Treadmill

Ok, let me rephrase my question....does anyone have a treadmill they would recommend? I'll deal with cost later, just looking for recommendations.

Thanks

I've been happy with my Sole. Good features, value, and quality for the money. Excellent warranty. My only knock is that it takes some time to ramp up to speed from stop. I've just learned to deal with it.

The website I mentioned earlier is treadmilldoctor.com
They have a really good section on reviews, features to look for, and more. Check out that site.

I absolutely LOVE my treadmill. Weird, huh?

I forget the brand of our old one, but it was $1800 new, so it wasn't a total cheapo. It lasted through 8 years of pounding by both myself and my husband, neither of us being light-weights. Eventually, the motor and the belt gave out, so we decided to upgrade instead of fixing it. I didn't like how it took awhile to transition on speed and incline and it never felt comparable to outside, but it got the job done.

This time, we went for the good stuff. Precor 9.31. Have I mentioned yet that I love it? It truly feels really, really close to running outdoors, it is as solid as any treadmill I've ever been on, it's quiet and smooth... We went for almost base model because we just didn't want lots of 'gadgets' (like the integrated HR stuff) but this puppy is for real. Seriously. Up to 12 mph and 15% incline, nice length/width running bed and intuitive controls. We have a few set programs, but not many as I don't even bother with those.

Oh and by the way...I love it.
