I am replacing a well worn and not a high end model treadmill that just went out and wanted to know what models people have used and liked. I will be running on this so it needs to be durable. All the other ones I have had have not been top quality, and I am going to splurge this time around.

I bought a used ProForm and love it! I read up on them and the later versions weren’t that great but anything from 2011 on are very good quality. I love mine! I found it on Craigslist and offered the gal $300 for it and she said take it! They’ve moved 3x and her husband is sick of hauling it all over the country
What I found they usually go for 600-1200$ depending on all the extras. I ran on a lot of ProForm treads when I went to school and liked them then too.
Check out http://www.treadmilldoctor.com. Great source of info on treadmills. We have a Sole we bought several years ago, it's been a good treadmill. We use ours a lot, when we are actually using it lol. Unfortunately it's been on vacation lately. I need to fix that.
I just got on the Treadmill Dr yesterday. Actually I have it broke down to about 3 brands. Sole, Nordictrack and True . The site helped me make some choices. I have had several lower end treadmills but they did not last. I do have a True Elliptical and love it. I think I will spend a little more and get something that is better quality.
