We all want the best treadmill but sometimes it isn’t as easy as we think to find it. There is a lot more to buying a treadmill than looking at its motor power, speed and belt size. Other less obvious factors such as quality, reliability and durability are equally important if not more. You may know the quantitative specs you are looking for (such as 20 by 60 inch belt or a 2.5 continuous duty motor). However two brands that may have these same specs can have a proportional difference in its quality and reliability. One treadmill might last you 3 years whereas the other can last you a lifetime. Luckily, we have done the research for you. Our best rated treadmill models are based on a multitude of criteria, some of which are less obvious to others. Our best treadmill awards were evaluated based on value, quality, reliability, warranty, belt size, motor, cushioning, noise, and features. We provide unbiased information; our goal is that you choose the right treadmill so that you can pursue your fitness and health goals. This page rates the best home treadmill models for seven different price ranges. Each price range has a treadmill best buy and 3 other best recommended treadmill runner ups.
