I've had this treadmill for about three years now, and I log about 5 miles a day, and long runs (10-15 miles) on the weekend so as you could imagine, I needed something that will not fall apart after a few hundred miles.

The Belt
One important factor in choosing a Treadmill (for me at least) is the presence of shock absorbers. Since I do a lot of running, the last thing I want to do is destroy my joints with the constant pounding. These days it seems that most new treadmills have some type of shock absorption system to make running a low impact sport, allowing you to run for many more years than you otherwise might have been able to.
The shocks on this model are kind of like a rubber band on both sides of the belt. If you watch someone running on the E3200, it will almost look like they are bouncing, due to the rubber bands. However, when you’re on it, you do not notice the bouncing at all; it just feels like normal running. It’s what you don’t notice that is the important thing.

Also, the belt is wide and long enough to allow you to drift a bit if you are watching a movie, or are just spacing out listening to music.

Controls
The quick access buttons allow you to jump to speeds in intervals of a mile an hour, from 0-10, or you can select tenths of a mile to increase or decrease gradually.
It does this by offering buttons 1-10 that you can directly punch to go to that speed. Or use the +/- buttons to go, say 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and so on. If you hold down the +/- button, it will rapidly advance through the digits.

The incline goes up to 10% which is nice for some steep hills. It increases/decreases at .5% intervals. It does not go below 1%, so you are always at a slight incline, which is to mimic actual running. Some treadmills actually have a decline mode, which is nice to train your shins going down hills. This model does not offer that function.

Book Holder
The book holder is nice for magazines, but I personally can not focus my eyes to read while I run, this might be better for people who plan to walk a lot. I find I lose the page too often. One drawback is that it is hard to turn the pages in magazines when they are in the book holder. This, again, would likely not be a problem to walkers.

Cool… You bet
The built in fans are perfectly aimed to blast you at low or high while you run. They make a HUGE difference, I must say… they really cool you down! A very nice added bonus.

Cup Holders
Two cup holders are great, although a bit big for water bottles, which tend to bounce around a bit. They will fit larger bottles comfortably.

Adjusting the belt
With any home treadmill, there is a small amount of maintenance that is needed. For instance, the belt can eventually float to one side or the other, or skip when you are running fast. When the belt becomes off-centered or slips (which is rare), it is easy to adjust with a simple alan wrench (included) and takes about a minute to do. There are detailed instructions in the manual, but basically it requires a half turn of a small both on either side of the end of the belt. Every accessible, and easy to maintain.

Additional Info
The machine is also rather quiet. I use it on a second floor and have gone downstairs to the neighbor's place, and it is barely audible. They never complain about it (and I run most every day).

This machine also has a heart rate monitor, with two hand grips that read BPM. I do not rely on this and have read they are very inaccurate. You are best getting a separate heart rate monitor chest strap.

Also it has built in programs, which I personally do not use; you can also create your own, but it is very confusing. You can choose to run a few preset workouts that are tailored at weight-loss, cardio development, hills, etc. I prefer not to use to programs because they seem a bit too simple and I can adjust everything I want while running.

Overall this is a great machine, I use it almost daily. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted a trustworthy treadmill that could be pounded on day after day.

Pros:
Low Price
Built in fans
Shock-absorbers
Dual cup holders/book holder
Easy to read screen
Holds a constant speed and gets up to speed quickly

Cons:
Only goes up to 10 mph, in retrospect, I wish I spent more money to get one that went up to 12mph, but it was much more expensive to do so. This should not be a problem for most runners though, unless you want to work on speed and sprints. You can not run faster than a 6min mile. I ran the NYC 5th Ave mile recently, at under 6 mins, and I generally start races off about 5:45 for the first mile or two (then I slow). It would be nice to be able to train at higher speeds indoors, but alas, I can’t. Ultimately this will be the reason I eventually will be forced to upgrade.
