keeps me motivated. 😃 The red thing is a vibrating platform. I love it too. It is good for toning muscles. It seems funny but it actually works.
Great review...I called Sunny earlier to ask about specs etc and to see if there was anymore they could do as a discount nope... But I'm still going to get it with the 10% new year discount. Your review is excellent. Is there anything you need to clean extra due to cat shed because I have a cat? Did you get any warranties? Again excellent review...especially showing how it can roll the rep could not tell me that..I didn't share with him it could roll differently lol. Anyway excellent review...
Thank you! 😊 I have two cats and I don’t find the cat hair much of an issue. I use a swiffer duster to clean it. It’s easy to keep clean. I don’t think I got any extra warranty. Maybe I did but I forget 😂
@@OurBergLife thank you for responding. I should have my treadmill by next week. I have a ranch and vinyl floors so I actually got a 7mm pad by CQ... I'm pretty excited . I have a Polar so I am not counting on the accuracy of the treadmill and read some folks said it was not very accurate. I'm gonna watch their treadmill workout videos and whatever I find on TH-cam. Woo woo
That’s great that you did get out. I tried but then found I got bored of the same routes. I’m not a fan of listening to music while exercising so watching TV keeps me motivated. It’s good that you continued to get exercise. So great for your psyche!
Apparently they have a new user manual that isn’t as detailed as before. So weird why they would do that?! I don’t use the power switch because I found it annoying turning it on and off. I just unplug and replug it. The switch always stays in the on position.
True but I think that would make it harder to fold up and store. You can buy a water bottle attachment. I keep my water bottle on the coffee table beside me.
Thank you for your awesome insight, because or your review my wife and I purchased the Asuna and couldn’t be more happier!
I’m so glad to hear you like it. I love mine and use it almost daily! 🙂
I guess this helps explain why Laura looks so amazing!
lol! You are too kind. ☺️
This was really helpful… I’m convinced! Thanks for such a comprehensive and realistic review.

Let me know how you like it! I agree, it’s a bit pricey but worth spending money for something that will last.

Very helpful. I didn't know to fold it again and got the info from you. Thorough work.
Also I too am very pleased with this machine! 😅
I have this treadmill in pink I love it been using it for a year now:) I got this one because it was a small fold up one with the incline.
I've really been thinking about this since it has the same features as a regular treadmill yet folds and I didn't that big monitor since my band monitors my heartrate.

I’m glad you found it helpful! It was everything I wanted to know about it when I bought it. I love it!
Did you get it?
🤩 Wonderful review. Thank you.
How often do I need to do the belt correction or alignment?
You just have to do it if the belt starts shifting to one side. It only happens a couple times a year to me.
Does it fold flat or at a 90 degree angle?
I love my treadmill. It folds flat and you can either store it flat on the floor under a bed (if the bed has room) or straight up against a wall. We don’t have a lot of room room and I fold and unfold it almost daily.

How often do you lubricate your Asuna treadmill?
Depends on how much I use it. Normally every 4-6 months
Thank you for this review! Can the treadmill stand up on its own when folded upright?
My pleasure.
Yes, it stands on its own.
This video is super helpful! Was it easy to assemble when you first got it?
Thanks! Yes, I am pretty handy but I don’t recall it being difficult at all.
It comes already assembled, you just have to take it out from the box!

Recently purchased having issues with belt as it keeps shifting to the left. Anyone have this issue?
You have to adjust the belt using the Allen key that came with it. There should be instructions in the manual on how to adjust it. Let me know if you can’t find it.
I can't figure out how to pull out the sideways transport wheels.
Found out. You have to pull the wheels UP, so put your hand underneath. And you have to really tug HARD.
Yes. It was harder than expected.

I’ve been lucky during the pandemic, I could get out from home to walk around
That’s great that you did get out. I tried but then found I got bored of the same routes. I’m not a fan of listening to music while exercising so watching TV keeps me motivated.
It’s good that you continued to get exercise. So great for your psyche!
@@OurBergLife well actually using same routes everyday bored me too XD
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU daughter happy Diwali mum ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. Happy Diwali to you too.
The user manual is horrible. Now I can't find the power switch! And the manual doesn't even say where it's at.
The power button is a red button right next to where the plugin goes at the front of the machine. I'm 6'5", so to get down there is a chore for me.
Apparently they have a new user manual that isn’t as detailed as before. So weird why they would do that?!
I don’t use the power switch because I found it annoying turning it on and off. I just unplug and replug it. The switch always stays in the on position.
Thank you so much for asking this question. I was getting so frustrated because I couldn't find it either.😅
Do you know how to turn off the dashboard while working out? It’s so bright!
I can’t believe there is no water bottle holder 😢
True but I think that would make it harder to fold up and store. You can buy a water bottle attachment. I keep my water bottle on the coffee table beside me.
