Best UK home treadmill?

Hubby is over 6 foot and broad so we need something with both a decent width and length of running area.

Space isn't an issue so it doesn't need to fold etc.

Only issue is price. It is worth holding out and saving up some more for a second hand commercial treadmill? Or can anyone recommend a cheaper option which will tick the boxes? I run 15k per week, and hubby 25-30k so it needs to take a reasonable amount of home use rather than to look good/accommodate a stroll once a fortnight!

    I can't help with the 'Dread mill' but is there a reason why you can't exercise outside .. our weather is never too bad to do that.

    Sadly there are many. Small child who obviously can't be left. Hubby works long hours so far too dark most of the year when he's home. No pavements (we are rural yet no footpaths either) but reasonably fast/dangerous roads which makes for unpleasant outside running conditions and no natural loops, so it's straight up straight down, etc

    We have a huge garden (in the acres) so have a 500 meter "track" (grass obviously) around the edge, so this time of year is fine, but we struggle like mad all winter because it gets dark and like a bog!
