I purchased a Cardiotech X9 AC treadmill in April 2023 to replace an earlier model Cardiotech machine. This one was definitely not as well made. A few months after the warranty expired the control board failed. Best price to replace will be around $500 and I was advised I was lucky one could be sourced. Don't know if it is worth it as I don't have… Read more

any confidence in a machine only lasting just over two years, especially considering it didn't get a heavy use. The lifetime / 10 year warranty may be good for the motor and frame, parts that you would expect to last at least 10 years, but the trap is that critical parts have a very limited warranty and no guarantee of availability.

Absolutely appalling customer service, bought a treadmill in 2022, had nothing but trouble since the beginning. Then it came to the treadmill abruptly stopping after 15 minutes of use became a serious hazard. Did everything that was suggested to fix the issue which still didn't help. No care or concern for safety of their own product. Expects the… Read more

customer to pay for a new belt when the treadmill has not been used frequently. Now an obscene dust collector.

Worst costumer service I ever experienced ,the repair guy asked me for cash to pay for the job, paid him $1350 in cash no invoice! So he "Repaired" the item and left,. When I used the machine it worked for couple of minutes, I called him back he pulled it apart again, said he need to get same bits and left, this was 4 weeks ago, now he is not… Read more

answer my phone calls or react to my messages, so i will report him to the tax department for the cash no invoice , and get in touch whit the department of fair trading,

Worst service ever – I wish I had read the other 35 bad after-service reviews before purchasing from this company. My massage chair has been out of commission for 9 months, and I’ve finally given up and thrown it out. Here’s why: the customer service was horrendous. They made countless excuses to avoid coming out and fixing the chair. They diagnosed the issues over… Read more

the phone and got it wrong both times. After their wrong diagnoses, they went completely silent, claiming they would “take care of it” and then never followed up. They are so friendly and accommodating when you’re buying the chair, but once it breaks, they couldn't care less. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear of this company. Also, the elderly man that does all the calls Yells over the top of you when you ask why it has taken 9 months for you to fix the chair. See photos of how they left the chair for months sitting in our home.

Excellent Service - Nice Machine – From my first phone contact to clarify a few points, continued on to comleting purchase, the delivery and install was perfect and the machine performs nicely. Both sales person and delivery/installer were very helpful, personable and a pleasure to deal with. Looking forward to many kilometres on the treadmill. I rarely give a review, let's… Read more ·  1

Worst Customer Service with hidden warranty exclusions – Hi sold my cardio tech massage chair to a family member. They called asking for the warranty to be transferred over because it was making a weird noise. I called cardio tech to organise that and they said because we have changed ownership it basically has avoided warranty even though we have one year left still remaining. This is very sneaky and… Read more

shouldn't matter who owns the chair, the chair itself has a warranty and should be honoured. Will never recommend ever again!

Bought Cardiotech treadmill, had issues from the beginning. Tried to contact for follow up service and responses were virtually non existence for a long time and finally responded saying apologies as we have had change of agents , change of etc.… Read more

etc. even then when trying to get a resolution they basically offer nothing of a solution and then go missing once again. Being in management sales myself this has to be the worst experience i have encountered, i could not fathom doing that to my clients. I would not be recommending cardiotech to anyone.

 Follow-up  · Been emailed by product review asking if any solutions were offered , as has been the norm with this company , customer service and focus is virtually non existent. I get better follow up by a review website than a company selling their product, that in itself says a lot

Value for money. Quality product, quality results – I am a 46 year old mother, having had 7 children over the years, working full time in a very busy job, as a solo parent, I am sadly currently overweight, I am anemic (due to an internal medical issue) and I have cerebral palsy as well as scoliosis. This means I can often be quite exhausted, sometimes needing iron transfusions, and some days I… Read more

have pain in my hips/ankles and/or back that affect how much I can actually physically do & I often lose some toe nails from the pressure of shoes on my feet when I jog/run. I stopped going to park runs due to my own embarrassment & shame, & I failed at joining the gym due to fat shaming comments that also caused hurt, embarrassment & shame.

Since I purchased the treadmill in January this year, after much product/website reviewing & research, I have lost 12 kgs & am down a size & a half. For me, & my busy lifestyle, that is really good - and I am still going.

I absolutely love my pink Breakfree treadmill, I enjoy the inclined mountain/hill climbs, which is so easy to transition through levels while working out & takes just a second to change - I enjoy that I can simply walk on those days where I have done a long shift and /or am simply exhausted- or a slightly inclined slow walk on those days when I have pain & walking can be more difficult.

I enjoy the higher inclines and faster speeds when I’m having a good day & feeling energised - I love that I can do alternate interval workouts - I can make up my own too - which my physio & personal trainer are completely supportive of - and I enjoy that I can so easily mix it up as I go to meet my ability from day to day, week to week.

There are so many different workouts and programs - which are fun to try out & makes sure I am never bored - it definitely gives me a giggle or two when I try one I am not quite fit enough for yet - even my pets seem to giggle watching me try them haha - but it encourages me to want to get up to that level eventually too!

It also has a built in fan to keep me cool which my face definitely appreciates haha - and I can play my music /verbal digital books easily through the built in speaker & connection isn’t difficult at all!

The kit that came with it helps me keep it all oiled & aligned and I have found that the cushioned deck /running mat helps & is actually softer on my hips/ankles joints while I walk/jog, unlike cement outside & I can definitely feel the difference.

It has plenty of room to move, unlike the cheaper thinner models, it’s so easy to close & move if needed, & when I want to put the mat down again, after being folded, it does it automatically for me!

This is a beautiful piece of quality workout equipment- that will suit anyone & everyone from a beginner to an experienced runner.

I am not going to lie & say I use it every day - or I use it for hours each workout - because realty is that as a full time working mom with a disability, that just doesn’t happen. I use it for 30-60 minutes depending on my energy & pain levels each time.

But I do use it each week, it has helped me to start losing weight (12 kilos down so far), I am feeling better about myself, I am healthier & happier, it does not cause me pain to use it (unlike when I jog outside using footpaths etc) and I am going to be using it more & more as I get fitter.

Thankyou to the loveliest lady who helped me with the purchase, my questions, arranging the delivery/installation etc - it was such an easy and straightforward process. Thankyou to the young gent who delivered it, installed it & showed me how to use it, maintain it & get the best out of it. Thankyou to the manufacturer/designer who developed a product that genuinely helps & is such great value for money.

Long time Cardio Tech user – I encountered a very friendly individual upon my contact with CardioTech this morning as I have been having some issues with my treddy recently. Attempts to speak to a human the last month was near impossible. As a long time, customer of Cardio Tech, this is not what I have experienced historically, and I was frustrated. TODAY WAS A VERY DIFFERENT… Read more

EXPERIENCE, everyone I spoke with were customer/solution focused, and very responsive. My faith and trust in Cardio Tech have been restored as of today from the actions of the mighty three people I interacted with. Customer service is NOT dead it is very much alive and thriving now. I could not believe how quickly the team co-ordinated a service technician to attend. The tech even messaged prior to his arrival to advise of his approximate arrival time. During my interaction with the technician, I identified immediately he was very down to earth and very approachable, furthermore was only too happy to help. It was evident he holds extensive knowledge in this area and took extra time with me to educate me with a few tips on how to get the best out of my machine. Nothing was too much trouble for this techy. I am incredibly grateful he attended today as I now feel empowered to maintain my machine. And I can get back to my training schedule with my goal of improving my running times. I have taken time to I write this as a thank you to the team as I was a cranky customer until today. I am not sure where this amazing team has been recently but please do not leave. I wish I could name these wonderful employees however I do not think I am allowed. THANK YOU FOR THE FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE today and I hope these wonderful employees know who I am speaking highly of, and I hope your bosses know the value you three bring to Cardio Tech.

Great treadmill but overheats even in air conditioning and stops suddenly – Bought and received CARDIO TECH X9AC Club Series in April 2020. Worked brilliantly in Winter but once the warmer weather kicked in, it stopped suddenly after just over 1km, walking between 4.8-5 km/hour at a 2-3% incline and continued to stop after less time on the machine. Couldn’t complete a 4km walk without it stopping 4-5 times. Contacted… Read more

company and service guy was sent out 4-5 times during the course of 3-4 months (QLD summer). Belt and computer was replaced. Helped a little bit but machine still stopped suddenly.

After 2 years, I realised putting the air con on helped prevent the machine from stopping. However, since warmer weather started in Brisbane in the latter half of 2022, the treadmill started stopping again, even with the air con on in room in which the machine is used. It has continued to stop 3-4 times while I’m trying to complete a 4km walk. The machine stopped last night after I’d walked only 800m. It then stopped again, after it had been switched off and unplugged, when I had walked 450m.

Machine is stored against the wall but it moved away to allow space on both sides.

Silicone spray is used to lubricate the belt.

I don’t know what to do.

Bought our 9x club series about 4.5 yrs ago.. the follow up service is a joke. Have had e1 issues since purchase, they can NEVER get a tech out, was left hanging for years with the run around of a sometimes working machine. It's now out of warranty so the fix will likely be expensive, despite the fact that the issues started while in warranty … Read more

Do NOT buy, there are way better options out there. Cardiotech is fine until something goes wrong, and then you're at their mercy as they just don't seem to care unless you're footing the bill.

For what i paid, I expected a way better life span on this treadmill, its been taken care of by the book, but obviously the model has issues .. top of the range my a**. Never again.

Got an issue with my NightTrain 3XI Emailed the service team over a week ago. No answer. Emailed the sales team a few days ago, it got forwarded to the service team and asked for a response. No answer. Very disappointing. The motor has started to seize up and the machine is not even 5 years road.

there phone is disconected , all there nunbers are disconected. Tried to goto there stores per google map but none are open , went to there head officw in eagle farm but discovered a closed down industrial office with a delivery company now occupying the space , all i wanted was my tredmill to be serviced if possible with waranty. But now its like the company has closed down and forgot to tell anyone about it, its a shame because i made an effort to try and find a reputable long standing australian product and now i feel i have nothing to show for my faith, and ive been scammed.

No customer service – Just bought the cardiotech x9 pro, after two weeks I got an E1 error and the machine has stopped working.

Great service, great purchase – Cardiotech is an outfit that walks the talk.
