I bought this treadmill about four months ago and use it almost daily. Great value, sturdy and easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone. I used to use an eliptical daily, now I have moved on to the treadmill and find the transition was easy since my endurance was up. I am not sure how easy this would be for a beginner but I imagine no problem at all.
