Evening all, this may be moon on a stick territory but the boss is looking for a folding treadmill. Now the only ones I've used are in the gym at work and they are massive heavy beasts.
I've no idea about the things so looking for some pointers. Don't think she's looking to spend more than £300 so second hand it is!

Makes, models, features ..... Any help appreciated

Cheers

Davie

Treadmill for the Mrs

Is she a decent cook and handy on the cleaning?

I got my wife a Confidence Fitness Power Plus Treadmill like this one:
https://www.tesco.com/direct/confidence-power-plus-electric-motorised-folding-treadmill/554-9244.prd?skuId=554-9244&pageLevel=sku&sc_cmp=ppc_sh-_-sh-_-bg-_-554-9244&gclid=CKKymozCwdICFXUo0wodz7YN1Q&gclsrc=aw.ds&source=others

It seems to be sturdy enough, has variable speed and varous programs but doesn't have electronic gradient changing. Mrs natrix seems to be happy enough with it and it folds easily for storage in the garage. Only tends to get used in the winter months. I don't know much about treadmills but this model seem sto be popular with folk who make their own jogging desks.

We got one for my wife – she specifically wanted one that had an adjustable gradient. I think it cost about £250 second hand from Ebay.

BTW, ours is in the garage (concrete floor) but resting on a piece of carpet.

And I have just found a similar one on Ebay...
