How many miles have you and your family endured on your treadmill?
Our PaceMaster Pro Elite crapped out after about 12 years, 4300+ miles, 700+hours RIP
What is in it for me: I am looking for used treadmills with low miles. Trouble is, not sure how to verify miles on all the brands / models.
Please reply to this RW post to describe how to check total miles / hours on your treadmill

Precor 9.27 - just checked - 666.0 Weird and kind of freaky. Hopefully I don't summon the beast next time I go for a run. Maybe I shouldn't have checked. Just realigned the belt. Been running great, no problems.
My question is, how many miles should I be expecting to get out of it? Anyone have an idea? I'm guessing 4000 or so would be reasonable but I have no idea.

Hmmm, I'm somewhere north of 10,000 miles on my "treadmill"; that said, I run outside and have probably only amassed a total of two or three miles in my life indoors on an actual treadmill device.
Okay, I'll go away now.

That's great. I have one of those too.

Sole F63 went about 7000 miles, give or take, in 3 years. 7 decks, 2 belts, and various other parts replaced under warranty. Then main board went and I junked it as the warranty would no longer pay for the decks which were only going ~2 months.
NordicTrack Commercial 1500, around 3000-3500 miles in 1.5 years. Two decks, seven electronic consoles replaced under warranty. Back roller was going when they agreed to declare it a lemon and give me a refund.

last time I checked (can't remember the button sequence I used to display the odometer) I had about 3k on my 13 year old pacemaster. I've replaced the motor belt once but apart from that it works fine. I don't use it much unless the weather is really bad.
I have about 2000 miles on my Precor 9.35. I have flipped the deck once and replaced the belt. It needs a new belt and deck now though.
I got an F80 used and had looked up how to check mileage. I had hubby go look at it and the mileage was only 40 or so. When we got it home and I was looking at the manual, it has instructions for how to reset the mileage, so I have no idea if it was reset before I got it and I don't know if there is a way to check that.
