#1 Merit Fitness 725T Treadmill

J. Fotenot – Love it!!! - “I’m really happy with this treadmill. I can’t tell the difference between this one and much more expensive models. It has preset routines, automated incline, pulse monitor, a cup holder. It’s sturdy to walk on and absorbs impact for a cushy run. Runs smoothly and quietly. And has a lifetime warranty. And free shipping!”

#2 Bowflex Series 7 Treadmill

N. Hampton – Great Machine – “It took some time before the treadmill was delivered however I cannot complain because the delivery was free. This machine is of very good quality and construction. I had no trouble assembling it but would recommend a helper when it comes to putting on the top part of the treadmill control unit. Also put it together in the room you intend to use it in.”

#3 Stamina InMotion II Manual Treadmill

R. Collins – Great Little Treadmill – “I was looking for a smaller treadmill that was easy to fold up and store, and this one is! It shipped quickly and was easy to assemble. My mom has a manual treadmill that is very difficult to get started so I was a little hesitant to order one, but this one is very easy to get going and provides a great work out!”

#4 Phoenix 98516 Easy-Up Manual Treadmill

D. Cohen – A Good Basic Treadmill – “This is a fine item. The product was delivered as promised, with all parts attending. Includes sufficient tools for assembly. Easy to put together, and sturdily built. Because of the incline of the deck you get quite the workout. Comes with a nice little booklet/manual. Folds up and has cleverly placed rollers making stowage easy.”

#5 Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill

skecheeone – Easier Than I Thought – “the treadmill came completely assembled so when it arrived, i just threw the packaging away and used it the same day. when i saw that it would fit under my bed, i was skeptical but lo and behold, IT FITS. how nice since my apartment is so small. no problems with delivery or anything. everything was exactly as i expected, i would recommend for anyone looking for a very compact, easy to use basic treadmill.”

#6 Horizon Fitness T91 Treadmill

Alohamami – affordable quality item - “This was was bought for my husband and we saved almost $200 buying here (free shipping!) than from a local sporting goods store. It took him about 60-90 minutes to put it all together and he commented that this was one of the easiest things he’s had to assemble due to the nuts and bolts being packaged in individual bags. A great buy!”

#7 Bowflex TC5000 Treadclimber

I. Green - Great Machine, Great Workout – “This was the first time I had ever purchased a refurbished piece of exercise equipment, and I have to admit – it was a smart decision! It arrived in practically brand new condition in the box, it was well-packaged, I know that a human being has already tested it, and I saved over $1200! The TC 5000 is a GREAT workout, much better than a treadmill, not as strenuous as a stair-stepper. Only takes up about 2 x 4 ft. of floor space, easy to set up…”

#8 Merit Fitness 715T Treadmill

K. Taylor – Low Cost But High Quality – “This is the best treadmill you can buy for the cost. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a lower cost treadmill but this thing has exceeded my expectations. It is sturdy and well built, the motor is relatively quiet and has a very comfortable surface. You have to adjust the incline manually and there is only 4 training programs but for the price of this thing the extra features aren’t missed. If you are looking for a great treadmill for a good price without all the bells and whistles , this is the one you are looking for>”

#9 LifeSpan Fitness TR 2000-HRC Treadmill

T. Rodriquez – Made my own home gym — love it! – “I switched shifts so I cancelled my gym membership and decided to buy my own home gym…I did not have that much room in our spare room so I looked for a treadmill and bike that would take up little space. After reading reviews on Consumer Reports and Treadmill Dcotor I decided to buy the TR 2000-HRC treadmill. I love it! I can go uphill and downhill, it is super quiet and it gives me the same running surface size as the other treadmills I was looking at but does not have the hood in the front (which I always kicked at the gym!) and takes up more than a foot less space! I have been using it for about 2 months now 4 to 5 days per week and would recommend it not only for the small size but for the quality!”

#10 Bowflex Series 3 Treadmill

Sue P. – Bowflex series 3 treadmill – “I looked in Consumer Reports for the best treadmill for my dollar and decided to buy this model. I absolutely love it! It was very well priced through Amazon.com and I thought the shipping was very fast.(About two weeks which is not much considering the weight). It is very heavy and well constructed. It does need to be put together, but I did it with my twelve year old daughter in about an hour with no difficulty. Everything is so well laid out for you, and the instructions were great! The treadmill is comparable to fitness center models! Very easy to operate. The folding is easy and it comes down very gently. I am very pleased with the Bowflex series 3 treadmill in every aspect and I thank Amazon for making it available for such a good price and free shipping to boot!”
