  • True PS300
  • Sole TT8
  • NordicTrack Commercial 1750
  • Sole F63
  • ProForm 505 CST
  • ProForm CrossTrainer
  • ProForm 400i

  • NordicTrack EXP 7i
  • ProForm Carbon T10
  • Horizon Fitness T101
  • Echelon Stride
  • NordicTrack C 700

    • Price

    When looking for the best budget treadmill, price is a key consideration [1] . The XTERRA Fitness TRX3500 Folding Treadmill can be found on Amazon for under $1000 [1] , while the ProForm 400i can be purchased from Amazon for $600 [1] . MaxKare folding treadmill is also an affordable option, sold on Amazon for $370 plus $20 shipping [1] . It's worth checking estate sales too, as one Reddit user found a practically brand new machine worth $6k for only $500 [1] .

    Durability

    Durability should also be taken into account when selecting a budget treadmill [2] . True PS300 has a solid motor and sturdier deck and is priced at around $2400 [2] , while StarTrac ETRx can be found on Craigslist for around $500 [2] . Woodway hands down has the best reputation when it comes to durability, although it's more expensive than other treadmills in the same category.

    Quality

    Quality should heavily influence your decision when choosing a treadmill. Horizon Fitness T101 has 5 built-in programs and Bluetooth connectivity at an affordable price of around $999.99 [3] , while Echelon Stride offers a high top speed and safety stop lanyard at a reasonable cost of around $799.99 [3] . If you're looking for something with higher end features like real-road simulation or coolaire workout fan, NordicTrack EXP 7i might be the one for you, priced at around $1499.99 [3] . ProForm Carbon T10 is also a good option with large library of classes and cooling fan, available from Amazon for around 600$ [3] .

    Used Market

    The used market is another great place to look for budget treadmills. One Reddit user advises checking Facebook Marketplace since many people don't use their treadmills after buying them [1] , while another suggests looking at estate sales since you might find great deals there as well [1] .

    Weight Capacity

    Weight capacity should also be taken into consideration when selecting a treadmill. The Sole F63 has weight capacity of 325 lbs, while the Best Choice Products 800W supports up to 350 lbs [4] [7] [8] LifeSpan TR3000i can handle up to 300 lbs [5] and Goplus 1100W Folding Treadmill supports up to 350 lbs [5] . The Nordictrack Commercial 1750 has weight capacity of 300 lbs [6] , while Sole F80 handles up to 375 lbs [6] and Horizon T101 Treadmill supports up to 325 lbs [8] .

    Source: "Sole F63 vs NordicTrack EXP 7i Treadmill" (from reddit, r/treadmills)

    • Sole F63
      • low speed E2 error is common but can be caused by worn out belt and deck, extremely dry belt and deck, or high belt tension
      • good walking treadmill for everyone, a good jogging treadmill for lots of people, and a good running treadmill only for lighter users
      • sturdy for the price and good value if you can stay on top of the maintenance
      • Sole F63 is $1199 plus $99 shipping to your driveway with no sales tax, with the optional $299 White Glove Assembly
    • NordicTrack
      • terrible reputation for reliability and customer service
      • gamble - won’t even talk to dealer for warranty claims
      • if you can’t live without something unique NordicTrack offers - like iFit or the extreme elevation of their incline trainers
      • not as sturdy for heavy jogging/running
    • LifeSpan
      • nice with better features on some products, but a bit less sturdy for heavy jogging/running
