to store the treadmill economically is a plus also, and
sturdy hand rails and easy on/off benefits add to your
experience.
Other features that you may want to consider include safety
features, shock absorption, variable speeds, calorie
counters (to tell you just how hard you've been working!)
time/distance calculators, and of course a reasonable

as ten years. Shop around.
