As previously mentioned, these reviews are not absolute and infallible. You can still find cheap treadmills that suits your basic workout needs. That is why there is the consumer report treadmill guide to help look into as many brands and products as you can.
The most important thing about a treadmill is that it addresses all your needs. With the many innovations in today's treadmills, you have to know what exactly you need. Here are some of the things to start with.
- The motor - Some consumer reports would say that anything lower than 1.5 horsepower is an inferior product. But others would say 2.0 hp is better. This is the heart of your treadmill equipment. Your defining line may perhaps be your budget.
- Your weight against the treadmill's features - If you are sensitive about your weight, try not to. It is important to choose the treadmill that can carry your weight. The motor for example, may not carry you during workout and a motor is the most expensive.
