Looking to get a treadmill for home. My only specific requirements are one that inclines, and preferably one that folds up for storage, if needed. Other than that, I know nothing. Any recommendations, or things to look for or avoid?

Just make sure you don't get one with a narrow belt.

We had one and I likely would've used it way more and kept it but I went cheap and got one with a narrower belt and trying to monitor my stride on it was a real PITA.

Yep, just seconding that. I've gone cheap on a treadmill before....too narrow and couldn't stand up to real jogging speeds. Save your money and buy a solid model like you see in gyms.

This. The wider the belt, the more clothes and boxes of **** you can fit on it after you stop using it in 2 months.

I kid. My wife wanted one during covid and I bet her it was going to be used maybe 10 to 20 times and then would just become furniture....I didn't want it at all knowing this.

And I was dead on.

We bought the peloton tread in 2022ish. Belt, not slats version. My wife used it a lot more than I did until she got pregnant 8 months ago. The times I do use it, I enjoy it and still take advantage of their outdoor audio only classes.

ETA: I've also logged a lot of miles on the life fitness 95t. You can probably get one used from a gym.

Just started looking. But, as it turns out my parents have one they may be parting with.
