Good luck, but my parents have cheaped out on two, and several friends have done the same thing, and they junked them within a year..... The problem is that with cheap, you buy a cheap motor. I know my parents was rated for 225lbs, and my dad was only 200 and it crapped out.

Anyway, my former roommate bought an eliptical from sears, and its a great machine... but not a treadmill.... Hope this helps, and good luck

if you have any kind of knee problems check with your doctor first. i have r a and my knee has it the worse. i thought my knee was better so i got on my treadmill and i have been walking and some light jogging and now my knee is swallon again. so i have decided to stick with my stionary bike. hopefully when i lose 50 lbs i will be able to go back on it. my treadmill has alot of features and i bought it a sports store. have you checked out used fitness stores??

We have a Sole treadmill and love it! We read reviews on www.treadmilldoctor.com before we bought. They review ellipticals too and sort everything by price. Hope that helps!
