    The one that awaits me outside.

    Seriously, we need more info. Do you need specific specs, have space restrictions at home, or a very high weight? How often do you think you'll use it? Incorporation from specific apps or screens?

    The best treadmill is the one you will use. It depends on what you are going to do with it also.

    I am a huge fan of the NordicTrack line because I enjoy the IFIT programming. I have a NordicTrack treadmill that I’m going to replace with one with a bigger screen when this one dies. I have had mine for going on 4 years and I use it every day. Between my son and I, we use it probably 2 hours a day anyway. I do the hikes and walking tours on mine. My son (12) solely does walking tours on it, 2-3 of them a day because they are interesting. They automatically change the incline and speed as you go along which I appreciate the challenge of them changing it up.

    Will you be just walking or jogging? Also depending on your current weight you have to know what the max weight is. I prefer a longer wider deck even now that I'm half the person of when I got mine. It is still my preference. I can speed up slow down hover to right and left...

    I own the 2019 version of the #1 recommended on link below. I wish I would have gotten the nicer one, but I got what they had on hand as the GYM and stores were going on lock down.

    Check out the site on a whole and whittle it down to your specific needs.

    For XMAS I will likely splurge and get a new $$ dollar one for the house. The Sole has served me well, but I want something hardier much like my 10+ year old Precor elliptical that still looks and works like its new. Incline on tread is pretty standard, but I want one with a decline feature as well.

    Do you have a Planet Fitness close to you? As much as everybody loves to hate them if they'd been around when I bought my treadmill (A PaceMaster - company no longer exists) I probably would have saved my $$ and the space in the basement. Don't get me wrong my treadmill has served me very well and it is very convenient having it there to use whenever I want but the truth is that the vast majority of fitness equipment that people buy becomes expensive towel racks.
