Manual Treadmill

Does anyone have one? How do you like it? I've never used a manual one in my life.
I just bought one last night. It had a lot of really great reviews and only two that were bad (and the bad reviews were pretty limited, one said "you get what you pay for" and the other just called it terrible so I don't know why they got said reviews) but I'm just looking to hear more from people.
I needed something cheap that wouldn't take up a lot of space. I'm not allowed to do any major working out right now so I figured a treadmill was the way to go. I'd like to actually walk outside but that isn't an option, either.

I've never heard of a manual treadmill but with exercise stuff it usually gets bad reviews because people dont want to put the work into using it properly so they dont get the results they want instantly.

I imagine a manual treadmill is hard work and how many people are really into putting too much effort into something?

That's kind of what Ii was thinking the reviews might stem from. Others said it was very easy to use and a great work out. I guess we'll see. It was only $130
so I won't be super upset if it doesn't work out for me.

they aren't that different. You just make it move instead of the belt moving itself

That's not a bad price. If I didn't have my elliptical I would want one.
