Sunny P8700 Treadmill Review

How long will the Sunny P8700 last?

The Sunny P8700 weighs in at 103 lbs. and has a 220 lb. weight capacity. As such, we think this machine will not last with continued use. A light user might get a year or two but honestly you get what you pay for in this price range. Even the warranty suggests this machine will not last for too long with a 3-year structural frame and a 180-day other parts and components warranty. You must lube your belt before use with this treadmill – forget this step and you will not have to worry about how long the treadmill will last.

Brief Overview

The Sunny Health & Fitness P8700 Treadmill can keep you fit (if you are not tall or heavy) with 3 (manually adjusted) different levels of incline and time, distance, and calories burned information. The digital console provides data that's easy for your brain to process during a workout and when you are finished - no need to worry about storage because this machine folds up nicely to save space.

Overall Quality

The Sunny P8700 treadmill is offered in pink and is a home treadmill that has decent features, especially for the price. You can adjust your workout by choosing from nine built in programs so you can get as easy or as difficult a workout as you want. This is great for beginners who are just getting into fitness and want an easy way to keep track of their progress.
The treadmill also offers a handrail key control system, which allows you to easily monitor your progress. Another feature that stands out for this treadmill is its soft drop hydraulic system. You can adjust it to go as slow as 0.5 miles per hour and fast up to 9 miles per hour. This makes it ideal for beginners. It is sold with a 2.0 HP motor and a narrow surface area that is 49" x 15.5", so it is not optimal for those with longer strides or heavier muscles.
