Need to find a quality treadmill for a family member to walk on. I would much prefer to ruck so I’m no help
Footprint doesn’t matter iFit or similar not needed nor wanted Nothing too fancy just something to walk on while they listen to a podcast and stare at the wall  No chance of running - individual has bad knees To me, durability and quality should primary goal. Suggestions or comments. Thanks |

What's your local classifieds look like? Treadmills depreciate like crazy, and it's often possible to find commercial ones for a couple hundred dollars.

Local for me is basically Craigslist or word of mouth. Everyone tells me Marketplace is so full of scams now to not even bother. In looking it was pretty dry on treadmills. Saw a few but none were even close to what I was trying to find. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I did the research a few years ago and a Sole was the clear winner for home use. I went with Concept 2's bikeerg instead, so no first hand knowledge. @Rolandofgilead has stated in a couple of threads that as a fitness equipment repair person, he see's very few Sole's.

Weird, I didn't get the tag on this. Yeah Sole is a good brand. I would generally get the most heavy duty one you can afford. I would NOT get anything meant for home use, and I would NOT get a Nordictrack/Icon brand. Get a commercial grade Sole, Life Fitness, Cybex, True....honestly they ALL will break, but NTs break a LOT more often and as someone that did warranty work for them I would steer clear. |

Marketplace > CL IMO. I've done some business with this guy, he refurbishes equipment. https://fitnessequipmentdepot.net/product-category/fitness-equipment/cardio/treadmills/ Technogym is a good brand This Cybex should be good too Note that commercial grade and higher quality brands have higher HP motors- this cybex has a 5HP one. Here's a popular NT machine that has a 3.5HP motor- and it's a commercial grade. The home use ones often have a 2HP motor. I've replaces a lot of those and a lot of control boards. https://www.nordictrack.com/treadmills/commercial-1750-treadmill |
