Best Treadmills
This is a great question - what are the best treadmills? As someone who has designed treadmills professionally, I’ll give you my opinion on this subject.
Finding the best treadmills really depends on you, and your needs and desires. I can give you some great tips on what’s important to have on a treadmill but, ultimately, you will have to decide what will suit you best.
Power
The vast majority of treadmills are powered by an electric motor. This motor drives the belt that you walk or run on. It’s really important that you get a treadmill that has a big enough motor to do the work without being stressed. A motor that has a continual rating of around 3 horsepower is ideal for a home treadmill. Be careful here - some cheap treadmills will brag that they have a 3 PEAK horsepower motor. This is not the same as CONTINUAL horsepower. In my opinion, a 3 PEAK horsepower motor is inadequate for long treadmill life.
Structure
Even though it may cost a few dollars more, I recommend buying a treadmill (or elliptical trainer) with a quality, steel structure.
Unfortunately, many of the cheaper treadmills just are not built well enough for long life. If your exercise consists mainly of easy and slow walking, then a cheaper machine may do - MAY do. The best treadmills have a great structure that can take years of pounding as you jog or run on your treadmill.
