Looking for Advice on a Treadmill

Most treadmills which are less than "commercial quality", or gym treadmills, are junk. The motors aren't worth the materials they are made with. I would suggest looking at one of the chains that sells commercial gym quality equipment or you will likely have a useless waste a space in your house a year from now, Chris.

the motor is the most important thing. Anything less than 3-3.5 chp is not going to last.

Www.treadmilltalk.com is a good site to check out
