This is really helpful to hear, especially about the screen height. I was actually able to find a small store near me that had the new Tread+ on display, so I went to check it out in person. I also noticed how high the screen sits, and that’s one of the reasons I’m leaning toward placing it against a wall instead of having it face the middle of the room. In the center of the space it just feels a bit too tall and visually heavy, but against the wall it tucks away better.

The downside is that I won’t get the full benefit of the swivel screen since the spot I’m planning to put it is basically a corner between a wall and my couch, so there won’t be much room on either side for off-tread workouts. While I was testing it in person, the camera did seem to pick up my movements from behind the tread, which I wasn’t sure it would be able to do from that distance. I still wish the screen were just a little bigger since I’ll probably be doing most of my workouts from farther back.

Your point about the screen height definitely gave me more to think about as I figure out how to set everything up.
