Subject: RE: Treadmill for home useI went through this a few years ago, and (at least at the time ) it seemed the Sole F80 was the best "budget" treadmill. No Frills, just a good wide running surface and strong motor. There are many great options (as good as your budget will allow ) and some priced below the F80 are also good... the things you should consider are how strong the motor/deck is vs. your pace... you don't want "skips" when you're overpowering the motor/deck. The other thing that was important to me was width of the belt... gym treadmills are usually pretty wide, but most home models are much narrower, so it's easier to veer off. Like anything, ymmv wildly.
I agree with ^, portable is a lie. I was a cheapskate and didn't pay the extra few bucks for the "in room" setup, that was a big mistake. |
