Bowflex Series 3 Treadmill

This comes from a reputable company (Bowflex) and is basically the lower-end model of the generic Bowflex line. It will run you about $1,000. 

The advantages:

• A lengthy warranty - 2 years for parts, 1 year for labor

• Heavy frame, keeps it from shaking around (especially if you are a heavier person)

• "Quick keys" that let you change the walking speed immediately

• Heart rate sensors in the handlebars

• Low cost compared to the features it includes

• Good shock absorption, which is great for avoiding knee injuries

• Extremely strong reviews on Amazon.com (indicates good customer satisfaction)

The disadvantages:

• The low cost comes at a price - they've removed some of the features from the more advanced models (Series 5 and Series 7, which you will also want to consider if you're looking at this one)

• Pretty heavy - nearly 300 pounds, so you won't be moving this around easily

• Can get loud to work out on

• The motor isn't all that powerful
